East-West ASL Analog Sequencer Loops Virtual Instrument
This superb virtual instrument, developed by ZERO-G and XFonic, is designed to complement the highly acclaimed 'Morphology' instrument. ASL is based around a uniquely inspiring 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.
ANALOGUE SEQUENCER LOOPS 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.
Ian Boddy's extensive arsenal of vintage and modern analogue synths and analogue sequencers has been extensively plundered to create the unique and inspiring new library that you will find within this powerful virtual instrument.

Not only can you sync, stretch, and pitch the loops, but also filter, effect and modulate them as well! A powerful sound-shaping filter, flexible envelopes, syncable LFOs, and distortion, syncable delay, and lo-fi effects can inject even more energy and individuality into the loops. Since the software interface is based on the KONTAKT audio engine, working with it is fast, easy, and sounds great!
Experience the sonic eminence of genuine, unadulterated analogue power!
FEATURES:
- Loops created entirely with HARDWARE ANALOGUE sequencers
- All samples recorded at 24 Bit sample resolution for hi-fidelity
- All loops presented in 3 convenient forms, preview mode, sliced mode & global pitched mode
- Loops can be played back at varying tempos / pitches in real time
- Access to, and editability of, each individual slice of every loop
- Loops split into 7 categories for ease of use : Analogue Drums, Bass Sequences, Electronic Percussion, FX Loops, HiHat/Noise Loops, Melodic Sequences, and Sine/Pure Sequences
- MIDI files for all loops for optimal rhythmic control
Features of the Native Instruments INTAKT User Interface:
- Access to individual hits (slices) within loops
- Easy and intuitive user interface
- User interface is a version of Native Instruments' INTAKT, based on KONTAKT, the world's finest software sampling engine
- Loops use one or more of the three sampler-modes: Beat Machine with ISE (Individual Slice Edit), Time Machine or standard Sampler mode
- Easy synchronization of loops to MIDI tempo
- MIDI file export permits groove, accent, and feel manipulation in any host sequencer
- Integrated effects: Group filter including low-pass, high-pass, band-reject or band-pass m
