Ueberschall has announced the release of their newest loop library for the Elastik player: Bossa Nova Primeiro. Here is what they say about it:
Bossa Nova Primeiro delivers that classic Bossa Nova blend balancing elements of samba rhythms with jazz harmonies. With its syncopated rhythms and unconventional chord progressions, Bossa Nova Primeiro captures the sensual nature of the musical style and is always sophisticated and exotic. Also perfect for Latin Brasil, Jazz, and Lounge.
Featuring over 5 GB of sample data and nearly 800 individual loops, the ten construction kits contain between two and six musical sections. Individual loops are up to 1 minute in length. Original recording tempos spanning 88 to 162 BPM, although some have a half-time feel to maintain a smooth, laid-back, mood. The content of each of the constructions kits makes it simple to generate full-length musical arrangements with plenty of variety.
The instrumentation features upright bass (with separate loops for microphone and piezo versions), concert guitar (with nylon string) and piano (with separate loops for both acoustic and electric versions). Solo saxophone provides the main melodic content in many of the parts with some also including flute. As suits the style, the concert guitar parts provide both foundation of the chordal structure and a focus for the rhythm. The acoustic drum performances provide authentic Bossa Nova rhythms with plenty of rimshots. Pre-mixed drum loops are provided, as well as single track loops for kick (in and out), snare (top and bottom), hihat, toms, overheads, two different room mics and congas.
The musical key is provided for each construction kit but, given the sophisticated jazz-influenced harmonies, some key modulation occurs. Full chord sequences are therefore provided within the included PDF.
Bossa Nova Primeiro captures the smooth, sensual and sophisticated nature of Brasil's most famous musical export. The title is a perfect addition to our existing Brasil Nova Primeiro and Segundo titles. For songwriters, producers, or media composers looking to capture that perfect Bossa Nova influence for their next Latin Brasil, Lounge, Jazz or Chillout project, Bossa Nova Primeiro is the perfect choice.
The free Elastik loop player provides high-quality pitch-shifting, time-stretching and scale-syncing but also various creative tools for sound design like resample, formant, reverse and a multimode filter. The tag-based browser manages all installed soundbanks together, enabling easy combinations between different libraries.
