Zero-G ASL - Analogue Sequencer Loops now shipping

Zero-G has released ASL - Analogue Sequencer Loops, an Intakt based Sound Module - available for Windows and OSX in VST, DXi, AU and RTAS plug-in formats with an MSRP of US$219.95 / EU€179 / GB£129.

ASL, developed by ZERO-G and XFonic, is designed to complement Zero-G's Morphology instrument. It is based around a new sample library from Ian Boddy, one of Europe's leading synthesists, featuring 1,000 loops and over 1.5 Gb of brand new material sourced entirely from analogue modular systems & vintage analogue synths and performed solely on hardware analogue sequencers.

ASL features the following sound categories:

• Analogue Drums
• Bass Sequences
• Electronic Percussion
• FX Loops
• Hi-Hat & Noise Loops
• Melodic Sequences
• Sine & Pure Sequences

These are further subdivided into 7 tempo groups ranging from 90 - 150 BPM. With the Intakt interface's ability to play back loops at varying tempos these are provided purely to conveniently divide the library into easily digestible chunks.
