Prime Loops Announce United States of Dance

Prime Loops has released United States of Dance, a collection of professional dance loops and samples- synth leads, drum loops, effects and one shot drum sounds.

From the House foundations laid by Frankie Knuckles to the ground-breaking success of Lady Gaga, “United States of Dance” explores every corner of the vast Dance genre, driven by Deadmau5 inspired heavy bass deviations, counter-balanced by the euphoric elevation of LMFAO and 3OH!3 and united by an epic array of party propelling percussive combinations. Keep your eyes on the prize and conquer the charts with the ultimate accessory for your productions!

“United States of Dance“ features 6 folders of electro dance samples, in stunning 24-bit fidelity, packed into over 230MB of all-American muscle! The “Bouncin’ Basslines” folder will set your sneakers skanking with ultra-modern bass frequencies, whilst “United Synth Hooks” offers a selection of riffs that guarantee to incite a raucous reaction. Mix it up with the spicy “Striped FX & Vox” folder and set a smoking rhythm with “Star-Spangled Instrumentals”! The cherry on the top of this sonic cake is an abundance of block rocking beats, available across two separate folders of mixed and solo drum loops.

United States of Dance is available for £13.46, the price is 25% off. Visit Prime Loops for more info and a demo pack.

223 Jen SX1000 Samples and Loops

MusicRadar has released a free collection containing sounds created with Jen SX1000 monosynth, a vintage '70s synth. These samples originally appeared on Computer Music magazine's cover DVD.

SampleRadar is taking the slightly unusual step of featuring just one instrument this week. All the sounds in this collection were created using the Jen SX1000 monosynth, which was on the market in the late '70s and early '80s.

There's still plenty of variety, though, and many of the samples have been processed to give them extra potency.

All samples are in 24Bit WAV format and are royalty free.

Temperature VST

RobotPlanet has released Temperature VST, a 'super simple equalizer' effect plugin for Windows.

Looking for a 3 dB/oct filter? Or even a 1 dB/oct filter? Look no further! This VST is like the old "tone control" seen on many 70s and 80s tape recorders, but one that tilts the entire frequency spectrum in a very precise and linear fashion.

A value of -10 dB will turn white noise into pink noise, and -20 will give you something that is very close to a RIAA curve. Positive numbers will increase the highs and attenuate the lows. It also comes with an optional DC remover, a 6dB/oct highpass filter that goes from 10 to 1000 Hz. The plug-in has been tested at 44100 and 96000 Hz samplerate, but should work at other rates as well.

Temperature VST is available as freeware on Robot Planet.

Rough Rider VST

Audio Damage has released an updated version of Rough Rider, a free compressor effect plugin for Windows and Mac.

Rough Rider is a modern compressor with a bit of "vintage" style bite and a uniquely warm sound. Perfect for adding compression effects to your drum buss, it also sounds great with synth bass, clean guitar, and backing vocals. Definitely not an all-purpose compressor, Rough Rider is at its best when used to add pump to rhythmic tracks. Of course, you can use it however you'd like. The Compressor Police aren't gonna come to your house and give you a citation. Slap it on a track and crank some knobs.
