'Steel Pan' by Ueberschall contains over 400 unique steel pan loops and phrases. Alongside the classic sound of Reggae, nothing conjures images of the Caribbean more than the steel pan drum. Originating from Trinidad and Tobago, originally built from large industrial drums used for liquid transport, the chromatically-tuned pan drum has a colourful history and is instantly associated with the sound of the Caribbean carnival.
Ueberschall's Steel Pan library, part of the Elastik Instrument Series, captures the full character of the drum's distinctive sound and provides producers with that classic Caribbean carnival character.
The audio is presented dry (without effects) and ready for your own choice of processing and ambience. As with other libraries in the Instrument Series, the phrases are organised by tempo and into sub-folders containing collections of musically related loops with original recording tempos ranging from 70 to 120 BPM. Loops are generally 2 bars in length and recorded in the keys of Am and Em. However, with a consistent sound across the entire loop collection, and Elastik's powerful tempo-matching and ReTune features, it is incredibly easy to mix and match phrases among the different folders and to build a full song-based performance.
Authentic Sound:
For music producers or composers looking to create the genuine sound of Caribbean street music, 'Steel Pan' will bring instant results. However, the sounds can also be used by songwriters to bring some West Indian spice into cross-over compositions in other genres such as Funk, Soul, House or mainstream Pop. Whatever the musical style, if you are looking to add the sound of an authentic steel drum performance to your next production, this pack delivers all the hits you need.
Elastik Features:
The Elastik Player from Ueberschall is the ideal tool for loop-based music production. The advanced algorithms by zplane development can match all loops in this pack to any track in pitch, key and tempo. All installed Elastik libraries share a common, clearly arranged browser, granting immediate access to all installed loops. Functions such as resample, formant and reverse as well as an effective sequence mode allow creative sound design on the fly.
Please Note:
The backing sounds used in the demo song are not part of this pack.
