Nothing Short of a Revolution

ILIO and Spectrasonics have teamed up to create a technology for producing groove libraries that will change the way you use sampled grooves and phrases. Our exclusive Groove Control# activated libraries give you independent control over the tempo of live, stereo sampled loops, without affecting pitch. What's more, it gives you this control with your existing sampler and sequencer, so the only thing you need to use Groove Control is simply to buy one of our Groove Control activated libraries.

If you've ever worked with sampled grooves, you know that the ability to change tempo independently of pitch is definitely a dream come true. But Groove Control is much more than tempo shifting.

It's about Feel

Using your existing sampler and sequencer, you can easily adjust the feel of a sampled groove, as well as the tempo. For instance, you can change a straight backbeat groove into a funky shuffle with just a few clicks. If the drummer's performance was a little too laid back for you, simply quantize it a little. Or let's say your bass line riff is pushing too hard against the kick drum - just nudge the kicks over until they're "on the money." Or completely change the pattern. If only working with drummers were so easy!

It's about Simplicity

Load the groove. Load the sequence. Go.

Our Groove Control activated libraries already work with your existing sampler and sequencer. Simply load a groove from the CD-ROM into your sampler, then open the included sequence on your Mac or PC, and you've got Groove Control. Since you're already working in the sequencer of your choice, there's no learning curve. It just works! And since it works inside your sequencer, the grooves automatically follow your tempo changes. Plus, you can use MIDI controllers to automate mix levels, filter sweeps, drum tunings, or you can stack many different layers of grooves on top of each other, automatically locking them to tempo. It all adds up to unprecedented control and inspiring flexibility.

It's about Sound

Remember, you're enjoying this kind of control with stereo sampled grooves, so you never loose that sense of live energy or fidelity. It really sounds as though the musician is taking direction from you right there in the studio! And speaking of musicians, the first Groove Control activated libraries will feature some of the most famous drummers and percussionists in the world - names like Gregg Bissonette, Alex Acuña, Bashiri Johnson, Bob Wilson, John Ferraro, Eric Boseman and many more to come! And with producers like Eric Persing at the helm, you'll be getting the best sounds and programming possible.

It's about Control

How do you get it? Simply look for the logo on all of our Groove Control activated libraries. There are many now available including Liquid Grooves GC, Retro Funk, Metamorphosis and Backbeat from Spectrasonics, plus Ethno Techno and Skippy#s Big Bad Beats from ILIO with many more soon to come. Each Groove Control activated library will include sampler-specific CD-ROMs, and Data CDs that contain the Mac/PC sequence files, plus extras, all for the price of a normal library. You'll find detailed descriptions of these libraries in our catalog. Just look for the logo!
