Been fascinated by Detroit techno recently so I’m working on a 40-50 minute mix of composed techno tracks that I might then later chop into pieces and release using various pseudonyms. Otherwise people think I’m crazy.

KENT LOOP COLLECTION VOLUME 8 – TEC SYNTHS

This is a collection of various synthesizer  AppleLoops. 30 moog modular SW plugin loops, 30 NI Absynth, 30 Vanguard and 15 OSCar loops. They are very techno pattern centric even if some of the other loops are athmosperic and melodic.

APPLELOOPS-LOGIC

These are green AppleLoops. If you don’t the plug-ins, just drag the loops into an audio track so the pure audio is used.

Drop the folder inside your loops directory and Logic will index these loops.

ABLETON LIVE

With Ableton Live, just drag them in from any location.

LOOP INDEX NAMES

khx is my personal prefix.

Two NI Razor synths running.

Having fun after upgrading Guitar Rig 4. 80% of the noises were done with a guitar.

An old 2005 project that I just released as a free album from Free Music Archive.

Here’s the link for accessing it.

At that time I used a lot o compositional parts re-assembled into new songs in combination with strange plug-ins such as CamelSpace. There are actually only eight tracks or so in the Ableton Live project panel so I just re-used various settings to see what happened.

Otherwise it was an exercise in writing ambient music with a twist. All I had to do to re-vitalize this project was to remaster it with VintageWarmer and Ozone 4 to make it sound a little bit more spacious.

Anyway, download it, listen, upload it, spread it around.

KENT LOOP COLLECTION VOLUME 7 – CHEEZE MACHINE

This is a collection of Cheeze Machine string AppleLoops. Cheeze Machine is a free VST/AU plugin available on Internet. Use these in case you want seventies style cheesy string sounds and arrangements. This set also has the corresponding MIDI files in case you get tired of the cheesy strings and want some other synth patch to be used.

The loops are clean so you could experiment with various compressor and other effect settings.

APPLELOOPS-LOGIC

These are green AppleLoops. If you don’t the plug-ins, just drag the loops into an audio track so the pure audio is used.

Drop the folder inside your loops directory and Logic will index these loops.

ABLETON LIVE

With Ableton Live, just drag them in from any location.

chez – Cheeze Machine string sounds

atm – atmospheric sounds

I produced this track and did 70-80% of so of the instruments. Sam sang and did an excellent job with the rhythm guitar tracks and some of the keyboards. Should be released in a couple of weeks’ time on the PlanetoidPop sub-label. I’m hoping to produce/release 5-10 pop singles this year.
