DDL is back with another superb Ableton template to create dozens of Deep House trax. This time with a new and different setup. The heart is a NI Reaktor Blocks ensemble which let´s you easily create a chord progression (10 presets included) and by this automatically trigger a bassline and an arpeggiator . Further you can choose between 50 kicks, 86 rhythms (Hihat+Percussions) and 25 shakers. All of the previously mentioned elements are editable to your likings. With a few clicks you´ll have a cool track ready though you can dive deeper by altering / editing the ensemble, tweaking / swapping the sounds.

Cycles & Spots drop their first VST3 plugin with DeepDrum which is a sample player groovebox (or drum machine solely) including 400 one-shot samples for Deep House / Deep Tech and such featuring kick, clap, snare, hihat close, hihat open, bass and chord sounds. It comes with 50 banks / presets (you can create your own ones easily and quickly) and 25 bonus MIDI files. The latter form royalty free track starter structures which you can use right away or alter further (try using other presets). 8 sample slots can be used in a preset at a time. Each slot consits of 2 samples though which means you can form even new sounds by mixing samples (sound design). For sound manipulation you will get control of volume, panning, pitch, adsr, frequency shifter, 3 filters, 1 band equalizer, reverb, delay, 4 lfos and a modulation matrix. The latter let's you put any lfo on any parameter for extra movement. The instrument includes an option to change it's appearance to a dark and a light skin. The 8 slots can be routed to single mono outputs.

Cycles & Spots crafted an easy to use (randomizable) groovebox for Reaktor for House to Minimal featuring 8 tracks (bass, chord, melody, kick, hihat, clap, snare, percussion). It comes with 50 main presets (song sketches, free to use) and 400 underlying sequencer presets. These can be randomized per button press or manually edited. The randomizer chooses random scales, key, sequences, drum samples, synth presets and modulations – that leads to a lot of possible outcomes to start your own creations quickly. This all means that this groovebox is easy to use for beginners but also let's you go deeper if you want. Patterns can be selected per MIDI and so arranged into songs in a DAW (or simply recorded). If you know the C&S' Deep Minimal Trax Maker series – this is similar but offers much more control over each single elements since no loops are used here.
