A complex & well organised sample collection featuring over 2700 premium sounds, painstakingly produced and selected. Packed with over 1000 of the phattest, fruitiest club oriented drums, basses, breakbeats, synth sounds, cutted vocals, amazing electro sounds / drums, chords, a massive effect section (+360) and 575 totally fresh floor filling kick-free-loops never heard before!
This CD covers a wide spectrum of Dance genres including Trance, Techno, Hardstyle, Electro and Progressive styles.
The huge variety of samples is clearly categorised into folders. Loops are provided with bpm information (140 bpm) and tonal sounds assigned to their root keys. Overall simplified access for direct use. WAV format offers all music software users endless possibilities of application. The CD is of equal interest to both PC and Mac users and includes EXS24 and Kontakt 2/3 files as bonus material which simplifies loading into the common (software) samplers. Each single bass/acid/synth sample has been mapped to an instrument and can instantly be played over the keyboard.
Club Revolution Vol 1 offers everything you need for the next floorfiller and will lift your production to the next level. Setting a true benchmark in terms of sound and sample quality.
German sound wizard ´Oliver Schmitt´ the man behind the famous "REVOLUTION" soundset series brings to you ´Club Revolution Vol 1´. He continuously offers online up-to-date soundsets on his popular platform: www.sounds-of-revolution.com. Oliver Schmitt already has a massive praise and support from the most influential Dance Music producers on the planet including Tiesto, Nic Chagall (Cosmic Gate), BT, Markus Schulz, Headstrong, Martin Roth, DJ Shah & The Thrillseekers to name but a few !
"Here we don`t have only programs, where you can audio test the same
samples via the keyboard - added are real playable programs for each single
tonal sound. Considering the frame of possibilities this is real luxury.
[...] Club Revolution can now compete with top dog Mutekki [...] Oliver
Schmitt sets a course regarding the sound: His samples sound even a bit
rougher and cooler than the ones of Mutekki - a good alternative or
supplement. Try it out! (Sound & Recording magazine 11/2008)"
"Especially impressing are the experimental- and kick-free-loops, that can be
used particularly well as add-on-beats. [...] The samples are not just
filtered major-beats, but sound transparent and clear. Sometimes electronic
sterile, then again organic warm, all frequenzy areas are being served from
the lower middles to the heights. [...] In addition Schmitt has got a
variety of single sounds for his library in order to compose also individual
beats. [...] Very good sounding sounds, that are also interesting for all
kinds of genres. (Professional Audio Magazine 11/2008)"
"Oliver Schmitt, mastermind behind the renowned sound forge "Sounds Of
Revolution" already could make an excellent name for himself as a designer
for sound supplies for Synthesizer like JP-8000, Virus or also Nordlead. Now
his first Loop-CD is being awaited and promises a lot: Already when first
playing the drum-, bass-, breakbeat-, synth- and effect libraries one is
enthusiastic about the solid sound and the thereby high assertiveness of the
material. Here one never feels just to get one more "filling material", all
loops seem to be original and perfectly conditioned. A novelty are also the
contained 575 no-kick-loops! High recommendation!
Rating 5,5 / 6 - Recommendation of the editorial staff (BEAT - magazine
12/2008)"
"This CD is a serious contender for the best hard dance sample CD we’ve ever heard. [..] Oliver Schmitt has done his job well, crafting over 2,700 unique samples, all of which sound wide, deep, punchy and ready for use in cutting-edge dance music." - Rating: 9/10

DJ TIESTO: "Not just loops with kicks filtered off, full spectrum! Big sounds, revolutionary and unique in it´s kind."
NIC CHAGALL (Cosmic Gate): "[...] marks a new milestone in sound design. It´s the most inspiring sample cd I have ever encountered! [...] CR1 is so much better than the standard sample libraries with their boring ripped content and it rocks in ways that other developers can only dream of. Revolutionary !
BLANK & JONES: "[...] Even the kick free loops are not just low cutted, they are just programmed without the Kick, leaving the sound spectrum untouched! This gives you much more opportunities and they are fitting perfectly into your sound context."
SOUNDS OF REVOLUTION - Expect the Unexpected !
Format: WAV 16 bit, 44.1 kHz , Stereo
___________
LOOP-DETAIL: The 575 kick-free-loops are categorised in: Electro / Tonal / Rough / Experimental und Main. You definitely won´t find any ripped drumloop where only the bassdrum is cut etc. These loops encompass the whole frequency spectrum and contain loop variations for the perfect song climax. Of course, only the required loop length was bounced - not longer ;-)

ContentsDownload free Sample PackMusic Tech 12/2008Computer Music 11/2008The value of a good samples pack can often be judged on three things: the quality of the sounds, the amount that they inspire, and the ease with which you can incorporate the sounds into your own
tracks.
German sound wizard Oliver Schmitt spent nearly a year painstakingly creating all of the sounds and loops for his first sample pack, Club Revolution Vol. 1, which easily ticks all these boxes. The pack covers drums, basses, synths, more than 550 kick-free loops and a massive collection of extremely usable effects. The main samples comprise 650MB of 16-bit, 44.1kHz WAVs. While this may not match other packs recorded at 24-bit resolution, it allows for twice as much content – and the sound quality is excellent. Also included are 522 patches for Kontakt and EXS, which map every single sample and loop to the
keyboard.
This really is a professional pack made by a producer for a producer, and this is backed up by the long list of testimonials from cutting-edge artist who are fans of Oliver’s work. There’s no hand-holding either: what you get are hundreds of individual hits, sweeps and loops that you can incorporate into any style of electronic music. Oliver clearly understands exactly what kinds of sounds make up a complete dance track and has covered every single base with staggering variety. The only drawback is that, with so many quality samples on offer, you’ll find it hard to decide which ones to
use.
Verdict: An essential toolkit for anyone writing electronic music.

Although it claims to be aimed at a wide spectrum of dance genres, you`ll find the 140bpm loops and tough single hits particularly suited to hard trance, hardstyle, hard house, hardcore, and probably just about anything else you could stick the word "hard" in front of. This is a serious contender for the best hard dance sample CD we`ve ever heard. The sounds lend themselves more towards trance-based genres than house. Either way, Oliver Schmitt has done his job well, crafting over 2,700 unique samples, all of which sound wide, deep, punchy and ready for use in cutting-edge dance music.
