    Keith McMillen Instruments SoftStep: Treading Lightly in a Big Way
    Tools and Hardware Foot controllers are really very useful devices in taming a lot of rigs including both software- and hardware-based ones. They do, however, offer a bit of challenge during transport as they tend to be bulky. They also add in a significant amount of weight to your baggage. The Keith McMillen Instruments SoftStep is an alternative to bulky foot controllers in a package that weighs about just a pound.

    Featured last Winter NAMM 2010, SoftStep boasts of being the most versatile foot controller in existence. It is a lightweight foot controller than can fit laptop cases, and has 10 assignable keys. The good part about those keys is that they are not simple on/off switches; they offer five degrees of freedom.

    Loopmasters Vintage Breaks Vol. 1: Vintage Electronic Dance Rhythmics
    Electronic Music To bring out something new, one has to look into something old. That statement is universal; so universal in fact that it's cliché. No matter how cliché that statement gets, the principle of it is used every day and is evident in today's music trends. As far as electronic dance music is concerned, the love for anything vintage hasn't ceased as evidenced by the new Loopmasters Vintage Breaks Vol. 1.

    Vintage Breaks Vol. 1 was developed by Loopmasters content partner Industrial Strength as a sample library that features early electronic dance music breaks. This is a collection of breaks derived from a 1960s Ludwig drum kit similar to the one used in the famous "Amen" break.

    Realsamples English Spinet II - Edition Beurmann
    Electronic Music Edition Beurmann from Realsamples is in the business of bringing the sounds of authentic historical instruments into the digital realm. As such, almost everybody can get to enjoy playing the sounds of a period-authentic instrument for a more-or-less authentic-sounding performance. Another harpsichord library has been extracted out of Professor Andreas Beurmann's collection and brought to life through Realsamples English Spinet II.

    If Stradivarius is a name for the finest violins ever made, 18th-century builder Benjamin Slade is the harpsichord equivalent. It is unfortunate though that only one of Benjamin Slade's instruments has managed to survived in this day and age. English Spinet II preserves such an instrument through digital means for present and future generations of instrumentalists to enjoy.

ToadWorks Fat City packs in a lot of weight for the guitar.

    Motion Samples 80's Drum Beatz: Bringing Impact Bigger Than Big Hair
    Electronic Music Mullets, pompadour, headbands, shoulder pads, Miami Vice, Hair Metal, New Wave, the Shredder boom, etc. could be easily traced back to the 1980s. One of the most identifiable aspects of the music from the 1980s is characterized by the distinctly digital sound of drum beats emanating from electronic drums, drum machines, drum triggers, and similar devices. The most distinct components of such beats were the snare drum and artificial clap sounds that ran rampant during that era, and Motion Samples 80's Drum Beatz is a recollection of the glory from the 1980s.

    ToadWorks PipeLine Harmonic Vibrato/Tremolo Pedal
    Tools and Hardware It can be argued by some guitarists that the tremolo effect, as popularized by surf rock's luminaries, was the first overt guitar effect in existence. Going as far back as the 1940s, tremolo circuits have appeared in guitar amplifiers and became standard by the 50s. A variation of this tremolo effect, known otherwise as the "harmonic tremolo", was developed by Fender, ending a guitarist's envy for the rotating Leslie speaker effect long been used by organists. The ToadWorks PipeLine Harmonic Vibrato/Tremolo Pedal brings this legendary effect within just a footswitch.

    The PipeLine Harmonic Vibrato/Tremolo Pedal is proclaimed to be the world's first stereo tremolo/harmonic vibrato pedal. Its distinction is based on the fact that it can operate in stereo where such swirling effects add more depth and dimension to a guitarist's sound.
