This month, we’ve smashed, crunched and tortured a number of sources to create two packs of gritty goodness. Download from bit.ly/cm322downloads

torted and Mangled 1
Robbie at Cyclick was chomping at the bit to start threshing up his synths, drum machines and more. Over to him…
“This sample pack serves up a set of distorted and mangled loops so you can throw some weird into a track, tuck behind more straight elements to enhance and create depth, or just mangle them further – should you be an aural sadist. The loops are split into six tempo groups, each containing beats, synth tone-drones, arpeggiations, guitar and electric piano. The beats, keys and synths were all processed with plugins, albeit in a suitably heavy handed manner. The guitar sound was mostly produced by the Telecaster and pedals, with just a plain amp emulation in Amplitube finishing the job, plus an EQ and limiter. Throughout pitch and delay modulation were used to do a lot of the mangling work, while distortion was gained in multiple stages either side of other processes, many of them quite subtle on their own but when combined create heavily saturated and blasted-out tones.”
