Dirty synth baby - We all want it. Well then, here’s a prime specimen from “Dance Floor Game”. This little bitch of a synth preset requires Vanguard, Camel Phat and Ableton Live 6+ to fire up. Preset comes as a Live Instrument Rack file. Recommended for Hard Dance, Breaks or Electro. Check out a snippet of “Dance Floor Game” below to hear this dirty synth in action.

This week I’m pleased to introduce to you VTG Prolific Electro Breakbeat Drum Kit, an Instrument Rack for Ableton Live. This second Weapon of Mass Production came about during the writing of “Prolific”, a new VTG track. It’s best used when mixed w/ an acoustic drum loop that has a hi-pass filter on it set around 400hz to add some cymbal work to the drums. Check out a snippet of “Prolific” below to hear the kit in action.
How to install and use:

- Download: VTG Prolific Electro Drum Set (167)
- Unzip and double click to install into Ableton Live
- Layer kit w/ existing acoustic loops and rock some beats

And here’s a sample of “Prolific”…

This is the first post in a series that I’m going to start called “Weapons of Mass Production”. I’ll post one weapon a week that I’ve created for a new VTG song. Today’s weapon comes to you in the form of a nasty Dubstep Bass patch I’ve created that harnesses Novation’s VStation (VST), Camel Audio’s Camel Phat (VST) and Ableton Live 7.

How to install and use:

- Download VTG Dubstep Bass Patch (187)
- Unzip and double click to install into Ableton Live
- Change the rate of the bass “wobble” by turning the LFO 1 Rate knob in Camel Phat
- Suggested: Mess w/ settings on both LFO Depth and Rate on each LFO
- Layer on top of a sub bass sound to shake the floor

And here’s a sample of a new VTG song I’m finishing up that it’s used on….
