DESCRIPTION:
Sample Magic's debut virtual instrument for Kontakt, Bloq features over 2.6GB of sample data, presented in carefully collated and customised presets created on some of the most iconic and revered synthesisers of a generation.

Over a year in the making, Bloq is the result of months of arduous and carefully crafted sound design and sampling from Sample Magic co-founder Sharooz's extensive personal archive of vintage instruments.

Drawing from an iconic line-up of 17 synthesisers and 13 drum machines including the Roland TR-808, TR-909, TB-303, Jupiter 8, Jupiter 6, SH-101, Arp Odyssey, Sequential Circuits Pro-One, Prophet 5, Clavia Nord Lead 4 and Akai MPC 60 to name but a few, every key of every patch was meticulously sampled through a variety of pristine quality preamps at 24-bit resolution via the Prism Orpheus soundcard.

Sounds were further processed with the SSL G-series and DBX 160 compressors, Empirical Labs Distressor, Focusrite ISA 430 and Neve 1073 channel strip.

Sample Magic's trademark design acumen means 2 x beautifully crafted GUIs complete with vintage retro styled knobs, switches, LEDs, wooden side panels and a unique fader-styled step sequencer.
