Beatalogue is the fourth title in Ian Boddy's Waveforms series of sample libraries. As a follow up to Drumalogue this one takes as it's starting material a selection of electronic drum patterns and loops which are then fed through Boddy's massive modular synth system. These are then filtered, mangled and generally messed up using a huge number of modules all in the analogue domain. All the loops have between 3 and 5 variations and sonically range from sweet filtering all the way through to completely crunched and twisted mayhem. The quality of the distortion and overdrive achieved using these techniques gives the loops a gorgeous organic feel which is further heightened by the sound of the modular itself with it's fuzzy warmness and tripping envelopes.
The sounds are also provided in Rex2 and Apple Loops format enabling them to be used at various tempos and dissected by the end user for their own purposes.
Technical Data:300 mono samples at 44.1Khz, 24 bit in WAV format.
All samples also provided in Rex2 & Apple Loops format.

The producer and multi-instrumentalist Davor Devcic aka D3 writes:

"This time I've been focused on sound and diversity. I have attempted to bring you a whole spectrum of dance music history from circa 1977 to 1989. I analysed original recordings from that great era and tried to emulate the analog warmth, the space and the dynamics of those vinyl records. Of course, without any trace of today's loudness-madness!
And finally, the diversity. On this library you'll find creamy Shakatak and George Benson jazzy funk, early Bobby Brown or Freddie Jackson 80's swing, Jimmy Jam-Terry Lewis electro-soul, "around-1981" disco rare grooves, Italo-Jaques Petrus lightness and, of course, classic Philly Disco, Salsoul and the famous Chic sound. There are lots of individual loops which are great to start your own funky disco journey.
I hope that you enjoy it as much as i did making it"

Vocaloid 1 voices LEON, LOLA & MIRIAM now available by DOWNLOAD, with PRICES REDUCED to only $79.99 each (previously $199.95 each):
VOCALOID LEON

VOCALOID LOLA

VOCALOID MIRIAM

Special download price: only

$79.99 each


(previously only available on CD-ROM at $199.95 each)
LEON, LOLA and MIRIAM are VIRTUAL VOCALISTS for PC (Windows), powered by Yamaha's VOCALOID 1 Singing Synthesis Technology. VOCALOID is a unique kind of instrument that uses the natural tone and articulation of a real human voice as its source, allowing the user to synthesize incredible vocals.

Leon, Lola and Miriam are now available by download for the first time.


Creating your own backing vocals is a realistic proposition - even for complex harmonies and arrangements, and Vocaloid's range of expression tools allow editing and manipulation of the finest nuances. With skill and application you can create unprecedented vocal realism. Or... you can live in the exciting world between human and machine, where Vocaloid can even provide vocals that sound like they were performed by a superhuman virtuoso. Using Vocaloid in this way, as a true hybrid of human voice and synthesizer, the potential for innovation is limited only by your own imagination. Do you simply want Vocaloid to perform your lyrical ideas in a rough form as an aid to your songwriting process? Or will you use its freedom from human limitations to create stunningly innovative and experimental vocal effects?

"Vocaloid is clearly going to be big in the music business. The start of something huge in modern music. Fascinating software which delivers everything it promises!" (MUSIC TECH Magazine, UK, rated 9/10 and MUSIC TECH RECOMMENDED Award).

"Vocaloid would certainly be useful, particularly for backing vocals" (SOUND ON SOUND, UK).

Click HERE for much more detail on these 3 titles, or to purchase them through our Download Shop.

NOTE: Vocaloid is for PC Windows (not Apple Mac compatible). LEON, LOLA and MIRIAM use the earlier Vocaloid 1 engine. Since its first release, the VOCALOID 1 (Version 1) software has been greatly improved: Yamaha provided many enhanced features and improvements in a software update (Version 1.1.2) which is INCLUDED with these downloads.

Recommended System: Windows XP, Pentium 4, 1.7 GHz or faster, 1 GB of RAM or more.
