Some years ago, an old friend of mine – Dan McCullough (not to be confused with Dan, Dan, the Novachord man) – sent me some samples from a brightly coloured, 8-voice analogue polysynth, made in Japan and named after a planet (sorry to be vague but although it’s perfectly kosher to sample an analogue synth, one has to be be very careful with regard to manufacturer and products names – I am sure you get the gist though!).

It’s something of a ‘one trick pony’ in a way but there are mighty sounds to be had that are wide and expansive, capable of big and lush strings, smooth ‘Last Temptation Of Christ’ Peter Gabriel style Prophet 5 (through his Boss CE1 chorus) pads and drones, spacey Tomita sweeps and, with everything wide open, big, anthemic techno stabs, hits, pads and leadlines.

TEAM MAGNETRiXX | 14 October 2013 | 53.2 MB

Introducing Claps & Stacks, our ‘go to’ library for high-quality claps and layered stacks! Claps & Stacks offers a diverse collection of layered claps, synthetic snaps, processed machine claps, filthy lo-fi sounds, dusty noise hits, layered snare/clap ensembles and much more… Each and every sound has been built from the ground up by creatively blending multiple electronic and acoustic sound sources which have been further shaped to perfection using an array of high end outboard processers. Claps & Stacks serves up 562 cutting edge clap and percussive sounds, specifically designed to work ‘straight out of the box’ and mix perfectly with drum tracks in any modern genre. To add additional character, we have taken all of the processed sounds and cut them to a 12” acetate dubplate. This has been done to take advantage of the physical properties of Acetate which wears out after multiple plays.
