Ueberschall have announced the release of Chillstep, a new Melodic Dubstep soundbank for their free Elastik Player.
Chillstep takes the mellow musical tastes of chill and lounge music and seasons them with some dubstep spices. The result is a collection of crossover tunes in an Elastik library format. The moods and original tempos remain relaxed throughout but the sounds are right from contemporary EDM.
Chill Meets Dubstep
A total of 10 full construction kits are provided. Each kit contains between two and four different musical sections. Within each section, a wide range of synth, synth bass, sub bass, pads, sound effects, piano, vocal effect and electronic drum loops are provided. In total, the library features 2.5 GB of sample data and over 650 individual loops and samples. Drum loops include both pre-mixed stereo loops and separate loops for kick, snare, claps, hihats and electronic percussion.
Mellow Moods Spiced With Dubstep Sonics
Particular attention has been paid to the bass synth, sub-bass and synth sounds. These deliver the filtered and modulated character of dubstep sounds but without the full-on aggression usually associated with that style. The results are chilled, but up-to-date, electronic musical ideas. Chillstep is therefore ideal for songwriters or media composers who want to mix mellow with modern to create chilled tunes.
Chillstep comes with the free Elastik Player so no sampler is required. It supports your standard AAX, RTAS, AU, and VST plug-in formats, and works as a Standalone application also (Mac & PC).
