Customizable kits

Overall you get 20 massive construction kits each provided with two playback algorithms (standard resample for the best audio quality and PSTS from the S.T.R.E.T.C.H engine to sync to the host tempo) for a total of 40 presets. Each kit preset uses the 8 SampleTank macro knobs for instant control of separate HP and LP Filters, a mastering EQ, FET compression and studio plate reverb along with a third resonant LP Filter on the mod wheel for real-time performance.

Each construction kit includes the full mix, music mix and drum mix along with all the individual stems from the multitrack production. You’ll find the full mix on C1, the drum stem on C# and the “music stem” (everything but the drums) on D1. Then you have all of the individual tracks as stems on the remaining notes going up the keyboard chromatically. Starting with kick, then snare, then the next drum and percussion instruments followed by the bass, and finally all the additional pitched stems. This gives you the control you need to build your own songs using just some of the stems from the construction kit, and dropping loops in and out as you please for instant arrangements.

The Code Volume 2: Urban R&B Edition is custom-tailored to work perfectly with SampleTank, with its full effects available on the Effects panel for further tone-shaping and customization. All parts are separated and include key and tempo so you can easily mix and match for almost unlimited combinations. When you need that perfect radio-ready chord progression, strings, drum sample, 808, synth sound, or hit melody this will be a product you will turn to.

Curated content, superior sound

There are no throwaway or B/C list sounds in The Code Volume 2: Urban R&B Edition. This is the A-List content hand-picked from a much larger batch of content to ensure you get the best. All the sounds were processed through over 1 million dollars of outboard gear to give you a sonically superior product. Industry-leading converters, outboard FX, filters and processors were used to make this product one of a kind.
