David Oliver’s Rhythmic Odyssey

Each of the 100 of David Oliver’s original rhythmic compositions included within this library has been broken down into up to a dozen modular seamless loops, with natural musical development and dynamic progression evolving naturally from intro and build-up to climactic release. These building-blocks are further deconstructed into distinct sub-mix and solo instrumental tracks in the Multitrack preset, allowing you to mix and match elements to create your own unique layered rhythmic combinations.

The built-in loop browser lets you filter your search by style and instrument keywords, tempo and time signature and you can even star your favorite loops for instant recall. Once you load your loops into the slot grid, you can tweak each loop down to the individual transient slice, with playback direction, slice order, ADSR and custom step-automation sequencing for volume, pitch, pan, filter cutoff and resonance parameters that you can freely draw with your mouse.

As always, they’ve packed their custom user interface with lots of great sound-shaping controls that give you the flexibility to warp the shape in many ways. The Stereo Master Kontakt preset is convenient and ram-efficient, giving you instant plug & play access to fully-mixed broadcast-ready percussion beds, so you can get right down to business. The GUI offers you a full feature set of deep sound-shaping tools and macros to radically transform the sonic flavor and customize your workflow. It’s easy to jump in and play, but if you like drilling down to control and customize every sonic detail, the power is yours. The Multitrack Kontakt presets allow automatically tempo-synching loop step-sequencing and playback for up to four sub-mix tracks, with deep user control over performance parameters, DSP effects, modulation and automation down to the level of individual transient slices. And if you want even more control over track effects, signal routing and resource use, you can load each of the tracks as a separate Kontakt instrument preset.

The user interface controls are rounded-out by their modular FX rack window, with 18 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 10 available slots, in any order that you wish. You’ll find classic phase, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ, rotator and so much more. The Reverb effect includes 99 of their own convolution reverb impulse response presets. Each one was captured live in a real-world location. They captured a huge variety of different rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, along with an additional 40 unique, strange and creative special effect impulses to completely transform the sound and open up whole new worlds of musical possibility. They hope you enjoy!
