Native Instruments has released Marble Rims, a new Maschine Expansion offering producers the “laid-back, sun-kissed flavor of classic and contemporary SoCal hip hop.” It delivers exclusive recordings from West Coast artists and producers.

Producers can choose from a palette of 40 sampled instruments ranging from SoCal staples such as analog basses and leads, electric pianos, and layered percussion, to live sampled guitar licks, one-shots and beat sequences. Benchmark keyboard instruments and synths such as the Fender Rhodes Mark 1, Hammond B3 Organ, a Minimoog Model D, and more were all sampled, then equalized using vintage EQs.

Marble Rims is available now exclusively at the NI Online Shop for US$49. Go to www.native-instruments.com/marblerims for more info.
