Zero-G VindaLoops Zero-GZero-G Here it is! Zero-G ‘Vindaloops’. A spicy concoction of Indian percussion loops, single shot hits and authentic Bhangra instrumentation and effects. We envisage these samples being used in the widest range of musical styles imaginable including Dance, Ambient and, of course, Bhangra. Some of the samples are mono, some stereo depending on age, sampler used and so on. Some are in mono because, quite frankly, we felt that they sounded better that way! In order to help make the rhythm cycle of each loop more comprehensible to western ears we have generally looped samples over 2 bars. Breaks, fills, rolls and hits are distin- guished by being repeated twice with a small gap in between for you to hit the “sample” button. [IMPORTANT: A lot of these loops were originally played without a click track so b.p.m.s are given approximately - you should therefore be prepared to experiment with loop lengths and tempos to give the best feel for your particular groove.] Loops are grouped in homogeneous “kits” of similar sounds and tempos where possible, but there’s no reason why you shouldn’t mix and match as you please. The samples have been collected over a long period of time using a variety of samplers but currently we use a heavily upgraded Kurzweil K2000 as our main “Workhorse” (Respect to Darren Driscoll of Music Mart, London, Canada. Hope the little one is well!!), supplemented by our faithful Akai S1000. ‘Vindaloops’ samples were recorded and equalised using a Studiomaster P7 desk (many thanx K.M. Malik and Stake at Studiomaster - another great product boyz!). A Mac computer running Digidesign Soundtools was used for compiling and editing the samples. ‘Vindaloops’ gave us a lot of pleasure and fun in it’s preparation as well as some sleepless indaindaLLoopsoops nights and headaches. We feel it’s all been worthwhile though! VV There’s plenty more where this came from - So get those samplers steaming....
