This month, we focus on the rhythm section.  We have a host of new drums samples and a heaping helping of bass sounds, both electric and electronic.   You will find a batch of DS-404 patches all ready to use, all mapped and edited.  The drum kit is mapped to General MIDI note numbers, so you will find that they will work well with any MIDI file that adheres to the GM standard.  Speaking of MIDI files, we have a hundred of the little suckers pre-rolled and ready to import into your favorite MIDI sequencer.  These were designed to work with the provided DS-404 bass patches, and many of them have the appropriate DS-404 patch referenced in their names.  Of course, you will want to experiment with other sounds and transpositions, too.  For some extra spice, try adding tempo-sync'ed delays to some of the sounds while the sequences play.  You'll be in ambient heaven!
