Nov 26 - 12:37 PM | Virtual Instrument > Producer Loops |
As usual this Producer Loops library is bursting full of features. Read on to find out more!
MIDI Loops:
Over 80 MIDI loops are included across all five kits, allowing you to use the melodic phrases in this pack with your favourite synths or samplers. Play them back at any tempo or pitch without glitching as these files contain note data only.
Dry/Wet Versions:
Dry versions of most loops are provided to allow you to create your own FX mix using reverbs and delays of your choice. Or, if you prefer to just drag and drop, the wet/effected versions are ready to use as-is.

Molten is designed to be a flexible pattern based rhythm step-sequencer. Unlike traditional step-sequencers that have a fixed step size of typically 16 or 32 steps, Molten has a dividable step size. This flexibility allows for the easy creation of tuplet-based rhythms.
Unlike many traditional step-sequencers that have a fixed or box based time signature (usually 4/4), Molten features a flexible time signature. The power of Molten lies in its grid layout - vertically you can see as many as eight instrument parts running simultaneously. Horizontally you can have anywhere from one beat on a single page to 16 beats over four pages. With Molten it is possible to divide any beat into as many as nine pieces, and this is where things become interesting.
