However, the drum loops section is what glues all of this together.

Again, the sound sources are predominantly electronic in nature. The one-shots are all sound hits of one sort or another, but these are also quite long with a generous reverb tail. In all three of these categories, the samples are extended in length with the textures around 10 seconds, the ambiences around 20 seconds and the atmospheres mostly running to 30-plus seconds, and some up to 60 seconds. The textures are distinctive, however, as there is lots of bleeping and spluttering of electronic вЂstuffвЂ™ going on machines at work is perhaps one way of describing this section. The sounds definitely have an electronic feel and the mood lies firmly in scary sci-fi territory. Well, for the first two of these, IвЂ™m not sure I can really tell you, but that doesnвЂ™t stop there being some really excellent вЂatmospheric ambiencesвЂ™ amongst the two groups. You might, of course, be wondering what the difference is between an ambience, atmosphere and a texture. The drum loop section is further subdivided into four tempo-based groups (90, 120, 140 and 170 bpm) and, within each of these, there are also 100 samples/loops. In each of the first four of these you get exactly 100 samples/patches. The material is divided into five sub-sections: ambiences, atmospheres, textures, one-shots and drum loops. The format of the library is, however, very straightforward and rather symmetrical.

I explored the WAV files and Kontakt patches via Cubase Pro 8. As with Electro Cinematic that I reviewed in the January 2015 issue, while this is a genre-based library, Zero-G are clearly hoping the content will appeal to music-to-picture composers as well as those involved with music-only productions. While IвЂ™m not 100 percent sure I could define exactly what distinguishes intelligent dance music (IDM) from some other forms of electronic music production, Zero-GвЂ™s Cinematic IDM library provides over 3GB of sample material aimed at that genre.
