Notes: There are several types of cables used widely in pro audio - mic cables and patch cords with 2 or 3 conductors, instrument cables with 2 conductors, basic speaker cables with 2 conductors and MIDI cables comprised of DIN5 connectors using 2 conductors. The CableCOP features a full selection of standard pro audio connectors for testing all such cables. LEDs on the CableCOP link its various connector terminals and will only illuminate when the connected "cable" completes a circuit. As a result you are able to tell, at a glance, which cables need to be repaired. Sometimes the problem can be the cable itself. An LED may also fail to illuminate if a 3-conductor cable has been wired out-of-phase. As an example, if the Tip of one 1/4" TRS plug on a (balanced) patch cable were soldered to the same cable conductor as the Ring or Sleeve of the other 1/4" TRS plug.

Notes: Many of the best known classic funk songs employ a dual guitar approach: scratchy rhythms come from one speaker while slinky, single note riffs come from the other. Using a wide range of six-string interplay variations, 'Funky Rex Guitars' applies this approach to nearly all of its 40+ mini-song loop suites. With guitar tones ranging from single coil Strats to humbucking hollow bodies, most loops have been recorded clean, dry and non-effected and are both immediately useable and easily customized for placement into the mix.
As part of the 'BPM Flex Series', every loop in the collection can be used at virtually any tempo without artificial stretching or unwanted audio artifacts, making this one of the most flexible funk guitar libraries on the market. So whether you need a groove for inspiration, a lick to light up the dance floor or a riff to breathe life into any retro or modern track, 'Funky Rex Guitars: Interlocked Groove Edition' brings what you need.
The DVD contains 400 REX2 loops organized into 43 mini-song suites. Interlocking groove suites present an 'A' and 'B' loop group for easy identification of which loops are designed to play simultaneously. Using 'Funky Rex Guitars' within 'Stylus RMX' requires the user to drag-and-drop only one folder into RMX's included SAGE Converter. The DVD contains a Reason Refill and a separate folder with the REX2 files. This allows the loops to be used in any program that supports the REX2 format.
Guitar tones used: Danelectro U2, Fender Stratocaster, Fender Telecaster, Gibson ES-137 Classic, Gibson Les Paul and Gibson ES-335. Suggested tempos have been given to each suite, but as part of the BPM Flex Series every loop can be used at virtually any tempo while retaining their groove and in-the-pocket feel.

Notes: Zero G presents 'LA Drums' from 'The Soundsense Series'

Top LA session player, engineer and programmer Jeremy Janeczko who has toured with many top stars including Sheryl Crow, Cypress Hill, The Eagles, Alanis Morissette and Michael Jackson brings you this great collection of acoustic drumloops for use in all genres of music.

Working with diverse artists and jumping from country-rock to pop & back to hip-hop has allowed JJ to create loops from different genres that will also work together to create more interesting and eclectic rhythm tracks for use in today's often demanding recording sessions.

Jeremy 'JJ' Janeczko began on the live circuit in the early nineties. From drum-tech to programmer to performer on multiple world tours. Since joining the production staff and becoming studio manager of The Eagles' studio 'The Dog House' in Los Angeles in 1998 his engineering credits have included: Stevie Nicks' 'Trouble in Shangri-La', Queen's 'A Night At The Opera' (DVD surround), Alanis Morissette's 'Under Rug Swept' and 'So Called Chaos', The Eagles' 'Selective works 1972-1999', 'The Eagles Box Set Limited Edition' as well as their latest album 'Long Road Out Of Eden'.

JJ writes: 'I have always loved everything about the drums specifically what type they are, how they are tuned and how the sound of a room reacts to them and microphone technique. 'As a collector of all types of percussion instruments and drum machines I am able to play, record and include a lot of these instruments within the library. After becoming an avid Propellerheads 'Reason' software user, I quickly realized that there was not a lot of 'song-writer friendly' acoustic drum loop libraries out there. So I began recording one for myself and friends. It's live and natural, but can be changed to suit each user's tastes. I hope you find it as fun to use as it was to create'

Welcome to 'Ambiosis'.

Highly acclaimed electronic musician and samplist Ian Boddy brings you a fantastic array of atmospherics and soundscapes at a bargain price. These sounds can be used in virtually any music style where a little dash of sonic spice is needed.
'Ambiosis' is particularly useful for ambient, dance, film soundtrack and trance composers where the sounds can often provide the creative impetus for a new track or to add the finishing touches to an existing composition. 'Ambiosis' serves as a fine electronic music resource for producers who need to apply texture, mood, and ambience across a wide variety of genres.

Categories include:

- Analogue
- Atmospheres
- Dark
- Light
- Spacey
- Vintage
- Weird.

Ian Boddy is one of the UK's most celebrated synthesists, and a veteran of the European electronic music scene since the late 1970s and has been creating sample libraries for Zero G since 1992.

Ian writes: 'In those early days it was sufficient to release a 650Mb CD full of audio only tracks and let the end user sample map & loop the material. Over the intervening years such libraries evolved through CD-ROMs in sampler-ready formats through to full blown virtual instruments with synthesiser-like front ends. The advantages of the latter are many but the instruments tend to be expensive, the samples are tied to their own interface and they seem to consume ever increasing amounts of hard disc real estate. With this in mind it was refreshing for me when Zero-G asked me to create the material for Ambiosis. I was able to use some of the cutting edge techniques I had employed on my recent virtual instruments 'Morphology' & 'Outer Limits' but in a nice simple, inexpensive format that would hopefully bring the availability of these sounds to a much wider audience. Once again I was able to make extensive use of my lovely old analogue equipment, VCS-3, Minimoog, Roland & Moog modular systems but in conjunction with modern day digital manipulations from the likes of Metasynth, Reaktor, Pluggo, SFX Machine, Audioease, Camel Audio etc., to create a library with a unique sound palette.'

'Ambiosis is great value and would be worth adding to the collection of an budding media composer' - Sound on Sound

'If you seek to conjure cinematic, ambient soundscapes for adding a certain zest to your sound palette, it would be difficult to top this.' - Computer Music

Notes: Panoramic journey into a fantastic world of sound

Welcome to Zero G's 'Degrees of Abstract', 2Gb of sounds which take you on an unprecedented, panoramic journey into a fantastic world of sound. Get ready to enter a whole new soundscape of weirdness, innovation and mind-opening inspiration.

Some elements you discover on the way may sound familiar; this is because Zero G have taken inspiration from many genres and styles and tried to give them an experimental twist. If you like the music released by labels such as Warp Recordings, Planet Mu and Ninja Tune etc, we think you are going to love this sample library. We have aimed to keep the content experimental and cutting-edge and perhaps a little weird, but at the same time fully usable and adaptive to all styles of music. If you are a producer for auditory or visual media you will find plenty of material ideal for radio, television and film scores.

We think you will find the content very varied indeed - manic beats, chilled out pads, disturbing SFX, serene vocals, futuristic synths, gentle guitars and a whole lot more! This library is your first-class ticket to great sounds - which doesn't by any means promise a comfortable, safe or banal journey; but what you can expect is an exhilarating and erratic tour of the world of abstract.

It weighs less than a pound, will easily fit into a laptop case, backpack, or messenger bag, and gives you great-feeling pads and simple parameter controls so you can make music wherever you are.

Music was never meant to be created with a mouse and computer keyboard. With LPD8, you're no longer limited to making music in a stiff, non-musical way. Pound out new beats on LPD8's drum pads. Add and tweak effects using LPD8's Q-Link knobs. LPD8 provides a satisfying production experience that travels with you.

Send note information, MIDI CCs, or program changes from the pads to your software, and assign each of the eight Q-Link knobs to control any parameter.

Be ready to answer. LPD8 has four memory banks, so you can set it up to work with each of your favourite software programs instantly. Plus, it's class-compliant and USB-powered, so there are no drivers to install and there's no power adapter required. Just put LPD8 in your computer bag and be ready to make music.
