Supreme Styles

Supreme Styles is an Elastik Player-based library of urban music with the focus on guitars. The library deals with a wide range of styles such as HipHop, R&B, Club and Dancehall, as well as other surrounding genres.

Each of the 30 Construction Kits delivers a well composed track (including a main part, variation, intro/outro), which consist, besides its instrument and drum and percussion loops, of several guitar loops. With a range of 58 BPM to 127 BPM, you'll find unique tracks, which have their own tension, feeling and style.

Content
The 4 GB package includes more than 1600 loops and samples of recorded instruments. Since the main focus of this library was guitars, there is a large range of acoustic and amped guitars, such as rock guitars with and without distortion, flamenco guitars, classical nylon guitars, also guitars with wah-wah effect and much more. A flood of guitar phrase choices are available from short licks, up to catchy melodies, riffs and chords. All guitar loops were created with top brands such as Fender, Gibson, Music Man, PRS, Sandberg, Martin, Washburn and Takamine, to name a few. Amps used include Marshall, Vox, Mesa Boogie, Hiwatt, Engl, Orange, Line 6 and others. Additional DSP processing, stomp pedals, along with outboard processing were also applied.

Beside the guitars, all the essential sounds needed for urban music are available, including: bass drums, snares, claps, hihats, shaker, a great amount of percussion, as well as heavy bass-lines, synthesizer sounds, pads, strings, organs, acoustic pianos, e-pianos and more.
