Hold onto your body parts, namely your organ-playing hands — Nine Volt Audio has released Organ Explosion: 9V-B3 Edition, a multi-format sample library featuring the sounds of the Hammond B-3.
Organ Explosion includes 20 organized song suites covering funk, blues, jazz, rock, and many other musical genres, in addition to a large loop collection (706 loops) of rhythmic bursts, riffs, and fat back grooves.
What sets Organ Explosion apart from other sample libraries is the fact that it places left and right hand performances into separate loops. According to Nine Volt Audio, while the left hand lays down solid basslines and the right pumps rhythm and melodies, composers have the freedom to combine loops for complete performances and the flexibility to separate them, opening up additional creative and compositional options.
Furthermore, every REX-based loop (used in Stylus RMX and Kontakt) can be used at a wide range of tempos with no artificial stretching. The collection’s loops come in REX2, Stylus RMX, Kontakt, ACIDized WAV, and Apple Loop formats; Organ Explosion is compatible with full retail versions of Kontakt 3.5 and higher.
Organ Explosion: 9V-B3 Edition features:
- 706 Loops in REX2, Stylus RMX, Kontakt, ACIDized WAV, and Apple Loop formats
- Organized into 20 song suites, each with labeled song parts (riffs, progressions, transitions, grooves, and so forth), labeled key / chord progressions in the file name, and an “L” or “R” to indicate the hand that is playing the loop
- Any of the REX-based loops (used in Stylus RMX, Reason, Kontakt, and most major sequencers like Cubase, Live, Sonar, Digital Performer, Pro Tools, and Logic) can be used at tempos as slow as 75 BPM with no artificial stretching
