XL1
Sample CD set (2 audio CDs)

The sequel to the famous "X-Static Goldmine".  This sample CD set is important because it was the first to present the now common "Construction Kit" feature.  A construction kit is a track that contains all elements needed to create a song, from the drums to the bass, to the chords and embellishments.  All of this is headed by a brief demo to give you an example of what you can do with the samples.

XL1 continues where the X-Static Goldmine left off, offering more samples, up to date loops, and samples that weren't included in the original CDs.

From the CD cover:

"XL1 is a new concept - a brave attempt to make it easier for you to judge a sample's character, groove & feel by presenting them in unique "CONSTRUCTION KITS" as well as "the traditional way".  By giving you both these systems we believe you get a com[p]lete "Tool-Box" of Dance Samples plus freedom & flexibility to work the way that suits You the best."
