Metallicon
by T.G.ViRUS(Form inspired by Blank! Thanx!)
"A mod for all freaks, who like distorted guitars, pads and funky (drum)loops!
Combined with some drum samples taken out from 'Rammstein' -Trax,
pump it up!" T.G.ViRUS
Metallicon system requirements
The original ReBirth RB-338 system requirements apply, with the following exceptions:
-32 MB RAM (buy now cheap SIMMs/DIMMs, it's worth for)
-Switch to tousands of colors (will not run in 256 color mode)
-Some heavy speakers
-...and some 'Metall' or funky thoughts!
Description of Metallicon-Drumkit
BD1: Original bassdrum filtered out from the 'Rammstein' song 'Sehnsucht', pumped it up
with +6db! I've also added some reverb.SN1: Ups, this is not a snare! I placed here a claps sample and added some reverb into.
SN2: A gated powersnare.
SN3: Again a sample from 'Rammstein'. Snare combined with a followed close hihat.
SN4: Techno/House snaredrum
SN5: 'Natural' snaredrum.
Snappy samples are identical with the 'Poisoner' ones! Thanx Darth Fred-erGT1: The heart of Metallicon. A muted distorted guitarchord! Tuneable from C to E. Recorded with my own LAG guitar, distortion and delay generated from a Zoom 9000!
GT2: 2nd Heart. The 'open' distorted guitarchord! Also tuneable from C to E. Use both GTs for fine guitar lines!
PD1+PD2: Two identical pads (with flanger FX) for ambient songs or whatever! Switch between the two pads (like crossfade) for sober and clean pads without clicks and clacks! Tuneable from C to E in Moll. Check this samples out with PCF!
LP1: Puahh! This one is really funky! I found a cool old guitar lick (You know Bee-Gees?). Again tuneable from C to E ...or from 120-151 BPM! This one rules with PCF!
LP2: Funky breakbeat loop! 120-151 BPM! Sounds nice , when you play this one in the
background! ...or play loud naked ;-)BD2: Hmmm, not really an new one! The fact is, I took it from the PBE-Poisoner (BD3). Thanx again to Fred, but this bassdrum still blows up my speakers, absolutely awesome ....bummm....bummm....bummm!
HH: An open high hat combined with little delayed close high hat! Because I like the idea to program sequences together with the 'CH' sample! (Polyphonic!)
FX1: A vinyl scratch loop (120 BMP) for additional groove!
FX2: And the end for FX1. Added some reverb for more ambient feeling.FX3: I'm sure you heard already this sample anywhere! I really like this mystery scream out from the dark! Rammstein, Rexanthony, Corona, Yello, Area 51, etc. used this sample in their tracks! Added a little bit of echo.....Check!
CR: Like Blank says: 'Hard to describe. It's... a crash.' Any question?
OH: A uppitched open high hat! I think, you know how it sounds ;-)
CH: Closed high hat. Have you ever heard a track from 'Technotronic'? Then you have heard the hat! Really cool one!
All graphics done with Corel Photo-Shop 8 without such tools like KAI's Powertools or so..(no offence ;-) ) and without some degrees calculations! Samples edited with CoolEdit (damn easy to use!) Samples were taken from different samples CDs like Zero-G and Technophobia, from the outstanding PBE mod and from my own homestudio!
Greetings to: DJ X-CeSS, DJ Rich-Y, ACiD MoTHER, Joy!Peff, Fredrik 'Blank' and P-Headz,
Caveman, Mute, Miraculix, etc.... (sorry, endless list here!)
And to my lovely girlfriend Céline........
