STACKS, part of the Play Series, offers a treasure trove of sounds reminiscent of 2000s-era hip hop. Packed with leads, strings, horns, bass, and more, it encapsulates the essence of sample-heavy beats from the past. Through resampling and processing using tape decks and hardware, STACKS delivers authentic textures, including electric keys, organs, glocks, strings, horns, and live bass, perfect for the art of beatmaking.
The BURNT HUES Expansion further enriches this sonic palette with contemporary crate-digging textures, offering dusty textures and organic blends inspired by underground hip hop. With over 150 presets featuring loose leads, off-kilter keys, live bass, horns, strings, and vintage synths, BURNT HUES provides ample creative possibilities.
The sounds in STACKS and BURNT HUES are sampled and resampled using original hardware and effects, along with established signal chains and techniques, ensuring an authentic and dynamic sound. With an intuitive interface, real-time control, and great-sounding presets, these instruments are a must-have for producers looking to capture the essence of old-school hip hop.
