The 2nd edition of the well-loved series “8 Bit Family” is here, jam-packed with vintage videogame tones, loops, multi-samples and sound effects.

In 2003, Discovery released “8BIT FAMILY” – a classic sample CD-ROM stuffed to the gills with sounds of the old videogames. It has since become notorious the world over, received unanimous acclaim and even been crowned the “KEY BUY AWARD” by US KEYBOARD magazine in its July ’03 issue.

Due to overwhelming demand and as a direct response to the feedback generated by the 1st edition, “8BIT FAMILY 2” has now been delivered. “8BIT FAMILY 2” contains over 530MB of 16-bit, 44.1 kHz recordings in Acidized WAV, REX2, KONTAKT, BATTERY and RNS (REASON3.0.4) formats. Its standout feature is without a doubt its convenient and comprehensive range of “Construction Kits”…

The main bulk of the 55 included kits enable users to produce interesting, complete compositions via a combination of Drum Loops, Bass Loops, Synth Loops and Vox Loops. The process of accessing and manipulating these files is made simple via the inclusion of a table of contents with the sample CD, as well as some helpful Battery and Kontakt programs. Minimal fuss – maximum music!

To sum up: this new edition contains multi-format samples in a wide variety of styles and tempos to help expand the user’s production environment. All you need is a MIDI keyboard, and you’ll be cooking up crazy creations within minutes! “8BIT FAMILY 2” is not restricted to those who only like dance music beats – its samples and sounds work well with all genres.

Pick up this comprehensive and well-put together package of vintage videogame sounds today, and relive those classic nerdy moments in your music compositions!
