The Berlin Wall came down 20 years ago today – which is pretty amazing – or ancient history if you're not a Gen X'er or older.

The fall of the Berlin Wall led to profound political changes, but also profound cultural changes, especially in the world of music.

Ueberschall – the samplemeisters of Germany – has put together a new sample library that tries to distill down the influential electronic sounds of the city – Sounds Of Berlin.

Description:

With the release Sounds of Berlin Ueberschall covers the different sub-genres of minimal sound — from 120 BPM Afterhour-House to 130 BPM Dancefloor-Techno — and is oriented around labels and themes such as "Kompakt", "Mobilee", "Vakant", "Boxer" and "Cocoon". The 1 GB content is built for professional club sound needs. 1258 Loops & Samples provide enough material to be invited to countless sessions and hours of inspiration and creativity.

Each of the 75 construction kits is broken down into its single lines, each kit offers bass loops, synth loops and drum and percussion loops which can be integrated easily into every live set, thanks to Elastik. For your own groove creation you can use the single drumsounds which provide the low-end treatment and high frequency sizzle for the right punch in every club. All material is preprogrammed and ready to roll out thanks to the bundled Elastik interface. Elastik has many features which complement the electro genre nicely: filters per note, hi quality transposition, granulation effects, volume settings per note and easy mixing with additional Elastik libraries.

Specs:

• 1 GB, 75 Construction Kits, 1258 Berlin Loops and Samples
• Elastik Soundbank for Mac/PC/AU/VST/RTAS/StandAlone
• Elastik Player included – no sampler required

Sounds of Berlin retails for 99 Euro.

Ian Boddy has introduced Beatalogue, the fourth title in Boddy´s Waveforms series of sample libraries.

Description:

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.

* 300 mono samples at 44.1Khz, 24 bit in WAV format.
* All samples also provided in Rex2 & Apple Loops format.
* Drum loops sourced from Logic Ultrabeat, NI Reaktor & Kontakt, Sonic Charge Micro Tonic.

Beatalogue retails for £ 24.99, inc Vat.
Drum Loops filtered, mangled & messed up via the following analogue synthesisers:

* Roland System 100-M
* Analogue Systems
* Doepfer A-100 modular system
* Livewire AFG, Vulcan & Dalek Modulators
* Metasonix TM-2 Tube BP filter & R-53 Tube Waveshaper/Ring Mod
* Flight of Harmony Plague Bearer
* The Harvestman Malgorithm
* WMD Geiger Counter
* Make Noise QMMG

Recorded & produced by Ian Boddy.
