SoundCells releases version 2 of Simple Sampling
At first Soundcells started working on a fun ReFill based on a Stylophone only, which was recorded for sampling purposes. Besides programming a patch that matches the real thing, the NNXT sampler in Reason was tweaked to go some extra steps and some fat funky clavinet-style patches caught by surprise. While producing the Stylofunk mini track (apart from the loop it’s entirely based on stylophone samples) some extra cool stuff was added to this ReFill: a “single-sample-rhodes”, a “single-sample-piano”, a “single-sample-kalimba” and a lot of other nifty stuff…
“Simple Sampling” gradually turned into a product full of “simple samples” coming from different sound sources. If you are looking for classic old-school sampled sounds instead of huge patches built by hundreds of individual samples, you will love this ReFill. Patches are super-fast loading, CPU-friendly and they are full of ‘retro’ character… Version 2 is an awesome update which adds 25 new combinator patches, some minor additions as well as reworked backdrops…
Simple Sampling Contents:
- 126 combinator patches for many different styles of music, subdivided in 6 folders: Bass, Drum Machines, FX & Atmo, Keys, Leads, Pads.
- A note by note (a2 – e4) sampled and looped Stylophone including it´s typical release click
- “Simple Samples” coming from the Rhodes Mark 1, Doepfer MS404, Supernova 2, microKORG, G2, Kawai K5000…
- The modules folder contains the basic NNXT patches which are used for the combinator sounds.
- 10 Rex loops, 5 Redrum kits
Pricing and Availability:
Offer price is 17,90 EUR (normally 24,90 EUR)

Goldbaby Super Analog 808
Loopmasters has released Super Analog 808, a sample library featuring high quality TR-808 samples by Goldbaby.
Punchy, warm, analog drums with Round Robin Layering. Using high-end outboard and a compulsive attention to detail… this 808 sample set is pure analog drum heaven.
Why have you created another TR-808 sample set?
For a start the 808 is one of my favorite drum machines! Secondly I thought I could offer something a little different. This sample pack has been recorded at a higher sampler rate and has extensive Round Robin treatment to recreate the feel and movement of an analog drum machine. The Tape808 used tape to give it extra Mojo… this time I have used some new high end outboard. Tasty…
Is there anything else that is different?
Yes there certainly is. This pack has tuned chromatic BD and Conga patches. So you can play them on your keyboard!
Super Analog 808 features
- 1168 x 24 bit / 96 kHz wav files.
- Instrument patches for: Battery 3, EXS24, Kontakt 3.
- Patches make use of extensive Round Robin mapping for a more analog feel.
- Also includes tuned Chromatic BD and Conga patches (Kontakt, EXS24, Battery).
- Note: the GURU pack includes the samples + Drum Mashine patches for Guru.
Super Analog 808 is available to purchase for £24.95 GBP.

Elastik Inspire Series
Ueberschall presents the new „Inspire Series”! This innovative concept offers new ideas and complete arrangements „on the fly”. Endless searching for matching key and BPM is a thing of the past. With the help of the Elastik 2 Player each inspiration is transformed into a new, unique track.
Loop to Inspire!
Here’s what they have to say about it:
How does „Elastik Inspire Series” work?
The „Elastik Inspire Series” goes beyond previous boundaries of sample libraries. All loops and tonal phrases fit together perfectly every time, even across genres. Each sample is automatically detected and stretched to the song tempo.
The Elastik 2 Player, the 2 GB sample library and the elaborate tagging system aid in spontaneously creating new tracks. The workflow is fast, simple and clear.
Any instrument can be replaced with samples of the same instrument group at random via the intelligent random-replacement function. The results always work flawlessly. All samples of the „Elastik Inspire Series” match perfectly. This creates millions of opportunities for new and inspiring tracks.
Everything is possible!
The „Elastik Inspire Series” represents an inexhaustible source of inspiration especially for creative people in the music, film, multimedia and web industry. Due to the high quality of ueberschall products the created tracks can be immediately integrated into one’s own projects without any further treatment.
What do the different functions mean?
Using the „Random” button, new combinations of instruments can be created automatically. The selected sample will be replaced by a randomly selected sample of the same instrument class. The tagging system keeps track of certain features, such as the type of instrument of the sample. Thereby samples are selected from all genres.
Apart from its new graphic interface, Elastik 2 offers a whole new range of desirable features: The self-explanatory browser, designed for fast access to any loaded sound libraries. Browser features: The multiple filter search function allows quickly to find sounds. Prelisten the whole library content in-sync to host tempo and tag favorite samples.
The central Loopeye surface focuses all attention on the loop. All editing is now done inside the Loopeye. Within Loopeye you can record all cursor movements for automation purposes. Elastik 2 even features a sequence mode. Slice up your loop and access an unmatched multitude of editing features for each part.
Due to the advanced architecture of the élastique pro algorithm by zplane.development, realtime sync-to-host is an integral part of Elastik 2.
It also provides highest sound quality and CPU-friendly processing. A random replacement function is a ground breaking feature to create new loops and sounds. Elastik 2 now offers a completely dynamic zoom function to resize its window format.

Comprehensive Live Pack featuring the German Hohner HS2/E synthesizer
Detunized has released DTS024 – Phase Facets, a comprehensive Live Pack featuring the German Hohner HS2/E synthesizer from 1988.
The Hohner HS2/E and it´s Japanese original, the Casio VZ10m, are the last hardware synths working with „interactive Phase Distortion“ synthesis. The iPD was meant as an effort to deliver sounds comparable to those of FM synthesis while its results are easier to predict. IPD is capable of producing wonderful „non-filter“ and „non-substractive“ tones with sharp attacks and digital precision.
The 650 MB Live Pack „Phase Facets“ contains a diversified collection of such iPD sounds that must be categorized far beyond the standard Bass and Lead libraries. With their rich harmonic content and agile brightness the 30 included Live Instruments enrich each Live Library with some 80s retro charme.
DTS024 – Phase Facets Live Pack (30 instruments/650 MB/842 samples) is available to purchase as an instant download for 6.98 EUR. Subscribers can purchase DTS024 + DTS023 – Curetronic Modular Vol. 2 for 4.98 EUR only.
