Any alternatives to Spectrasonics Stylus RMX in terms of sound library? Not looking for a software/engine, but similar sounding drum loops/grooves.

If anyone has an unused kilohearts $39 voucher which is going to expire tomorrow, could you send it my way? Thanks in advance!

Do kilohearts send vouchers regularly like PA? ...I did get it once in the past...n later no more...hmmm

Not nearly as regularly. I remember lots of people getting vouchers in the beginning of the year, but I didn't get one then. I think it's been a long time since I got last one before the one this month. Maybe I had 3 in total...

Nectar Elements free if you don’t mind giving your email to an unknown Japanese site.

They just email you a redemption/serial code that you then add to your izotope account. A junk account would work fine if you had any concerns, no creating accounts or validation etc.

That's how I did it.

Thanks for the heads up. Didn't understand a word on that site, but, whatever.

I've only received vouchers a few times too. This last time in the email that contained the voucher, it mentioned it was because of my recent purchase. Based on that, I would expect the ones that were sent out in April were sent to those that had purchased something recently.

I think the last time i purchased something was the upgrade to ultimate about a year ago. But my email still reads “thank you for your recent purchase”. I really don’t know what their system is or if there is one.

To answer my own question, Zero-G Total REX, World Pack and Pro Pack for Garageband have similar sounding grooves and I already own these, so probably good to skip Stylus RMX Expanded even though it is a great software with an excellent (but dated) library.

I have World pack - never really considered it similar to RMX. If you actually like the loops of RMX, I think it's a great choice. I personally think it's awfully dated by now. The only things I use from it are shakers, rides and the occasional bongo/congas groove.
For a variety of rhythms I'd recommend XLN XO. It's super easy to change kits on the fly, and there's a tons of more sound design options than RMX has, but it doesn't have hundreds of crunchy Amen like loops that RMX does. So if that's what you're looking for, RMX is a great choice.

Yeah, I meant those packs are a little similar to the type of grooves in Stylus RMX. Total REX is probably the closest between the 3 packs I mentioned.

Yes, I do love the sound of loops/breakbeats included with Stylus RMX. Considering it is almost 20 years old, it is indeed quite dated, which is my main concern along with non-scalable GUI. Guess it might not be comfortable on a 2K screen and I will be wanting to enlarge the GUI.

I do have XO by the way. It is surely great for creating custom kits and the sample browsing capability (Space) is second to none.

The included 5 Expanders with Stylus RMX make it a bit more tempting, but $400 is way too much. I wish it was cheaper. Can't have enough drum samples/loops!

Check the index of the magazine or register the issue at File Silo to get the details. I've also read on the forum that the File Silo website is not loading for some.
