There are quite a number of film, TV and cartoon extracts as well, most so tantalisingly short that it's all but impossible to identify where they came from. Amongst the vocal hits and speech are hip, dance-type exclamations ("I cain't stop" and "Groove!", for example) and actual sung phrases, of the "ooooeeee" and "Ay-hey-yeah" variety. ![]() These patterns can be sampled and looped, or triggered via a sequencer to provide an instant rhythm track - but there is much more on these disks, such as bass sounds, vocal hits, speech and individual percussion sounds. Most prominent amongst the samples are a vast selection of breakbeats and rhythm patterns. Time & Space's Zero-G Datafiles One and Two, produced by Ed Stratton of Man Machine, contain a good proportion of the fruits of his sampling career, digitally edited, level matched, and nicely presented. During the course of the article, mention was made of sampling CDs, and here we have a couple for review.
