428 24-bit trumpet samples
The Duke nukes us with more than 400 horny trumpet samples. Played by Matt Myer on a Martin Committee T3460, these 125bpm phrases were recorded with an AKG C3000 mic through an Avalon Vt-737sp channel. Because of the instrument’s dynamic nature, these samples haven’t been post-processed – you can add your own processing in the mix if it’s required.

212 24-bit house samples
rachMiel’s fractured take on the house sound takes the genre to strange new places, though among the more abstract moments there’s still plenty of room for old-skool beat and bass loops, lush pads and catchy stabs. If tougher house styles are your bag, check out some of rach’s more extreme rhythm loops, where you’ll find hard-hitting percussion aplenty.
