Three new sample libraries are available from Cluster Sound: Minimal Darq, Minimal Torsion, and Micromal GBox. All three are ideal for minimal and techy-based music productions, so be prepared to get ur darq on.

The Minimal Darq (19.95 EUR) sound pack is specifically designed for minimal productions. The 600 MB library consists of construction loops, synth sequences, dark spacepads, glitch and grain loops, spectral voices, unusual percussive patterns, and more. If you want to do more with these loops than go minimal, you can simply change the genre of your track by combining the loops from the different categories. Get creative; mix and match loops to achieve anything from dark minimal to punchy electro or micro-tech.

Like the other library, Minimal Torsion (19.95 EUR) is also meant for minimal music. With sounds created from various distortion and saturation techniques, this 560 MB library is comprised of construction loops, broken synth sequences, micro-distorted percussive loops, grained low-frequency loops, digital and analog noises, and Moog Sonic 6 loops. All material was sampled from analog and DSP sources, distortions, and filters.

Micromal GBox (14.95 EUR), a sample-based drum instrument made from a soupy mixture of Ableton plugins and effects, turns Ableton Live into a a minimal, techy groovebox. Also known as a LivePack, Micromal GBox includes 150 instrument presets, 30 Live Clips, 30 MIDI loops, and 315 WAV samples organized in 8 drum categories: Kick, Snare, Low Beat, Synth, Glitch, Percussion, Hi Freqency, and Hhat.
