Loops
Real Music Media loops are available in Rex2 and 24bit/48khz Acidized wave formats.
Drum Sounds of the 60's
These loops are a reflection of a musical apprenticeship spent adulating and emulating
the great American drummers who defined and perfected Funk and Soul, and the great British drummers who
created the sound of classic Heavy Rock. The drums used (Ludwig) and the drummer (John Gump) were both made in the
late Sixties, and were recorded on 5 tracks to magnetic tape using the Glyn Johns drum miking method that is featured on so many recordings of the era.

Swing Jazz Drums
This package forms our largest single collection of drum loops (over 420). Recorded using a minimal setup to capture the intimate but roomy
sound of pioneering engineers like Tom Dowd; using vintage Slingerland drums, with traditional reinforcement rings and
completely unmuffled heads; accented by vintage old world Zildian cymbals featuring an exquisite sizzle ride;
and performed by a man who as a child was not given dinner unless his instructors were satisfied with has ability to swing each lesson
properly, these loops are a must have.

Synthetic Vortices
These loops are the work of sound designer/Ambient musician Brent Reiland. Using only an Ensoniq Fizmo,
a Great River preamp, and years of know-how, Brent crafted some of his most original, cutting edge sounds to date. These
performances were then painstakingly edited to form seamless atmospheric loops. These loops are not forced into a grid,
but are instead cut to various lengths to match the ebb and flow of the evolving soundscapes. This is why these loops are available only in
wav and sfz formats. The sfz mappings have the added benefit of having amplifier eg controls,
and high and low pass resonant filters with their own LFOs, all controllable via midi CC numbers.

Ritornelli
Ritornelli is the series name for our exclusive library of classical guitar loops. These loops
feature performances that are passionate as well as perfectionist, in a wide array of feels,
tempi, and tonalities. These loops are both unique and uniquely well made, being recorded
with state of the art microphones through some really nice preamps and converters into delicate
little morsels of old world atmosphere.
Real Music Media is
proud to present the Real Snare Drum: a vintage 1972 Slingerland Sound King snare drum carefully
sampled and mapped in an innovative and playable configuration.
Each microphone has its own virtual channel, controlled by its own assigned midi CC#. The drum is sampled in 4 zones:
center, 3 inch radius, 6 inch radius, and rim shot. Each zone has separate left and right hand samples mapped in an
obvious and intuitive way, and there is round robin and velocity switching within each zone. The instrument also has
decay, sustain and release controls each assigned to their own CC#.
Real Music Media is
proud to make available these classic free samples of a restored Mellotron M400S.
All three octaves of both the Mk II 3 Violins
and the Mk II Combined Brass are here presented exactly as they were when they were first made available,
in one convenient archive. We have also added sfz mappings with simple eg controls. Don't miss out on this classic piece of free soundware.
