"The time has finally arrived! BLAP-KIT Volume 8 is probably one of the most anticipated drum kits to date. To think we've come this far, raising the bar on sound design every single time. This collection is all about TEXTURE. What makes a drum sound pleasant to the ears? Texture. For this collection, our focus was on variety and uniqueness. Nowadays in an era where everyone is using the same types of drum sounds, we wanted to create a drum kit that alleviates this problem. We've got an innovative collection of kick drums, snares, claps, tribal drum loops, drum loop textures designed to layer, as well as a HUGE handful of percussion one-shots that act as ear candy when used in the right situations. There are an infinite amout of possibilities with this collection when layering each sound. I've also included 'sound effect' one-shots, never before done on previous Blap-Kits. Your imagination will run wild with the possibilities of how to use these textures in your music. Compatible with ANY DAW, this collection is current, innovative & is sure to set the standard in modern music for years to come." - !llmind

"Being an 80s baby, I remember growing up seeing movies from the 70s and 80s. A lot of them were Sci-Fi and Horror flicks. Aside from the movies usually being pretty bizarre, I was always attracted to the types of music and textures that were used. Even today, I'm usually attracted to the 'soundtrack' sections in vinyl shops, interested in finding those textures. From doing that over the course of many years, I've noticed a consistent use in a small handful of vintage keyboards/synths during that era. These synthesizers are some of my favorite, most legendary ever created. I'm talking about the Prophet 8, Arp Odyssey, Emu Proteus 2000 & the ever popular Mini Moog. Utilizing these actual synthesizers, I've created a set of 20 COMPLETELY ORIGINAL compositions, all played and composed by me. I'm so thrilled to present this creative collection to the few hundred of you that will ultimately get your hands on it. I want you to treat these like samples lifted straight from 70s Sci-Fi/Horror Soundtrack records. The only difference is, all of the audio stems are included!" - !llmind

"Seven is a special number. According to numerology, it resonates with the vibrations and energies of the 'collective consciousness'. I wanted to create a kit that does just that. A COMPLETE KIT that's fit for EVERY genre of modern music. My focus here was on percussion texture and taking hand made instruments, manipulating them into modern day one-shot masterpieces. Almost 7 full months of intense sound design & attention to detail were put into creating this set. This time, I've almost DOUBLED the amount of sounds you typically get in a blap kit. I know what it's like to become instantly inspired by NEW and un-heard-of drum sounds, so that's exactly what I've provided. Utilizing a series of advanced frequency manipulation from REAL drum sets (snares, kicks, hi-hats & various percussion), using state of the art vintage reverb machines (such as the AMS RMX16, L480 & a Baldwin Amp) stacked, layered & molded into one of the most innovative drum sets i've ever put together in my life. This is by far my most advanced kit, to date.

A collection of chord progressions played on vintage analog synthesizers including the key of each progression and midi files. 

"All Chords Everything pretty much sums up what this amazing collection is about. Chords! I'd say more often than not, I usually start my ideas by playing melodies and chords. Some people like to start with drums, others don't. Easily plug these chord progressions into a drum loop, or start with these melodies and create a drum loop around them. There is no right or wrong way to approach things when it comes to making beats. I wanted to create a collection of chord progressions that would serve to instantly inspire you to start building a track. Whether it's hardcore hip-hop, R&B, soul, or Pop music, this collection is sure to get your creative juices flowing. The best part is, I've included ALL of the MIDI data, so the sky is the limit. I hope you enjoy this amazing collection as much as I enjoyed creating it." - !llmind

"More aggression, melody, more dirt, more inspiration. In a nutshell, this is what Cocaine Synths Volume 3 brings to the table. Drawing inspiration from various analog synthesizers created and used in the 70's & 80's, I wanted to create a sample set of loops using those same synthesizers (aka 'Cocaine Synths') that evoke those emotions I was so fondly of listening to, growing up as a child. Here, I've created 20 more 'moments', equivalent to those same moments when the needle touches the vinyl, and you find that perfect section to loop, chop & create a masterpiece from. Warmth, depth, aggression and texture define this sound set. Owning these samples is a no-brainer." - !llmind

"Regardless of what genre of music you create, you're most likely incorporating some type of percussion element to your creations. Kicks, snares and hi-hats are the obvious choice, but what about the other 'stuff'. The miscellaneous, like congas, sticks, metallic blips & toms. This is where 'All Analog Percussion' comes in! Here, I've created a collection of Miscellaneous percussion one-shots, all created using analog hardware equipment and signal generators. I've tweaked and molded every LFO wave, altered pitch/decay + dampening on every single sound, which means this is a collection you've never heard before. From punchy tom drums, to round congas, sticks with various pitch, and a variety of metallic sounds (some more feisty than others..) & so much more (179 sounds, wow!) this collection is an absolute must have." - !llmind

The 1st one-shot drum kit, tuned to 432hz.

"It's been more than a year since the previous Blap-Kit (Volume 5) was released. That kit was hailed by many as 2013's best drum kit, and debatably one of the greatest drum kits ever released. Of course, it was only right to take things a step further with BLAP-KIT VOLUME 6. Almost 6 full months of intense sound design & attention to detail were put into creating this exciting new volume. I know what it's like to become instantly inspired by NEW and un-heard-of drum sounds, so that's exactly what I've provided. Utilizing a series of advanced frequency manipulation from REAL drum sets (snares, kicks, hi-hats & various percussion), using state of the art vintage reverb machines (such as the AMS RMX16, L480 & a Baldwin Amp) stacked, layered & molded into one of the most innovative drum sets i've ever put together in my life. Interestingly enough, most instruments of today are tuned to our "standard" 440hz frequency. After much research, I've discovered that, in fact, tuning instruments to 432hz (instead of 440) yields a more "harmonious" frequency with the energies around us. Because of this, I've tuned every instrument to 432hz. This is by far my most advanced kit, to date. An absolute must-have for every producer's drum collection!" - !llmind
