The second sample library by Ian Boddy in the Zero-G SoundSense series, Elektroytic, brings this programmer’s imaginative and unusual sound design skills into the realms of beats and loops. Users will find that rhythms found in Elektroytic are not typical rhythms, but rather are beats that have been twisted and mangled using a huge arsenal of cutting-edge digital techniques. These techniques include beat-synced filtering, phasing and flanging as well as lo-fi treatments such as extreme distortion and bit crushing. Further exotic manglings such as spectral analysis, granular resynthesis and textural morphing are also included. The collection’s “drum” loops are available at 100, 120 and 140 BPM and are separated into four categories: Drum, FX, Lo-Fi/Glitch and Percussion. Elektroytic also offers 250 hits and one-shot samples in three separate categories: Ambient One Shots, FX Hits and Percussives. For maximum programming flexibility in users’ compositions, all 250 loops are provided in Rex2 format. The collection is also available in Acidâ„¢WAV, AIFF Apple Loops, Stylus RMXâ„¢ formats. Elektroytic retails for $59.95.
