Ueberschall has announced the release of C.R.U.N.K. Southern Storm, a new Elastik Player-based virtual instrument that includes 24 Construction Kits providing 3.4 GB of full-range Crunk & Dirty-South action. Each of the 24 Construction Kits delivers a well composed and professionally produced track (including a main part, variation, intro/outro). With a range of 58 BPM to 127 BPM, you'll find unique tracks, which have their own tension, feeling and style.
C.R.U.N.K. offers a massive variety of style-accurate drum loops, synth patterns, voices, bass lines, chord progressions, atmospheres, percussion and fx sounds, which can be bonded to one another. BPM information and root key (key signatures) are embedded in all loop file names, streamlining the selection process.
Each complete kit contains up to 3 sub-kits and a drum single-sound folder. Material is organized as follows:
- Main Kit - Includes the main theme, with its sounds and phrases.
- Variation Kit A - Provides an alternative track and phrases which is used to add contrast to the main theme and gives you more flexibility for your entire track.
- Intro/Outro Kit - Here you can find the matching intro/outro track for the overall kit, along with its individual parts.
- Single Drum Sound - The single-shots are centralized in this folder, making it easy to create your own additional drum patterns.
The given structure and features like labeled key signature and tempo information provide a very easy way of arranging a whole song including all the parts you need to make the perfect urban track. Additionally the Elastik Player offers you a lot of DSP functions to adjust the phrases to further fit your productions / creations.
