(except when it’s supposed not to be), but in the way that ALSO AVAILABLE FROM ZERO-G: the whole library is forced into easy-to-manage tempo sets of 120, 125, 130, 135, and 140bpm. Gloriously, this covers TOTAL HOUSE all the samples including the wonderful collection of guitar riffs and licks, synth phrases and electric bass loops. With a name like Zero-G you can expect TAS CD 94 quality, but the sheer ease of use and clever layout of this library will make Total House both a pleasure to use and source of inspiration for a long while to come. There are rich pad textures and a vast array of retro analogue wizzes and bleeps, and the guitar and bass licks are highly usable and cover a wide range of house sub-genres from ‘70s funk to heavily processed semi- rock sounds. For dedicated programmers with time to spare, there are a good number of multisamples of many of the instruments, and (which is more important), they are usable multisamples (not just bottom C and middle C, like some other sample CDs I could mention). There are a good number of weird vocal samples (both sung and spoken). The drum loops are universally excellent - there seem to be so many finely tuned ‘kickin’ house breakbeats stuffed onto the disk that finding something that wouldn’t work in your house track would, I imagine, be almost impossible. Zero-G’s Total House is a dedicated product in a specialist field that The reviewers agree - this is the succeeds on a number of levels. It would be worth the ultimate in house collections! asking price for the drum loops alone, but as it stands 3 CDs full of the toughest house grooves, loops, basses, synths, Total House gives you over 144 track-minutes of raw sample vocals and FX.
