Hallucinogenic song structures, energy-floating instrumentals and mind-expanding effects take you on a trip back into the 60s. 60s Psychedelic Rock provides the ultimate in time travel back in to the glorious age of the psychedelic sixties. This is one epoch collection of revolutionized recordings and an overdose of technique all in a short trip. „60s psychedelic Rock“ takes you back to this state of consciousness. Analogue signal-flows and tape-compressions create the precise, authentic sound and illuminate acoustic illusions while a kaleidoscope of instruments brings all tone colors to glow in unheard colors.
Content
The construction kits were all live record with the typical band setup. Therefore all samples are flexible to use in many different projects. Only authentic effects of this time were used. Phaser, Wah Wah, Distortion, Tape Echo and Spring Reverbs create the unforgettable sound carpet of most of the productions. Apart from instruments such as bass, guitars and drums this production also keeps a harmonic connection to spiritual sounds from sitar, hammond and piano.
Each kit is seperated into three or four different folders: - Intro & Outro: Here you can find the matching intro/outro track for the overall kit, along with its individual parts. - A-Part: Includes the main theme, with its sounds and phrases. - B-Part: Provides an alternative track and phrases which gives you more flexibility for your entire track. - C-Part: Provides a second variation of the theme for even more flexible use.
The drums were seperately recorded and offer each part as single track: bass drum, snare drum top, snare drum bottom, hi-hat, ride, crash, toms and stereo overhead. Due to the overlapping of each line you can generate authentic and many different soundmixes.

Schnell und entspannt - dass das kein Widerspruch sein muss, zeigen die relaxten, coolen Grooves von Drum & Bass Lounge. In der großen Bandbreite von Drum & Bass gibt es von Underground bis jazzig viel Platz für die unterschiedlichsten Styles.
Drum & Bass Lounge widmet sich melodiösen, organischen D&B-Grooves und verbindet in einem einzigartigen Spannungsbogen tanzbare Beats mit chilligen Vibes.
Drum & Bass Lounge
Druckvolle Sounds, runde Bässe fließende Rhythmen, entspannte Backings und eingängige Instrumenten-Licks ergeben zündende Tracks mit cooler Atmosphäre, ganz ohne die Hektik und Aggressivität, die sonst oft bei Drum & Bass anzutreffen ist.
Content
Drum & Bass Lounge bietet zehn perfekt aufbereitete Construction Kits mit insgesamt 522 Loops. Neben einem Komplettmix des jeweiligen Grooves sind auch professionell abgemischte Backing- und Drum-Mixes vorhanden, die sich z. B. im DJ-Setup am Laptop einsetzen lassen. Für die Produktion eigener Tracks gibt es natürlich Single-Loops von allen Instrumenten und Drumspuren. So lassen sich Loops in den Construction Kits frei untereinander tauschen, mit Loops und Phrasen anderer Librarys ergänzen und alles nach eigenen Wünschen abmischen.
Bei jedem Construction Kit sind ein bis vier Unterordner vorhanden, die neben dem Hauptthema weitere Varianten des Grooves bieten. Zu den Drums gehören Kicks, Snares, Hihat, Claps, Cymbals und Percussions. Bei den abwechslungsreichen Instrumenten-Licks kamen vielfältige Synthesizer, Synth-Bässe, Orgel-Riffs, Flächen, E-Pianos, Streicher und rhythmische Effektklänge zum Einsatz.
Drum & Bass Lounge ist nicht nur für Drum & Bass-Tracks geeignet, sondern kann auch unkompliziert mit Breakbeat, NuJazz, Club-Pop und anderen Styles kombiniert werden. Ebenso lassen sich die Kits der Library auch für trendige Jingles, Vertonung von TV-Spots und Dance-Games einsetzen.
The wild, wild seventies - experiments in all areas and of course in music! This decade has stretched the borders of technology and expanded the sounds and styles in a wide range. It is not without a cause, this decade has been sampled most by producers and DJs. Rare Grooves exactly offers this feeling but on a legal base.
Rare Grooves brings the time and the feel of magnetic tape recordings into your DAW. Due to financial and technical limits of smaller studios of that era, sound experiments were a crucial part when finding one‘s personal sound. Among the favored stylistic devices were tape saturation up to the VU-meter‘s limits, lurching tape-delays, unusual reverbs, amplifier feedback an of course a good portion of overdrive - real garage sound. Rare Grooves focuses on the early era of Funk where groovy soul-beats and energy-charged rock-elements still had an impact on this genre. This makes this library the perfect choice for hip-hop, breakbeat, crossover- and dance-tracks; be it for music production, mix tapes, soundtracks or advertisements.
Rare Grooves consists of 10 construction kits with a total of 734 loops. The kits cover a tempo range from 78 to 122 BPM. Kits 1 to 9 include intro, parts A and B, break and outro. Construction kit 10 contains 9 tracks of different classic breaks designed to be used in all other kits. All instruments are available on single tracks with that appropriate raw sound, allowing you to use grooves as a whole or integrate single instruments into your own tracks. The drum sets are categorized into bass drum, snare drum top, snare drum bottom, hihat, ride, crash, toms, tambourine and overheads. We also added complete mixdowns of the beats which are useful for fast work as well as for perfect reproduction of that seventies sound - just like getting a vinyl-sample. For the real groove, this library only uses typical funk-instruments, being recorded with the matching vintage-effect processors: Rhodes electric piano, electric bass and guitars, strings, brass and synthesizers.
Rare Grooves is a library of character, equally suited for music production, film- and television dubbing and games. In short: whenever you need the unique black-music-sound of the early seventies, Rare Grooves is your choice.
Elastik-Features
Ueberschall‘s Elastik player is the ideal tool for DJ-based production in your DAW environment. Integrate full grooves or single loops into your own tracks. At the same time, you can modify any loop using effects such as filtering, format tools, reverse playback or resampling. Also, immediate time-stretching is possible, using zplanes advanced lastique pro algorithm. All Elastik libraries use a clearly arranged browser using attributes for fast searching of loops and instruments across all installed construction kits and libraries. The best premise for crossover-productions.

Hailing from the fiery core of the earth comes the hottest virtual 8 string guitar library for metal and rock. Evolution Dracus covers a wide variety of techniques and articulations, whether it's epic shredding leads or gigantic quadruple-tracked rhythm tracks. The sample library boasts an expansive note range, from piercing shrieks in the highest register to monstrous growls emanating far below a standard 6 string guitar's capabilities. Evolution Dracus's robust effects engine features a myriad of virtual stompboxes, rack effects, amps, and guitar cabinets to select from.
We just released a round of free updates for all our Evolution guitar libraries (including Evolution Mandolin).
The new versions bring these libraries up to speed with our newest Evolution Hollowbody Blues library--the most noticeable addition being our new line of guitar cabinet models, covering rare, vintage, and modern cabs. We left the legacy cabinets accessible to maintain compatibility, but these new cabinet models are definitely worth trying out!
Change list:
- Separate spring reverb effect module which features 11 spring reverb tanks to select from. New line of guitar cabinets, including modern and classic guitar cabs.
- New "Velocity to strum speed", "velocity to strum distance", and "strum velocity decay" settings for downstroke/upstroke strum keys.
- Adjustable legato volume.
- "Sixteenth Note Slide" articulation added.
- Improved automatic chord algorithm.
- Improved dynamic memory mode for additional memory saving, and minor CPU efficiency improvements.
Known issues:
- Strumming pattern sync issues when holding a pattern for multiple bars. The strumming pattern system also needs many improvements in terms of a latching mode for automatic pattern triggering as well as more editing capabilities in general.
- With more and more settings available, we need better organization to make them quicker to find.
- Some library-specific changes needed, such as increasing the volume range of the velocity layers in Evolution Sitardelic and removing unwanted harmonics in several of Evolution Steel String's legato samples.
Here's the plan moving forward. We've begun revamping some of the internal workings (which will probably include some UI changes) of the Evolution guitar engine with these goals in mind:
- Each library will use the same exact resources file, allowing us to easily release more frequent updates for our Evolution series.
- Strumming pattern playback/editing and chord system improvements.
- Settings organized, possibly into multiple sections--for example, one section dedicated to the keyboard mapping, including being able to remap the effect keys.

Orange Tree Samples Evolution Dracus v1.1.61 KONTAKT UPDATE:
The electric sitar was introduced in the late 60's, imitating the sound of a traditional sitar by using a special bridge and resonance strings. Undoubtedly a specialty instrument, the electric sitar is typically used in classic rock and modern jazz/fusion styles of music. The model we sampled for Evolution Sitardelic has a semi-hollow pine body with a masonite top, Brazilian rosewood fretboard, and classic "lipstick" single-coil pickups. Its full octave of drone strings add extra resonance and body to the tone of the guitar.

Orange Tree Samples Evolution Stratosphere v1.1.61 KONTAKT UPDATE:
When we introduced our line of guitar sample libraries in 2008, it represented a stunning leap forward in sampled guitar realism. Today, you'll find the Evolution line of guitars and basses in final productions of numerous movie and television scores, trailers, games, even pop hits. Evolution Stratosphere represents the fifth generation of the Evolution guitar engine and incorporates refinements that provide unparalleled realism and more intuitive play.
For example, Evolution Stratosphere has an intuitive, powerful strumming pattern editor. We felt it was important to make something that represents strumming better than the traditionally-used step sequencer approach, so we came up with a more powerful system that's fast and easy to use. It gives you control over which strings get strummed, the direction of the strum, and the speed of the strum. Plus, you can use many articulations within a single strum pattern, and even incorporate special effects like string slaps as part of the pattern.
Evolution Stratosphere comes with a robust guitar effects engine, including a vast collection of modeled guitar pedals. Additionally, you have selectable guitar cab sizes with several options for microphones and mic placement. All together, you have a comprehensive guitar effects suite at your fingertips without external guitar effect processors necessary to get amazing-sounding tones.
But don't just take our word for it, let your ears decide.
Key Features:
- Multitracking up to quadruple tracking.
- Adjustable pick position using our proprietary physical modeling technology.
- Various vibrato styles, from classic vibrato to rock and metal vibrato with adjustable depth/speed. Vibrato can be assigned to MIDI CCs or aftertouch.
- Powerful mapping system that lets you set how you want to trigger articulations, using conditions such as velocity ranges, MIDI CCs, latching and non-latching keyswitches, and more.
- Built-in strum pattern editor for authentic guitar strumming.
Sampling specifications:
- Over 10,000 samples, recorded in 24-bit, 48khz.
- Articulations such as sustains, half palm mutes, full palm mutes, mutes, squeals, tapping, natural harmonics, plus special effects such as chugs, scratches, string slaps, and much more. The articulations amount to 144 unique samples per note, although because each string was sampled individually, in certain cases there are many more based on your ability to play the same note on different strings.
- MIDI articulations for instant upward/downward grace notes, buzz trills, whole-step slides, whole-step hammer-ons, slides (velocity-based and tempo-synced), octaves, and powerchords.
- Legato samples for slides, hammer-ons, and pull-offs.
- The articulations have 3 dynamics, 2 pick directions (when applicable), and 2x round-robin.
- Modeled pickup selection for bridge, bridge + middle, middle, middle + neck, and neck pickups.
Here's what's new in the Kontakt Player edition:
NKS-Ready. Integrates with Komplete Kontrol hardware such as the S-Series keyboards and Maschine. Snapshot presets. The library now uses Kontakt 5's snapshot preset feature, which provides a more a robust preset management solution than the old built-in one. We also added a bunch of new factory presets while we were at it. Tuning tweaks. We did another pass of tune tuning on the samples. Latest Evolution engine. With this new edition, you also get all the improvements of the latest Evolution engine: new reverb pedals, improved round-robin cycling for better multi-tracking, as well as a few minor bug fixes.
Because the library has been encoded for the Kontakt Player, you'll need to re-download the new engine files as well as the samples. If you wish to be able to access both libraries concurrently, simply install this new version in a separate folder.

Orange Tree Samples Evolution Stratosphere KONTAKT PLAYER EDiTiON MERRY XMAS:
We’re proud to announce the release of the new version of Evolution Electric Guitar - Strawberry. This latest version upgrades the library to the new Evolution guitar engine premiered by our recently-released Evolution Electric Guitar - Stratosphere sample library for KONTAKT. The new version is completely FREE for existing owners of the library. If that’s you, be sure to check your email to download the new version.
The update features tons of new features and improvements:
For example, Strawberry has an intuitive, powerful strumming pattern editor. We felt it was important to make something that represents strumming better than the traditionally-used step sequencer approach, so we came up with a more powerful system that’s fast and easy to use. It gives you control over which strings get strummed, the direction of the strum, and the speed of the strum. Plus, you can use many articulations within a single strum pattern, and even incorporate special effects like string slaps as part of the pattern.
Next, all the factory presets are available directly inside Strawberry’s interface, meaning that you can see the preset name at all times as well as use convenient arrow buttons to scroll through the included collection of factory guitar tones and strumming patterns. We converted many of the fan favorites from the previous version as well as adding lots of new clean, crunchy, and distorted preset options.
Finally, Evolution Electric Guitar - Strawberry comes with a robust guitar effects engine, including a vast collection of over $8,000 of modeled guitar pedals. In fact, in the time between releasing Evolution Electric Guitar - Stratosphere, we’ve added several new reverb pedals. Additionally, you have selectable guitar cab sizes with several options for microphones and mic placement.

Orange Tree Samples Evolution Electric Guitar Strawberry v1.0.93 KONTAKT:
Evolution Rick 12 captures the iconic jangle of a 12-string electric guitar. We sampled a pristine vintage model, sporting a semi-hollow maple body, rosewood fretboard, and classic high-gain pickups.
We developed this library in collaboration with Rosewood Recording Company, one of Utah's most venerable recording studios. Guy Randle, the owner and recording engineer at Rosewood Recording Company, incorporates analog audio equipment to skillfully sculpt and emphasize the rich tonal qualities of the guitar. While we've provided the as-is direct signal of the guitar, we also included an enhanced signal of the guitar as well. Being the default setting, we recommend using this enhanced signal, which increases the richness and sustain of the guitar.
For the sampling session, Guy Randle brought in the versatile and accomplished guitarist Michael Dowdle. Michael Dowdle has an impressive musical history. His session guitar work includes recording for artists such as Marie Osmond, The Osmond Brothers, John Schneider, David Archuleta, and The Jets as well performing on numerous movie and TV scores. He has also played on stage with artists like Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, The Coasters, Sam Cardon, and countless others.
Evolution Rick 12 comes with a robust guitar effects engine, including a vast collection of modeled guitar pedals. Additionally, you have selectable guitar cab sizes with several options for microphones and mic placement. All together, you have a comprehensive guitar effects suite at your fingertips without external guitar effect processors necessary to get amazing-sounding tones.
But don't just take our word for it, let your ears decide.

In your face! If other styles are too soft and you need to take no prisoners: Thrash Metal is the ultimate library to start your headbanging productions.
To create this library, Ueberschall has opted for the typical band lineup with drums, bass and two guitars. All elements have been recorded live, using real valve driven amplifiers, an analogue console and a subsequent transition into the digital domain through high-end-converters. No admission for amp simulations here!
Thrash Metal contains ten construction kits with a tempo range between 150 and 186 BPM. Each kit is divided into up to seven subfolders, including intro, A-, B- and C-parts, break and outro. Use the complete mix to prelisten to the construction kits‘ ideas. Like in all Ueberschall products, all instruments of all parts are also prepared as single tracks, enabling you to select your favorites and create your personal mix.
The drums have been specially taken care of. Besides a professional mix down, there are single tracks of bass drum, snare top and bottom, snare trigger-signal (for drum replacement and doubling), hi-hat, cymbals, toms, overheads and room microphones. In addition, the library offers tracks of the bass guitar and at least two guitars.
Whenever real hard hitting tracks are demanded, Ueberschall‘s Thrash Metal is your solution. Music productions, target group specific advertisements, movie trailers, games or just for headbanging - this is the library to produce thrash metal in your studio.
'Reggae Fundamentals 2' is the continuation of Ueberschall's successful series that melts different hand-made reggae styles. Whether classic or current Roots Reggae, synth-based Dancehall or its forerunner, Rub-A-Dub, fresh-sounding modern Reggae, Caribbean grooves or effect-loaded Dub, this library mirrors the broad versatility of the Reggae genre.

The library is characterised by beats on the spot, rolling basslines, minimalistic guitar backings and embedded synth lines, combined in a clean, authentic production style by Ueberschall.
'Reggae Fundamentals 2' offers a huge package of song ideas, consisting of 25 Construction Kits. Each Kit offers up to six subfolders with a main theme and additional variations. It only takes a few actions to construct the first song layout. All instruments and drums of each part are available as optimised and pre-mixed single tracks.
This allows combining single elements with other Construction Kits of this and other libraries and to create your personal, preferred mix down.
The drum kits' components are also available as single tracks, with bass drum, snare, hi-hats, claps, cymbals, as well as congas, bongos and other percussions.
