PART I – "Rhodes2Moog":

This library is a collaborative work with Hi.Moez and Arecio Smith who have accepted to shut themselves up in our studio with just a Clavia Nord Electro 3, a Moog Voyager and a bunch of classic studio effects.

The magic lies in the methodology: we've connected the audio out of the Clavia -set to a Rhodes patch- into the Filter input of the Moog, while the Moog was controlling the Nord Electro via MIDI. This way the keyboard player was able to "play a Rhodes through a MiniMoog" ie: play Rhodes sounds & Moog VCOs mixed together and then filtered by a stereo Moog Filter.

To put the icing on the cake we've passed those samples through several boutique FX boxes such as the Moog Murf -sequenced analog filter- the MoogerFooger MF104 -analog BBD delay- or the Roland Space Echo 201 -tape echo- giving this collection an special "underwater" sound.

The outcome is a collection of more than 750 high quality chords and licks, neatly organized by mood.

PART 2 – "Well Dressed Vinyl":

But it doesn't end here. As a bonus we've loaded our MPC with lots of vinyl-sampled chords and intervals we've pitched them up & down to later process them through the same effects as the Rhodes2Moog library.

The result is "Well Dressed Vinyl", more than 200 tastefully gathered dusty vinyl samples.
