Ilio Ethno-Techno SAGE Xpander

Imagine a groove, not yet invented. Imagine a drum, never heard. Imagine an untamed sonic space. Bashiri Johnson (Whitney Houston, Miles Davis, Madonna, Saturday Night Live, Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Peter Wolf), has dreamed up a new kind of groove library, with sounds both familiar and mysterious, dangerous and beautiful. And mostly, a groove experience you've probably never imagined.

The sounds are organic, metallic, deep and glassy. Some were created by radically conceived, hand-welded instruments, others from more traditional skins and sticks. All of them were played live, some preserved, some liquefied, to create an immense amalgam of earthy and industrial beats.

Bashiri pours his mind and soul directly into his instruments. His accuracy and feel have long been celebrated by musicians the world over. And if you're a fan of Eric Persing, you won't be disappointed by the spacious, round and tasty feel of his mixes and remixes on Ethno Techno. Loops are provided as Mixes, Elements and Remixes, all Groove Control™ activated. Multisample menus too!

Enhance the variety of choices for the newly released Stylus RMX virtual groove instrument. S.A.G.E. Xpanders on DVD-ROM are based on award-winning collections from Spectrasonics and can be easily added to Stylus RMX's already massive core library.

All S.A.G.E. Xpanders include a special bonus section, which has hundreds of interesting grooves from Spectrasonics' Vocal Planet, Bizarre Guitar and Distorted Reality libraries. Each Xpander also includes a unique set of creative Stylus RMX Multi patches that take advantage of the incredible S.A.G.E. (Spectrasonics Advanced Groove Engine) features of Stylus RMX and show the potential of the Xpander when used in combination with the RMX Core Library and the Bonus section.
