Notion Music RHYTHM-SECTION

The NOTION Music Sound Expansion Kits allow individual users to customize the sound library of their NOTION software. Some kits simply provide additional playing techniques for existing instruments, while other kits add completely new instruments into the mix.

"Sessions: Rhythm Section" supplements NOTION's traditional orchestral library with the sounds of a contemporary rhythm section. This kit introduces NOTION's first drum set staff, taking you directly from notation to superb quality drum set sounds performed by Roy Wooten. It features Victor Wooten on electric bass and Vernon Reid on electric guitar, providing a broad variety of techniques and dynamics. To complete the section, upright bass, Fender Rhodes electric piano, and Hohner Clavinet are also included. This kit requires NOTION / PROTÉGÉ version 1.6.1 or later (free update available).

All orchestral NOTION Music sounds were recorded at Abbey Road Studio I under the supervision of Recording Engineer Jonathan Allen. Electric bass and drum set sounds were recorded at Dark Horse Recording in Nashville, TN and guitar was recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York, NY.
