In 1930–32, the spectacularly innovative and complex Rhythmicon was realized by Léon Theremin on the commission of composer-theorist Henry Cowell, who wanted an instrument with which to play compositions whose multiple rhythmic patterns, based on the overtone series, were far too difficult to perform on existing keyboard instruments. Drum computers are still used a lot in todays music. Heres an opportunity for... http://www.splurgo.com/image.php?id=16459 http://www.splurgo.com/product.php?productid=16459 http://www.splurgo.com/product.php?productid=16458 Apr 25, 2011 Date Added: 04/11 String instruments are used to play arpeggios in classical music. Along with scales, arpeggios are a form of basic technical exercise. Take this exercise in some nice loops and you will find a pack filled with string arpeggios. These loops are played on the cello. http://www.splurgo.com/image.php?id=16458 http://www.splurgo.com/product.php?productid=16458 http://www.splurgo.com/product.php?productid=16457 Jan 22, 2011 Date Added: 02/11 This Production Track is unmistakable called lullaby because of its peaceful atmosphere.

Although these more complex meters were common in non-Western music, they were rarely used in formal written Western music until the 19th century. Due to request we decided to do a rock drum loops pack with more complex time signatures. This pack consist of a bunch of 5/4 loops and 7/4 loops. http://www.splurgo.com/image.php?id=16456 http://www.splurgo.com/product.php?productid=16456 http://www.splurgo.com/product.php?productid=16455 Jan 22, 2011 Date Added: 01/11 The Glockenspiel is often confused with the Xylophone. Both instruments are percussion instruments, composed of a set of tuned keys arranged in the fashion of the keyboard of a piano. However, the xylophones bars are made of wood, while the glockenspiels are metal plates or tubes, thus making it a metallophone. The glockenspiel, moreover, is usually smaller and higher in pitch. The loops in this Glockenspiel sample pack are not really complex and are perfect for little melo... http://www.splurgo.com/image.php?id=16455 http://www.splurgo.com/product.php?productid=16455 http://www.splurgo.com/product.php?productid=16454 Jan 22, 2011 Date Added: 01/11 These Reggae bassloops are perfect to set the vibe for your upcoming reggae project.

The instrument reached a peak in popularity by 1850, and by the end of the 19th century cajón players were experimenting with the design of the instrument by bending some of the planks in the cajóns body to alter the instruments patterns of sound vibration. Some Cajons may also have several vertically stretched cords pressed against the tapa for a buzz like effect or tone.

We had visions of bright colors and sparkles while creating this Important note: Since pads are difficult to loop (because of their sustain) its best to use a crossfade or something similar on these loops. All loops and samples have 2 or 4 extra bars to keep their sustain. http://www.splurgo.com/image.php?id=16442 http://www.splurgo.com/product.php?productid=16442 http://www.splurgo.com/product.php?productid=16441 May 3, 2010 Date Added: 05/10 The Hip Hop Beats Collection is a mix of different kind of Hip Hop and RnB.

In 1969, electronic music pioneer Bruce Haack built one of the first truly musical vocoders. In the decades after that the vocoder became more popular, especially in new age music. And also today the vocoder is still used, we created beats using a synth vocoder, so experiment all the way! http://www.splurgo.com/image.php?id=16440 http://www.splurgo.com/product.php?productid=16440
