Stylus RMX is an innovative software plug-in instrument that integrates a massive core library of thousands of cutting-edge groove elements, loops and samples, with a powerful user interface for creating grooves. It combines the power of Groove Control with Spectrasonics' Advanced Groove Engine (S.A.G.E.) technology giving users dramatic control over groove production and performance.
A massive new 7.4GB core-library in Stylus RMX has thousands of cutting-edge grooves and sounds that were created by Spectrasonics' sound design team and they offer a much wider range of modern musical genres than the original Stylus. Mixes of grooves are broken down into individual tracks called Elements for flexibility and infinite combinations. Additionally, the software ships with thousands of Kit modules, as well as user Kit construction. The sound menus have over 10,000 new single hits, all arranged in organized categories. Users can create their own customized multi-track remix grooves and kits, save them into the plug-in, and even share them with other users on different platforms and hosts.
Each groove in Stylus RMX is presented in S.A.G.E. activated versions that allows for changing the pitch, tempo, feel and pattern independently without using any DSP. Since every groove can be mixed and matched at any tempo or feel, there are literally endless combination possibilities. Or grooves can also be programmed from scratch using thousands of edgy drum samples. Over a thousand wild turntable FX and DJ tricks are included, as well as a live percussion loop section. Groove Control also provides the tools to randomize the accents of a loop, or to turn a conga loop into a melodic part for instance. Other possibilities include radical filter sequencing, tweaking the tuning of just a snare, or filtering just kicks, panning each slice in a different part of the stereo field, each all inside the loop.
One of the most innovative features in Stylus RMX is the Chaos Designer. With simple controls, the user can introduce musical "chaos" into the groove, which allows it to have constantly evolving variations, giving the impression that the audio grooves are improvising. The results can be subtle or extreme by setting the simple to use controls. A Capture feature allows the spontaneous audio chaos patterns to be made into a MIDI file, dragged and dropped into the host sequencer, and played back again for further editing by the user.
