Steinberg Announces 9 New Multi-Format Sample
Discs
January 28, 1999 Steinberg North America today announced
the release of nine new pro-quality SoundDiscs* in partnership with Mixman Technologies
Inc. The Soundiscs feature leading edge audio samples from the world's top sample
producers in three formats (stereo audio, .trk and .wav) for maximum compatibility
with a diverse range of pro-audio gear. Ready to be used in Steinberg Cubase
or Mixman Studio line of real-time remixing software, these Soundiscs are designed
for the utmost control in a studio or a performance situation where the performing
hardware or software supports the superior audio control of the TRK format.
The SoundDisc catalog includes:
Hardcore - featuring DJs Brisk and Dougal - piles of acid lines, arpeggios,
lead synths, 303 sequences, kicks & claps. Separate elements like hi-hat, kick,
snare, and FX can be combined for rhythm loops.
Heaven 17 - elements of dub, electro, ambient, house, drum & bass, techno,
breakbeat, tribal, and world musical styles in an array of tempos and timbres.
Powerful basslines and spacious drum loops stabilize some haunting and soulful
electronic musical bits, pads, synths, and FX.
Tremor - Genetically enhanced bass tones and riffs with the scores of
fresh drum breaks and loops for the first all drum and bass Soundisc.
Darwin Chamber - Clean 303, 808 and 909 elements and loops plus acoustic
drum kits, wah guitars, turntable scratches and vocoder vocals.
Smoke - textures as well as the beats and bass to back it. Stacks of
superb quick and down tempo breaks support the sultry vibes from guitars, keyboards,
pads, and FX in this trip-hop lounge.
Avenue X - The newest Soundisc focussed on rhythm and groove, heavy
with drum loops, rhythm elements, basslines, and FX.
Spectral Frenzy - techno-rhythm and percussion, trancy 303 sequences,
arpeggios, basslines and synths.
Lo Fi Transmission - Chicago-style down and dirty techno-house samples:
vocals, baselines, rhythm and melody for a slammin' warehouse party.
The nine new Soundiscs join Mixman's previous 5 releases and are available
immediately at Steinberg dealers in the United States for a MSRP of $49.95. For more information, visit Mixman's web site at www.mixman.com. |
