EP-40 Riddim Multi-Sample Expansion #1 - Cinematic Instruments

The Cranky Man had a vision. A film score. A cinematic masterpiece involving snow, slow-motion running, and profound bitterness. Or maybe just a documentary about his hat collection. It doesn't matter.

What matters is that he tried to write it on the EP-40, and it sounded like a frantic cartoon chase scene. Unusable. Thin. Pathetic. He got "beep" when he needed "BWAAAAAAAAM."

So, he fixed it. Because nobody else would.

Here are 15 brand-new multi-sampled instruments. Expertly curated for Soundtrack, Orchestral, Downtempo, and Chill production.

They fill the gaping void left by the original factory sounds. You're welcome.

Important: Multi-sampled instruments are supported ONLY on EP-40 at this time.
(Go ahead, email Teenage Engineering and ask for a firmware update for Medieval and KO2. They don't listen to me. Apparently, the support team in Stockholm finds me too Vresig. I assume that is Swedish for 'Handsome'.)

Includes: Flutes, Saxophone, Piano, Strings, Orchestral Textures, and Synths.

Finally, actual instruments. With this collection, you can start composing "organic melodies" and "intimate solo lines." Perfect for building those dramatic underscores and slow-burn arrangements that make you feel like a serious artiste.

Suitable for: Modern Ambient, Minimal Electronic, Chillout, and whatever you call "Experimental" these days.

The Tech Specs: Everything is multi-sampled and aggressively optimized. I squeezed the whole lot into a measly 16 MB. They sound excellent with the Reverb FX (which hides a multitude of sins), but feel free to experiment.

Included Instruments:
(The M in front signifies that these are Multi-sampled instruments)

• MFluteDeep — Deep, dark breathy flute
• MGuitar_Long — Bright, sustained guitar, great when you set keypad sensitivity to LO
• MOboe — Delightful oboe/flute hybrid with infinite sustain
• MOrchestra_Deep — Strong, powerful brass orchestra
• MOrchestra_Vox — Orchestra layered with mixed choir
• MOrchestra1L — Wind orchestra with infinite sustain
• MOrchestra2_Deep — Deep, cinematic orchestra
• MPiano — Bright piano, excellent with reverb. Use with "Lo" Pad volume curve for better control.
• MPianoFM — Subtle, FM-styled piano. Great where a normal piano is just too specific.
• MRhode1 — Rhodes-style organ with added growl notes
• MRhode2 — Rhodes-style organ, mellow and smooth
• MSawFM — FM saw synth with infinite sustain
• MSax_Tenor — Mellow, breathy tenor saxophone
• MStringsSuS — String orchestra with infinite sustain
• MSynthDistort — Distorted saw synth
• MSynthFM — Bell-like FM synth
• MXwave — Expressive legato synth that transforms into a frozen wave with infinite sustain. By adjusting the sample start point in TRIM, you can create unique character; responds especially well to the Phase effect. Try playing fast with overlapping notes.
