TeamDNR has announced the release of version 1.0r4 of MixControl, including the first Windows x64 and Mac OS X VST3 versions, and Cinematic Loops, a new multi-format Percussion Library.

Changes and additions in MixControl v1.0 r4 include:

• Mac OSX VST3 version.
• Win x64 version.
• New skins included.
• [FIX] Compressor SC Tooltip was overlapping.
• [FIX] EQ value text was displaying purple.
• [FIX] A/B function was not copying stereo tool.
• [FIX] Drop down menu was breaking up with long names.

Cinematic Loops is a collaboration between TeamDNR and Sleepless Soundworks. It offers "innovative, evocative, cinematic grooves" (Styles) in 24bit/48kHz, with tempos ranging from 65 to 136 BPM. Formats are Wave, Apple Loops, Rex2 and exs24 (the latter with Midifiles).

Each Style is offered in full version, a NoKick version (the whole groove minus the bass drum), and in Construction Kits: each element/beat of each groove is provided as a separate element, so you can combine and re-combine any of them to produce new grooves, thanks to the Apple Loops and/or Rex formats. Of course, there are also special loops (with the suffix "b") for reverb tails, echo tails, etc. in order to be sure that each sound is seamlessly looped.

The exs24 version allows you to go way deeper in groove deconstruction as each loop is sliced by its smallest rhythmic division, then chromatically mapped across the MIDI keyboard, and provided with its corresponding Midifile.

Cinematic Loops costs $69.
