SAMPLE PACKS

"I think the whole SOR series are a grail of good stuff actually useful to find their way in real records. Even if I don´t really use loops, the way the loops are produced in this series makes it easy to chop and cut them up into easy-to-isolate one-shot samples. I chopped up big parts from Minimal Tech Revolution and Kick Free Revolution. Takes time, but its really worth it. No resampled samples from other sampled stuff that took their samples also from other tracks/samples. No overused dynamics or effects and stuff, so you can easily tweak them to your own style. Thats what the most important for me and the biggest failure and mistake of nearly all other sample libraries. The amount of useful one shot samples that I got out of this series is massive. And I absolutely love the experimental section."


about:

Lützenkirchen is one name that refuse to go away. Munich’s foremost electro-techno exponent has moved effortlessly between underground and overground success in recent years – scoring a German Top 10 chart hit with the huge 3 Tage Wach while putting out a prolific, consistent stream of cool and credible club tracks, all a decade after he first began producing.

From his huge remixes for the likes of John Digweed and Coburn to his outstanding 2008 artist album Pandora Electronica, the power and quality of his productions rarely slip. Meanwhile his acclaimed live sets continue to grow in reputation, his charismatic stage presence bringing a breath of fresh air to the usual limp and lifeless laptop workout.

The last two years have seen him play in every continent at least twice, with 8 tours of Brazil in the past 3 years alone. Despite this heavy travel schedule, he remains one of the most prolific producers around – with a level of quality that few can match.He’s not about hype, trends, fads or jumping on bandwagons – Lützenkirchen lets his music speak for itself. And 10 years on, it’s still telling quite a story…

[...] Es ist sehr gut kategorisiert und die einzelnen Files enthalten neben der Kategorie die Angabe der Tonart (wo nötig) und des Tempos.

Die Sounds sind, wie ich ehrlich gesagt erwartet hatte, zum Teil herrlich erfrischend. So stellt uns Oliver z. B. bei den “Proc Live Rec” Sounds wieder mal vor die Frage: “Was zum Teufel hat er da nur aufgenommen und verfremdet?”. Aber auch der Loop-Liebhaber kommt auf seine Kosten. Die Drumkits sind in Construction Kits vorhanden, welche sich bis hin zur Variante mit Kick steigern. [...]

Das gefällt mir:

In diesem Fall wirklich die schiere Masse an guten, knackigen Sounds und der als günstig zu bezeichnende Preis. Die Qualität hat dabei nicht gelitten und Oliver Schmitt liefert hier sowohl Quantität als auch Qualität ab. Es wurde nicht unnötig geloopt und alle Samples wurden wie immer exklusiv produziert. Die Kategorisierung ist auch gut gelungen. Hier findet man genügend Material für die nächsten Tracks. Alles in allem eine wirklich umfassende und hervorragende Auswahl ohne Ausreißer! Und wenn man Minimal wörtlich nimmt (so wie es ursprünglich auch gemeint war), dann reichen die 2.168 Files für jede Menge frischer Tracks!

Minimal Techno Revolution comprises a huge library of one-shots and loops, totalling over 2000 samples. Each folder is meticulously filed, with subfolders making it easy to find the sound you need. Every sound is upfront, tight and powerful, and what’s more, it’s easy to get inspired and start working on ideas right away. One of the best things about the included loops is how they don’t try and take over a project – they’re EQ’ed to sit tightly without intruding. The kicks are fantastic, offering weight and power. If you can’t find something you like in this package, you’re in the wrong business.
