Isotonik Studios - Coffee & Beats Volume two - BoBeats


RELEASE: OUT NOW PRICE: £12.99

Bo Nurmi is the enigmatic Swedish Maestro who was the one of the first Sound Designers to release a pack of patches for the synths of the Novation Circuit through our Circuit Patch Store.

It seems fitting in the week that saw Novation push the boundaries once more and launch Firmware Version 1.6 (WOW PANNING & TRIPLETS! WE DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!) we return for the next instalment of the Coffee & Beats Series.

After the massive success of the 80's inspired Delorean Dream it was down to Bo under his BoBEats moniker to pick up the baton and deliver a pack that was up to our newly elevated standards and boy has he delivered!

As the follow up to Coffee & Beats Volume ONE BoBeats set out with an aim to create a pack where each sound can be tweaked to get the most out of the 64 patch slots.

Patches 1-32 are more unique in their macro layout and the sound types are varied whereas the patches 33-64 have more of a standard feel to them to give you a broad sound palette to work with.
Patches 33-64 can be shaped using macro knob 5 to switch between different oscillator settings which will give the patches different character. Macro knob 8 was used for distortion which in turn was tweaked to add character and variation to the sounds.

COFFEE & BEATS VOLUME TWO CONTENTS:
  • 64 Circuit patches + BONUS patches!
  • 64 carefully selected drum samples from the Sonic Treats series. All are sampled from the Elektron Analog Rytm drum machine and processed. 
  • 1x FULL pack file for Components with sessions, samples & patches
  • 1x 64 patches Components file
  • 1x 64 drum samples Components file
  • 1x 16 sessions Components file 
  • All patches as individual .syx files.
  • BONUS over 100 drum samples as wave files from Sonic Treats VOL 1&2

Where will you go?

When you watch the Demo Video above to get a glimpse of what comes with the pack and then ponder how you'll make the most of this along with the other packs in our store whilst you'er out on the road with no access to a computer to switch up your patches, sessions or samples....
Ponder no more....

Native Instruments releases MASCHINE Expansion DEEP MATTER

Berlin, September 26, 2017 –  Native Instruments today releases DEEP MATTER, a new MASCHINE Expansion capturing the euphoric darkness of ethereal techno. Pulsing with moody bass, melancholic pads, atmospheric field recordings, and crisp percussion, DEEP MATTER is evocative of Berlin’s deep melodic techno sound.

When the Berlin Wall fell, a stark, cold techno sound emerged from the abandoned buildings and underground bunkers along the former border. It dominated clubs until minimal arrived on the scene with its lean layers and abstracted elements. Over the years, minimal underwent its own transformation, as its sparse percussion melded with polished grooves and pulsing synths to create the atmospheric, ethereal techno of contemporary Berlin. Today this sound is embodied by labels like Steyoyoke, Crossfrontier Audio, and Stil vor Talent.

For DEEP MATTER, Native Instruments collaborated with electronic musician Torsten Fassbender, the co-founder of progressive trance duo Wellenrausch, who previously contributed sounds and demos to FORM and Kinetic Toys. Fassbender channeled his experimental side to create an expansive library of percussive found sounds and atmospheric field recordings from locations around Berlin. The result is a collection of kits encapsulating the authentic vibes of Berlin’s underground sound, ideal for producers and fans of deep house, trance, tech house, and minimal techno.

DEEP MATTER also includes reamped hand drums, tuned drum sounds, and production-ready patterns. Layers of warm melodic chords mix with reverb and delay for creating effervescent grooves and hypnotic, trance-like tracks, while MASSIVE and MONARK sub-bass and drone presets and analog synth pads pack a powerful punch.

DEEP MATTER runs in the latest version of MASCHINE software on the entire MASCHINE hardware family, and is available exclusively at the NI Online Shop.

A compact version of DEEP MATTER is also available as an iMASCHINE 2 Expansion, for sketches on the go. Tracks can be exported to MASCHINE STUDIO, MASCHINE JAM, MASCHINE, and MASCHINE MIKRO for completion.

DEEP MATTER is available now at the NI Online Shop for $49 / 49 € / £44 / ¥ 6,280 / AU$ 79 and runs in the MASCHINE 2 software.

The iMASCHINE 2 expansion is available at the iMASCHINE 2 in-app store for $0.99 / 0,99 € / £0.79 / ¥ 120 / AU$ 1.29
