Cyclick Samples - Cartoon Capers Volume 1 [24Bit WAV] -Sin

I’ve created three theme sets: 60s Orchestral style, 60s/70s Beat Combo style, and
another 70s/80s style. The theme kits are all loop collections, with a set of lines
for each instrument or instrument group in three keys – A, C and E – at two or
three tempos. These loops also include full or partial mixes, with an alternate
‘bad’ mix to mimic the degeneration as the cartoon made its way across formats, from
film to VHS.

The 60s Orchestral theme set is made from sample-based instruments and includes high
woodwind (flute and piccolo), basses (double bass, tuba and bassoon), percussion (bass
drum, snare and timpani – all available separately too), pizzicato strings (violin,
viola and cellos), and of course, the xylophone.

The 60s Beat Combo themes were created with a sample-based drum kit, a palm muted
‘plucky’ bass (a Music Man StingRay), a Gretsch guitar, Hammond organ (a sampled M102
through Leslie cabinet) and a Vox Continental- style electric organ (no 60s theme is
complete without one, or a Farfisa).

The 80s theme uses the Epiphone Ripper bass, another sample-based drum kit (with
A and B variants on the beat loops), a ‘funky’ guitar (a Fender Strat with a Mu-Tron III
envelope filter), a ‘rock’ guitar (the same combo going into an overdriven 80s Marshall amp),
and a Jupiter-style synth-brass – again, what 80s theme could not have that sound?!

The 80s themes are slathered in cheesiness. As with all the loops here, they start life in
one context, but who knows where they may find a use?
