Just like jazz and rock, blues has been accused of being the "Devil's music" and of inciting violence and other poor behavior. Now, we wouldn't want to agitate any such despicable conduct, but rest assured, the undeniable rhythm of blues drummer Hans Lindbäck and the latest addition to the Toontrack MIDI collection - Blues MIDI - will involuntarily get your heart pumping, your fingers aching and your head bobbing.

With the included breaks, fills and full 12 bar groove variations in different tempos, feels and time signatures, propelling your music to a smoky bar stage and giving it a truly authentic impossible-to-program live touch has never been quicker, easier or more rewarding.

After proving itself as a rehearsal studio for different groups and musicians and also having received a few schools that were able to attend technical recordings and mixes, FPC has been completely redesigned and developed to become FPC PROJECT STUDIO. Christophe Giraudon, Project Manager was very keen to provide a recording space with good acoustics to allow musicians to benefit from a stereo image (and even quad) which is extremely important during recording sessions. The concept of the Studio is to provide a recording space assisted by an artist.

Francis Rimbert, an internationally recognised musician (Jean-Michel Jarre and others) will be your coach and will attend all of your sessions! Furthermore, Francis will read your musical project and will also make available his personal collection of synthesizers, drum machines and sound banks. In the field of computer music, you will have access to the best software: Reason, Arturia, Spectrasonics and various emulations of vintage synths.
