Overview

A five pack of authentic drums groove for Stylus RMX, from acoustic to classic funk, aggro to ethnic, and even remixes.

The S.A.G.E. Xpander Pack for Stylus RMX includes all 5 Spectrasonics drum groove Xpanders in one convenient software pack. Every Stylus RMX Real-Time Groove Module user who doesn't already own these fantastic groove libraries will want to get this special package, as it represents an extraordinary value.

The highly acclaimed grooves on these award-winning Xpanders were produced by Eric Persing and feature numerous top session drummers including Abe Laboriel Jr., Gregg Bissonette, Bob Wilson, Eric Boseman and John Ferraro. The wide range of tones and styles of the 5 Xpanders provide a versatile starting point for you to create your own authentic rhythm tracks.

The 5 Xpander packs include:
Backbeat
This Xpander features Live drumming at its purest with astounding flexibility. Four world-class drummers contributed their vast talents in some of the most famous recording studios in the world. The result is a state-of-the-art, super
Hi-Fi sound that adds a whole new dimension to what Stylus RMX can do.

The featured players include:
Gregg Bissonette (Santana, Joe Satriani, Don Henley), Bob Wilson (Liquid Grooves, George Benson, The Crusaders), John Ferraro (Larry Carlton, David Benoit, Albert Lee, Aaron Neville),
and Eric Boseman (Liquid Grooves, James Newton-Howard).

Retro Funk
Retro Funk features killer variety and groove factor from the same team of talent behind BackBeat. It's presented in the same song construction format as BackBeat, but with a dryer and more classic sound. Very versatile in many styles (not only Funk and Soul) it works incredibly well with the Stylus RMX Chaos Designer. Retro Funk incudes intros, fills, fill bars, breakdowns and separate claps, cymbals & live percussion loops too.

Liquid Grooves
Quite possibly the most versatile Xpander ever. The critically-acclaimed Liquid Grooves with SAGE technology provides an endless amount of possibilities that will be inspiring for years to come. Fluid rhythms forged by a synthesis propelling live drum grooves, unusual, organic live percussion loops, and unique ethnic sources. Works extremely well with Chaos Designer. The new Multis have to be heard to be believed.

Metamorphis
Metapmorphis features extraordinary 21st Century Grooves from acclaimed producer Eric Persing. The award-winning Metamorphosis provides a vast array of highly creative remix grooves that defy description. It's great for any projects that require cutting edge sound with timeless grooves. It also mixes naturally with the Stylus RMX core library and has a large selection of suites to build your own remixes. Like his famous Distorted Reality series, Metamorphosis is a testament to Persing's inimitable style.
