Fixed Noise has announced the release of Rhythm Objekt, a new Kontakt Player-powered sample library that is described as "a unique blend of sultry electro and urban in a 4 GB sound library package". All of the sound design was created by NYC/Detroit artist Jimmy Edgar - a trendsetter of this hybrid style.

Fixed Noise says that these sounds are ideal for "producers looking to add electronic flavor to their tracks and electronic artists who believe computers have a soul. Rhythm Objekt is flexible and includes a plethora of drum kits, synths, organs, loops and spectral lust".

Each instrument comes with alterable effects specifically chosen for the instrument and envelope modifiers.

Instrument Categories:

• Chords: What would Electro-R&B be without some minor chords? Chords of all kinds are featured in these instruments. Drum Kits - Individual hits of drums kits that are traditional and non-traditional electro, R&B and Urban.
• Experimental: The stranger, although still very useful, side of the library. These instruments feature everything from moans to scripted-random sequences.
• Loops: Get the style down quickly with these loop instruments.
• Melodic: The single note instruments. Bass and pads are also included in this category.
