One year later, same city, different location. Music ALIVE 2010 hosted at the Hilton in Rotterdam by Media Satellite.
The location was very nice and well set up. At the entrance everyone got an Ableton goodie bag, with the obligatory promo pamflets, keychords, other goodies, but also a Dance Tunes voucher to download two tracks for free. Which is always nice of course!
The Nord Classics is a massive addition to the Nord Sample Library. The addition contains more than 370 samples with classic Nord sounds, from the original Nord Lead 2X, Nord Lead 3 and Nord Modular G2X. All the samples in the library are available for free to Nord users.
The addition to the big Nord Sample Library is a perfect fit for the Electro 3 user who wants classic synthesizer sounds to go along with the already much appreciated organ and piano sounds. Or why not se them in the Nord Wave as the foundation for new, great synthesizer sounds.
