ASL - ANALOGUE SEQUENCER LOOPS
A brand new plug-in Virtual Sound Module by IAN BODDY, powered by a custom version of the Native Instruments INTAKT Sampler (VST 2.0, DXi, ASIO, AU, RTAS, Mac & PC)
Unpolluted, undiluted and undisputed, ASL, (ANALOGUE SEQUENCER LOOPS) is 100% pure analogue, using only classic analogue synths and hardware analogue sequencers - and superbly captured at 24bit sampling resolution. This superb virtual instrument, developed by ZERO-G and XFonic, is designed to complement the highly acclaimed 'Morphology' instrument. ASL is based around a uniquely inspiring new sample library from IAN BODDY, one of Europe's leading synthesists, featuring 1,000 loops and over 1.5 Gb of brand new material sourced entirely from analogue modular systems & vintage analogue synths and performed solely on hardware analogue sequencers.
"...Very inspiring and a great way to kick start the creative juices. I'd suggest that if you're into electronic music you should check this out: it would be great for the more esoteric side of ambient music or film music. While a collection like this is never going to be quite the same as having some analogue synths in your studio, as a shortcut to inspiration they can't be faulted. And they stay in tune, which is more than can be said for most vintage synths!"
WWW.SOUNDGENERATOR.COM
"...There is some excellent stuff amongst this lot... consistently high audio quality... genuine analogue character... full of movement and warmth... I could imagine these loops working in a number of contexts ranging from synth-led Depeche Mode or Soft Cell through club styles (ambient trance anyone?) to a Mike Oldfield/Tubular Bells sound... For fans of a genuine analogue sound, ASL ought to have considerable appeal and, given the UK price, the library offers respectable value for money.."
SOUND ON SOUND MAGAZINE, UK
ANALOGUE SEQUENCER LOOPS features the following sound categories:
Analogue Drums
Bass Sequences
Electronic Percussion
FX Loops
Hi-Hat & Noise Loops
Melodic Sequences
Sine & Pure Sequences
These are further subdivided into 7 tempo groups ranging from 90 - 150 BPM. With the INTAKT interface's ability to play back loops at varying tempos these are provided purely to conveniently divide the library into easily digestible chunks.
Ian Boddy's extensive arsenal of vintage and modern analogue synths and analogue sequencers has been extensively plundered to create the unique and inspiring new library that you will find within this powerful virtual instrument.

Not only can you sync, stretch, and pitch the loops, but also filter, effect and modulate them as well! A powerful sound-shaping filter, flexible envelopes, syncable LFOs, and distortion, syncable delay, and lo-fi effects can inject even more energy and individuality into the loops. Since the software interface is based on the KONTAKT audio engine, working with it is fast, easy, and sounds great!
Experience the sonic eminence of genuine, unadulterated analogue power!

IMPORTANT: To avoid confusion, we would like to point out that the Native Instruments software powering ASL is not a "PLAYER" but an INSTRUMENT. The software included is a complete Virtual Instrument called INTAKT INSTRUMENT, which is a specialized and streamlined version of the NI KONTAKT sampler and also use the KONTAKT audio engine. The INTAKT INSTRUMENT interface should not be confused with the much more basic "KONTAKT PLAYER" interface as included with some other companies' products, which is simply a 'player' of libraries in Kontakt format and has very little editing functionality. That is obviously very different from the INTAKT INSTRUMENT, which includes the most used controls from KONTAKT and even many powerful new features, and allow massive editing of the included sound library. The INTAKT INSTRUMENT which powers the Zero-G "ASL" Virtual Sound Module, is a much more powerful creative tool than the "KONTAKT PLAYER".
