Our army of samplesmiths have produced a huge collection of drum and bass loops (1354 samples) in a variety of styles – that’s drum and bass loops, not drum ’n’ bass loops, although that’s not to say there aren’t some drum ’n’ bass loops in there. If you see what we’re trying to say…
What we have here, then, is just over 1300 loops covering many different styles, including chill-out, disco, drum ’n’ bass, funk, glitchcore, groove, hip-hop, IDM, industrial, R&B, rock, techno, house and trip-hop.
Each folder has been named so as to indicate the tempo of its enclosed loops, and each loop is named after its style. Where the tempos of the loops in a folder vary, the folder will be named Misc Tempo, and each loop within the folder will be named to indicate its tempo.

The Electronic Garden have put together a collection of nine 24-bit multisampled instruments, comprising one multisampled drum kit and eight synthesized basses made using TEG’s massive modular synth.
The instruments have been mapped out for a variety of samplers, including DS-404, Kontakt, HALion, NN-XT, and SFZ. TEG have also included mappings for Paax 2 CM and Akai S-5000/Z4 samplers. You’ll need to copy the entire TEG folder onto your hard drive so that your chosen sampler knows where to find the WAV files it needs. If you use Akai or SFZ, you’ll need to copy the presets into the relevant multisample folders.

“This month’s sampular repast begins with an appetizer of skewed electronica bass loops followed by a salad of healthy carbonics, derived from a heinous mod of Reaktor’s fabulous Carbon 2. After a palate cleanser of cluster chords (Ligeti lives!), a double entrée of grooves and jungle beats is served. Another palate cleanser of abstract howls gives way to a triple entree of chordal palindromes, sci-fi extracts, and a slew of splinter beats. Dessert: klangs and sbugis, suitable for background atmospherica. All in all, a meal with something to offer every self-respecting electronica gourmet.”

To accompany the multisamples above, TEG have produced a collection of over 400 MIDI loops in a variety of styles, designed specifically to operate with their nine instruments. Consequently, the velocities and note lengths have been finely tuned to draw the best out of the performance characteristics of the instruments. That’s not to say that they won’t work equally as well with any other instrument you might throw them at, but some minor velocity response tweaking may be required.

An exclusive Reason ReFill from Flandersh Productions. This 10MB pack is stacked with presets for Reason 3’s effects, concentrating primarily on the MClass mastering suite, including task-specific patches for the compressor, EQ and Limiter. This new version of the ReFill now includes further effects presets designed to emulate a variety of amplifiers using the Combinator, and a host of special effects thrown in for good measure.
