Oriental RnB is another sample library that uses Ueberschall’s Elastik engine – this works as a plug-in instrument and automatically stretches samples to your host’s tempo. The theme of the loops here is exotic RnB, with synthetic instrumentation and programmed drums. While the loops on offer are consistent enough, they’re not quite as inspirational as the samples that come with some of the other Elastik releases. What’s more, for some reason, the individual drum and instrumental loops are located in a different soundbank to the full mixes.

The German company Ueberschall has made its name as deliverer for high quality
audio material and first class samples. We already introduced the brand new Elastik Engine in an earlier edition and now the first libraries with the nice Elastik suit were released. Elastik supports VST, AU and RTAS and also comes as Stand Alone version for MAC and PC.
(...)
The quality of this library can be called excellent. The new engine gives best results, all the mixes are also seperated in its single lines and the selection works very good in darker Hip-Hop and RnB productions. Drums and basslines are just fat.
Conclusion:
Since Oriental RnB I‘m up for more Elastik libraries. A great engine with a great
interface. |

Intrigued by the name? Actually, it doesn’t describe the sound of this collection.
Although there is a whiff of funk or oriental stylings in some of the 33 main
construction kits, Middle-Eastern Pop would have been a far more appropriate name, with chapters on Bollywood Hip Hop and even Persian Rude-Boy Rap.
There are also 7 "XTRA World Mix" kits that dive into areas such as flamenco, gypsy, and polka(!). Production leans towards third-world pop—a mixture of synths and ethnic instruments with a relatively shallow sound stage. The percussion tracks are mostly a mixture of programmed kick/snare/hat underpinnings (that are either slammin’ or plodding, depending on your personal tastes), layered with what sound like live-performed ethnic loops.
(...)
The Drum Kit folder then contains breakdowns of the percussion tracks for each
construction kit, which have vocal drops and record scratches included. Aside from the traditional full mix loop, there are usually four to 16 4-bar component loops, and then a similar number of individual hits.
(...)
In short, this library sports the most variations of the three, although it is unfortunate that the instruments and drums aren’t included in the same preset banks so that you easily could jam these pieces live. |
