Spectrasonics - Products - Stylus RMX

DJ Hawk (aka: Adam Hawk from Spectrasonics) is a talented Turntablist and his performance samples are featured in the sound menus of the RMX Core Library. In this memorable track, he's making great use of RMX's awesome built-in FX rack.

FEATURES: Stylus RMX, Trilian and Omnisphere

NeoOne - Diego Stocco

This one's pretty wicked! Diego starts with showing some of the tonal capability of RMX in the first half of the demo. The break introduces Omnisphere and a drum groove from the Backbeat Xpander. Believe it or not, the vocals are from RMX!!

FEATURES: Omnisphere and Stylus RMX

Sand Storm - Ned Bouhalassa

Eclectic demo that shows many different parts of the Stylus RMX core library in a "soundtrack remix" approach. The sliced vocal riff from "Motion Century" is a frequent favorite.

FEATURES: 100% Stylus RMX

Babylon - JDG

The master of dub mystery shows off some of the "Classic" part of the core library. Tasty guitar work here too.

FEATURES: Stylus RMX and Live Guitar

Elektrolive - Stéphane Bonvallet

Sounds like an all-nighter!

FEATURES: Stylus RMX, Metamorphosis, NoizBox and Big Bad Beats SAGE Xpanders

Paper Moon - Marc Pattison

A very fat call and response demo showcasing the RMX core library in a high energy groove.

FEATURES: Stylus RMX, Trilian, Omnisphere and Live Guitar

Psychosis - CypherOne

Really creative user demo we found over at KvRaudio.com!

Cypher uses the core library in a lot of creative ways with odd accents.

FEATURES: Stylus RMX and various soft synths

Live Groove Menu - Stéphane Bonvallet

A very clever completely live performed demo using only grooves from the RMX core library. Stephane is using the Favorites and Groove Menu systems to pull this off all on a single MIDI channel!

FEATURES: 100% Stylus RMX

House In Bangkok - Ned Bouhalassa

Nutty Ned strikes again!

FEATURES: Stylus RMX, Omnisphere, Live Bass and Guitar

Bitshift vs Stylus - Art Gillespie

How often do you get to have a demo from another developer? This killer track was kindly submitted by none other than Mr. Bitshift himself (creator of the fine pHATmatik Pro, and an in-demand remixer/producer), taking Stylus RMX down an intense hardcore path. The mono synth sounds are coming from the Wine Country/Sequential Pro One softsynth in Pulsar, and the pad and noise effect is from the Pentagon one. Stutter edits were done post-mixdown in Wavelab. An excellent example of how Stylus RMX sounds in a more "pumped-up" context.....thanks Art!

Club Kids - Mocean Worker

East Coast remixer "MOWO!" (aka Adam Dorn) contributed this demo to show how fast a dance track can be created...this one was almost done in real-time! This first section features a killer "live scratch dj battle simulation", which Adam achieved by performing wildly from a MIDI keyboard with Stylus RMX scratch menus. The second half features some synths from Atmosphere and a more "housey" feel.

FEATURES: 100% Stylus RMX and Omnisphere

Bernie Funk - Chris O'Brien

Chris has Stylus RMX firing away on this track. He's using the a bunch of Groove Menus in combination with effecting some of the Ride Cymbal Groove Control loops in Logic. The funky keys come from Michael Beardon's greasy "Keys to the City" sample library from ILIO. All created with headphones on a Powerbook....pretty good mix! Chris added the bass line and kept the track as a tribute to the great funk synth master Bernie Worrell of P-Funk/Talking Heads fame.

Chill Ibiza - Adrian Clarida

Adrian is not only our compatriot across the pond at Time & Space UK, but an accomplished producer/remixer with several major singles as a dance producer. This is a very clever track, and because of where it starts, the downbeat is entirely mysterious. Adrian made excellent use of programming 64th note buzz rolls in Cubase with the Stylus RMX loops. He added in the reverse cymbals, snare and scratching, all to a highly creative effect. The synth sounds in this demo come from Plugsound vol.5 from USB.

UK House - Adrian Clarida

This track really develops nicely, and shows how easy it is to turn any of the breakbeat style loops into a House vibe, simply by adding a programmed Kick and Hi-Hat part to a swung Groove Control loop. All the synth FX in the track are from Stylus RMX too....Adrian is doing real-time filtering on "buzz-roll" repeated notes from the scratch FX section....sounds like a synth! Love how this track explodes into high energy at the end, by adding several loops together and quantizing them via Groove Control. This track is all Stylus RMX except for the Bass Organ and synth sound, which come from Plugsound vol.5 from USB. Nice one from UK remixer Adrian Clarida!

Gekko - John Lehmkuhl

Skippy shows off his mix mastery by using Groove Control loops in combination with automating the pitch of the Djembe slices. A lot of the FX builds come from automating the Tape Delay parameters in Logic....nice work John! The scratches and additional kicks and hi-hats were added manually to build the track. The funny thing about the track is the "Gekko" bird sound is actually one of the scratch vocal samples tuned up with reverb and delay added to it. Never would have thought of that one! Excellent demo of the capabilities of Stylus RMX. 100% Stylus RMXwith a plug-in modified Bass sound from the Emagic ES-1

Future Funk - Adrian Clarida

Here Adrian is using Stylus RMX to filter bits of the Groove Control slices differently and treating them with delay plug ins. He's changed the vinyl loops into an almost "Metamorphosis" vibe, which demonstates how flexible Stylus RMX is when digging into what the interface can do. This track is all Stylus RMX except for the Bass, which comes from Plugsound vol.5 from USB. Defintely got a "Rockit goes to Berlin" vibe!

Techno Tentacles - Eric Persing

This track is 100% Stylus RMX. The idea EP has here is show off how flexible Stylus RMX is for creating your own unique rhythms and sounds. None of these grooves come this way on the product....it is actually using the interface to create radical pitch, envelope and filter modulations of standard percussion loops! The metallic filter loop was a basic triangle pattern, the bubbles were originally a bongo loop, and the zaps were an african Djembe loop. The noise sweep effects were originally turntable needle scrapes! The possibilities of working with Groove Control and the interface are nearly infinite for mangling and coming up with wild sounds.

Ambient DnB - John Lehmkuhl

Skippy takes us through his dreams with Stylus RMX showcasing some of the percussion section and doing some really interesting half time/double-time stuff with Stylus RMX and Logic. The synths and FX are mostly coming from Absynth. This is such a nice vibe!

Dj Liquidity - Diego Stocco

Diego's fast and furious track shows tons on Stylus RMX playing in rapid succession. He's basically got it all happening at once here: Grooves, Scratching, Percussion samples, Effects, programmed add-on drums, reversed cymbal add-ons, a flurry of bending effects created with MIDI programming and automation....you name it. The Guitar Wah is from a Bizarre Guitar Groove Control loop and the Bass Guitar lick is from Bass Legends. Takes a couple of listens to really hear how much is happening in here....wild!

Come On Now - Bob Wilson

This is another one of those tracks that's amazing because every sound is coming from Stylus RMX! Really creative use of retuning the vinyl FX into musical sounds. Bob programmed the fills with the percussion sound menus in Stylus RMX... Cool one that really shows the possibilities of using Stylus as a musical sound source too!

Deeper - MIDIhead

This demo is actually the backing track of MIDIhead's remix of the Fixx's "Deeper and Deeper" hit from the 80's. Massive!

FEATURES: Stylus RMX, Metamorphosis, Trilian and Omnisphere

Squared Yellow Box - Diego Stocco

Check this out....this is ONLY Stylus RMX Core Library! No other synths used!

FEATURES: 100% Stylus RMX

White Knuckle - MIDIhead

MIDIhead really goes crazy on this demo, which starts with the famous Bizarre Guitar riff from RMX and goes off in many different directions. The Core Library is showcased with a solid 4 on the floor pulse. MIDIhead used Sound Menus for all the accents and lots of loop manipulation.

FEATURES: Stylus RMX, Trilian, Metamorphosis and Omnisphere

Wait A Minute - Ignacio Longo

Ignacio shows off a bunch of cool remix techniques using Omnisphere and the RMX Core Library in Euro Club style. Note the good use of the Cinematic Metals sound menus for transitional FX.

FEATURES: Omnisphere, Stylus RMX and Triian

Da Love Parade - Adrian Clarida

This track is all Trilian and really shows how it can be used as an amazing all around synth for Club tracks. You can hear the quality of Trilian's filters really well in this track. As usual, another highly creative, and mind-expanding track from UK remixer Adrian Clarida.

FEATURES: Trilian and Stylus RMX

Triple Threat - Tom Salta

Cool "concept" demo from Tom (aka:Atlas Plug), that shows off the vast potential and beauty of having all three types of Bass all in one very powerful instrument.

The demo starts with some Electric Bass harmonics, and an Acoustic Bass line. Then a TB-303 "Acid" sound is added, and soon a Fretless counter line. Pretty soon, more an more synth textures are woven in to create a powerful linear force. Also shows how cool Trilian is for Synth lines very well. This demo is also a showcase for Tom's considerable Stylus RMX drum programming chops!

FEATURES: Trilian and Stylus RMX

Left Of My Field - Adrian Clarida

Mind-expanding demo showing some really unusual ways to use Trilian as a synth. The "sub kick" sound is super, super low (you won't hear it on small speakers at all) is actually a Trilian Bass sound.

FEATURES: Trilian and Stylus RMX

Hero's Last Call - Brice Duncan

This is a short clip showing off Trilian as the massive synth beast that it really is. All the synths are from Trilian, except for the pad which is coming from Omnisphere.

FEATURES: Trilian, Stylus RMX and Omnisphere

Ice Blue - Eric Persing

Eric does a neat trick in this demo of showing how the evolving Ambiences can be used effectively as pulsing synth parts. There are several techniques for achieving this, but he's using a gate on each of the evolving ambiences, which is triggered by a "sidechain" Stylus RMX track. Random filter modulation on the analog synth sequence part too.

FEATURES: Omnisphere and Stylus RMX

Breath Of Fresh Air - Tom Salta

It's hard to listen to this demo and not smile!

Tom got inspired by the Human Vocal Breathing FX section in the core library, and put this little gem together for us. Very cool how he uses the twin bass lines too. Shows off a little bit of Ambiences, Vintage analog sequences, Bell tones, and unique bass sounds too.

Excellent Drum programming and use of Groove Control with Stylus RMX to make that stutter drum intro.

FEATURES: Omnisphere and Stylus RMX

Funk Floor - Matthias Sauer

Matthias is one of the reviewers at the German magazine Keys, and he put together this impressive sounding demo for his review. Punchy and FAT! Nice work Matthias.

FEATURES: Omnisphere and Stylus RMX

HappyHarryHardHouse - Adrian Clarida

UK Remixer Adrian Clarida takes us on an unexpected journey through territory that is definitely WAY off of the "pad/ambient" chart!

Using the Solo mode and glide, he turned the "Magnetic Chamber Strings" sound into a wicked baseline hook.....making it a far more interesting track that your typical 303 acid line could provide. Great drum programming and use of Groove Control on RMX too. Really shows how serious a combination RMX and Omnisphere are for Dance music........hard to top.

FEATURES: Omnisphere and Stylus RMX

Angels - Diego Stocco

Diego focuses on showing many different Ambiences in a complex tapestry, weaving one into the next. Excellent demo of the power and sound quality of Omnisphere and the propulsive groove of RMX. Would make a great soundtrack for a Ferrari commercial.

FEATURES: Omnisphere and Stylus RMX

6AM - Ned Bouhalassa

Get ready for some seriously intense synth work! An incredible demo of how powerful and huge Omnisphere can sound...it ain't small...that's for sure! Doesn't it make you want to put on a Superman outfit, go to Berlin and join the Love Parade?

Ned says this is an ode to his "raving" years....yiikes!

FEATURES: Omnisphere and Stylus RMX

Morton's Lunar Orchard - Ned Bouhalassa

Ned takes us on a little trip through some of the unusual sounds in Omnisphere: from the fizzy opening texture, the cascading flanger pad, to the Vertigo FX and the "Silver Apples of the Moon" sound with the random pitch modulation that inspired this tribute to electronic music pioneer Morton Subotnic.

But as Ned says, "Morton didn't have access to Stylus RMX!" A cool demo filled with surprising twists and turns.

FEATURES: Omnisphere and Stylus RMX

DR2 Lives - Eric Persing

The classic demo showcasing some of the Distorted Reality vol.2 sounds and grooves that are included in the core library of Omnisphere and in Stylus RMX Xpanded.

MetaVirus - Mark Shlaile

This awesome demo was done as a collaboration with our friends at Access Music in Germany.

All the synth sounds are coming from an Access Virus synth and all the rhythm is coming from the Metamorphosis library in Stylus RMX Xpanded. A killer combo!

MetaTronic - Eric Persing

This demo features the Metamophosis grooves from Stylus RMX Xpanded accompanied only by Vocal Planet phases.

MetaFunk - Eric Persing

EP's Funky Electro R&B demo highlights Metaphosis grooves in Stylus RMX Xpanded and phrases/fx from Vocal Planet.
