Native Instruments has introduced Platinum Bounce (http://www.native-instruments.com/platinumbounce), an uS$59 Maschine Expansion featuring a toolbox for producers working in the area of contemporary urban club music.

For use with Maschine or Maschine Mikro, Platinum Bounce was created by music producers and sound designers and elivers kits, instruments and pre-programmed rhythms for producers of hip-hop, dirty south beats, RnB, crossover club anthems and any other type of urban-based popular music. Forty-five different kits provide a selection of drum sounds, as well as eight melodic kits containing harmonic one shots and effects.

In addition, the 54 instruments of Platinum Bounce feature pads, leads, keys, organs, and basses, with many of them derived directly from classic synths such as the Minimoog, Oberheim SEM, and Jupiter-6, among others. All kits and instruments, pre-programmed rhythms and projects serve as starting points for new tracks, or inspiration for up-to-date remixes.
