This one really sounds like a live band! Hans puts the Chaos Designer to effective use on the main drum groove and percussion from the Core Library. Horns are from the old Prosonus library, the vocal phrase is by Tommy Snyder and the Flute solo was played by Makinto....everything else is Spectrasonics!

Nick's the master of the odd-meter demo! This demo was done by manually playing slices, Kit mode and Sound Menus to make a song in 7/8 time.

Under the Radar (aka: Richard Souther) does some very smoky and cool riffing here with the Classic part of the RMX core library. Also featured are some phrase samples from E-Lab's Smoking Lounge REX library in RMX.

The Classic part of the RMX core library has many great vinylistic breaks. This track features them along with the Backbeat SAGE Xpander which appears midway though the demo. More E-Lab Smoking Lound library used in RMX too! Infinite Xpansion possibilities!

This is an experimental demo, to show how Chaos can be used to "rearrange" melodic phrases in real-time! This trumpet solo is from E-Lab's Smoking Lounge REX library...it's amazing how live RMX makes it sound like the trumpet player is jamming along with the loops!

Nice example of combining core library grooves with Kit programming in a traditional smooth jazz setting.

Oskar really shows off how great Stylus RMX can be in a latin setting -especially when you know what your doing as a percussion programmer! It's pretty amazing what he pulls off here....the percussion solos and grooves were all created with the Stylus RMX percussion one-shot samples. Enjoy, and if you ever get a chance to catch Oskar's band "Cartaya and the Enclave", don't miss it...muy caliente!
FEATURES: Stylus RMX Drums and Perc with hardware synth modules.

More cool odd-time fun from Nick Manson...this one's in 13/8 and completely hand played (no loops). Nick sequenced the percussion and drums by manually performing the Groove Control patches to create the 13/8 feel. The Bass is the Modern Pick and Minimoog sub layer from Trilogy. The Rhodes is Nick's real-time EVP-88 jam. EP then added the Ambient section using Atmosphere and performed the opening pulsating "monk" melody line using the wonderful free Delay lama VST instrument which is running through the emagic EVOC-20 vocoder set to a sixteenth trigger in Logic. This demo is a cool blend of live playing and creative techno sound design that you don't hear too often. All possible because of Spectrasonics Virtual Instruments! (and Nick's considerable talents of course!)

An unusual one in 9/8 built around Nick's EVP-88 Rhodes motif. Features all percussion elements and odd filtered elements from Stylus RMX. All the rhythms are hand played and sequenced...no loops used. Nick also played the Groove Control patches manually, since there are no 9/8 grooves presented in Stylus RMX. A great example of a really original way to use Stylus RMX in a non-pop setting.

This track starts off in an abstract way with the detuned and filtered Needle Scratch sample and then builds with more and more Stylus RMX elements coming in and out. Note how effective the subtle real-time filtering of the percussion works in shaping the dynamics of the mix. The keyboard sounds are the FM-7 and EVP-88, and the Bass is the Modern Pick sound from Trilogy.
(Oh....and the great keyboard solo is not virtual, Nick played that in one pass....he's a pretty ridiculous player!)

This unique and organic piece is a dialog between the Pattitucci 6-string Bass and the new Acoustic Bass in Trilian. Time Designer added the unique 6/4 feeling to the track in RMX and Omnisphere is covering the Theremin and Celeste accents.

Noted game composer Lennie Moore contributes this groovy Weather Report style piece using Omnisphere and RMX.
Nick Manson's on the nasty lead synth solo. This sounded a bit like waking someone from their grave, and all the Conga stuff reminded Nick of the late comedian Andy Kaufman..........hence the nutty title.

A gorgeous and very musical demo that showcases a wide variety of the many lush pad colors that Omnisphere has. Nick did some clever rendering to achieve all the changes in texture from section to section, and an interesing technique with the ending solo and comp chords: He originally played it in one pass on a Rhodes sound, and then split the left and right hands in the MIDI sequencer, assigning them to the unique solo sound he put together with some different layers, and the analog Oberheim style comping part on a different Omnisphere part. Great playing...not to mention the excellent percussion programming with RMX too.
