Native Instruments Launches “Electric Vice” – Electro/Complextro Maschine Expansion
Ready for something new to put into your ears?
We like the fresh directions you can go in with the latest from Native Instruments: Electric Vice, a MASCHINE Expansion built around the sounds of up-to-the-minute electro house styles, which are also known as complextro. MASCHINE is Native Instruments’ fully integrated hardware/software groove box.
Created for optimum workflow both in the studio and live, Electric Vice is available now for $59, with the iMASCHINE version available at the in-app store for $0.99.
Here’s a vice you don’t have to feel bad about: the new Electric Vice expansion for MASCHINE.
Give it a listen on the Web page and we believe you’ll agree with our positive assessment. Here’s more on this not-so-guilty pleasure, as described by Native Instruments:
“Along with a full set of sounds tailored to the genre, this MASCHINE Expansion features a choke group workflow, designed for performance. ELECTRIC VICE also includes custom presets from NI’s MASSIVE synthesizer now bundled free with MASCHINE software.
The kits and patterns in ELECTRIC VICE contain an array of gritty drums, powerful one-shots, and intricate patterns. A choice selection of loops created at the genre’s most common tempos provides users with pre-configured sounds to enrich any production. The kits in ELECTRIC VICE include pre-produced tonal loops configured as a choke group. When users play MASCHINE’s pads, these samples are cut off by the next sound triggered, effectively playing each sample smoothly in sequence. This ‘choke group workflow’ offers producers a simple and fun way to generate new and interesting musical ideas, allowing users to quickly create dynamic live performances.
A new set of included MASSIVE presets add another unique element to this expansion. These dynamic presets have been created by top producers to cover the full spectrum of penetrating basses, distorted leads, loops and sound effects found in hard electro house styles – all controllable directly from the hardware, using MASCHINE’s top row Macro knobs.
A compact version of ELECTRIC VICE is also available for iMASCHINE – the groove sketchpad for iPhone/iPod touch.”
