Huge halls. Thousands of people together. Strobe lights. Robert. Natus. Hardtechno. Paaaarty! This is what I'm going to tell you about in this hour's brief piece of news. A metal head like me is maybe allowed not to know who Robert Natus is or what exactly are the standards for a quality hardtechno. But if you're the ?party people? that you say you are, you should know everything there is about this music. And what you don't know, I will tell you.

Robert Natus hasn't slept lately but worked his mind and hands out to produce one more sensational thing: the Hardtechno vs. Schrantz sample DVD! This (must have, for the techno-producers) library is the perfect tool if you plan on switching to the real sounds of the genre. It comes loaded with no less than 40 different construction kits which will be one of your most powerful tools as you start making music.

800 pro-grade loops are waiting for your unleashed imagination while the 240 single sounds will allow you to create almost unlimited variations. While everything was made under the close survey of Robert Natus, you can be sure that all the included sounds are perfect for your Hardtechno endeavor: all the showcased sequences are true-to-the beat so you know where you're heading while the overall sounds have been specially recorded and mingled with so they will sound right from the club from the very beginning.

You can also play the 1.5GB of sample content in the included Elastik player, a tool which will give you access to features like:

?+ highspeed timestretching and pitchshifting in best quality + innovative "LoopEye" for fast loop variations + all parameters midi controllable + multiple content management + each product separately installable + mapping tools (automatic slice- & chromatic-map) + save audio of original and modified loops + creation of user presets + filter with "kill function" (-72db) + adaptable to tempos from 10 to 480 bpm + audio engine for quick adaptation + and many many more?
