RE: the portishead track
A lot of DnB and trip-hop, and bigbeat use Recycled drum loops. They are loops sliced into individual hits within Recycle, a Steinberg product.The groove and feel as well as tempo can be shifted. This gives the drums a strange unnatural sound that can't be created with a straight loop or individual hit strung togethter with a sequencer. The reason is because the ghost of one hit may be carried over to another and when the loop is stretched or shortend these artifacts change the sound of the loop because of gaps or overlaps respectivly. recycle CD roms are cheap and full of good patterns of all styles. Also REX files work in Cubase flawlesly, but to create your own you would need to buy Recycle.Recycle also supports many samplers and will generate a preset for the sampler, and a midi file for the sequencer to play the file back.
