East West Percussive Adventures 2 LE

Percussive Adventures 2 LE description:

THE LEGEND
Percussive Adventures 1 was a huge success - and a Keyboard magazine KEY BUY AWARD winner! This is the original go-to-must-have library of extended performances used by countless big name film and TV composers not to mention remixers and electronica maniacs and is legendary in the scoring world. Now the PERCUSSIVE ADVENTURES 2 LE expands the borders of the original in depth, detail and creativity.

DRIVING FORCE
Created, performed and produced by the overactive minds and hands of KURT WORTMAN and TONY HUMECKE, well recognized for their unique sensibilities as drummers, percussionists and composers, and the major force behind Percussive Adventures 1.

WORLDS COLLIDE
PA2 where worlds collide. Kurt and Tony have a passion for bending and blending organic and twisted electronic sound sources into new streams of kinetic energy. Their combined experience and talent for scoring is what makes their compositional gems stand apart from all the rest.

VERSATILITY
PA2 stands in a class of its own. The versatility of PA2 is multiplied tenfold from its predecessor by it's meticulous and much deeper use of construction layers. Staying true to the entire piece you'll find all the bits and pieces to design your own unique composition any way you want it. And when you breed one piece with another you will discover the true versatility of this collection.

ANY TEMPO
Sync to your host sequencer at ANY TEMPO YOU WANT. Tempo is no longer that annoying problem with the BEATMACHINE and TIMEMACHINE functions dialed in for each layer you can go where you want fast.

THE BIG SECRET
Unlike any other products out today, PA2 goes further with lengthy and evolving rhythmic terrains. All edited into loop segments, alternate mixes and completely isolated layers.

WHAT YOU GET
They stand on their own. These pieces are complete in their own right. Included in this 'limited edition' is the full length all-in mix of the complete performance and all loop segments of that full mix version so you can contract, expand, double and juggle to fit your needs.

NO SAMPLER REQUIRED!
PERCUSSIVE ADVENTURES 2 includes a stunning new state-of-the-art plug-in audio engine/interface from NATIVE INSTRUMENTS which is specifically designed for rhythmic loop playback, manipulation, and mayhem.

The convenient one-screen interface is based on (and provides all the sound manipulation tools of) NIs new INTAKT sampler, and features tremendous sound shaping abilities without disrupting the creative flow, including a first-class multimode filter, an envelope follower, two LFOs, effects, and more. The loops have been set up so that they can be automatically synced to tempo, either via the Beat Machine or the Time Machine. The Beat Machine has loops divided into their individual hits (slices) which means they can be played at a wide range of tempos without any change in pitch. It also allows the user to give each hit individual settings for pitch, playback direction, pitch envelope, amp envelope, distortion, delay, and more; a MIDI file of each loop can be easily exported so that groove, accent, and feel can be manipulated in any host sequencer. The Time Machine time-stretches or compresses loops in real time. Not only can you sync, stretch, and pitch the loops, but also filter, effect and modulate them as well! A powerful sound-shaping filter, flexible envelopes, syncable LFOs, and distortion, syncable delay, and lo-fi effects can inject even more energy and individuality into the loops. Since the software interface is based on the KONTAKT engine, working with it is fast, easy, and it sounds great.
