“Eight days to go – we need the community more than ever.”
eJay Pure, a touchscreen reimagining of the classic PC music creation software, is today giving away 100 free music samples to everyone who visits the official Kickstarter page.
The samples, which can be used in any PC, Mac or mobile remix software, have been made available to celebrate the title reaching its second milestone on the popular crowd-funding site: smashing through the £20,000 barrier only four days after it hit £10,000.
“The momentum is gathering,” says Leo Zullo, managing director of Wired Productions, the developer bringing this revered remix software to touchscreens, “and we’re delighted to offer this second set of 100 samples free to everyone to celebrate our milestone.”
“But we do need people to spread the word. With eight days to go, we have a lot of ground to make up – but we will keep pushing hard.”
In 1996, the original eJay empowered PC users to create their own original music tracks from a vast selection of samples, beats, riffs and effects. The simple drag and drop interface allowed users to concentrate on their compositions rather than wrestle with a complicated interface – and resulted in spectacular tunes which could easily be compared to commercial releases.
eJay Pure will put the power of eJay into the hands of everyone. Functionality will be redesigned from the ground up to fully utilize the benefits of touchscreen technology. Users will be able to effortlessly drag and drop samples into their musical soundscapes, creating original music tracks on the fly.
For the very first time, eJay Pure will expand its musical soundpacks to include indie and rock alongside its traditional dance, hip hop and techno offerings.
Rewards include downloadable copies of eJay PC titles, exclusive eJay Pure merchandise – and even the opportunity to record your own song for inclusion within the final version.
In addition, everyone who pledges – at whatever level – will be able to download 1,000 brand new samples exclusive only to Kickstarter supporters.
Fans can pledge their support for eJay Pure for as little as £1.
