Sore, a Kontakt instrument library that delivers truly unique and inspiring sounds right out of the box. The cinematic loop module includes 350 different kits that can be played in tandem across four categories: Bass, Melody, Ambience and Groove. These kits are built using the included 1.300 (unencrypted) 24-bit WAV files. All loops can be played polyphonically timestretched within a range of two octaves (24 semitones). Each part has it´s own color-coded range on the keyboard. You can alternatively play the loops sliced using the “SLICE” button in the sequencer pages. There are special MIDI trigger keys/notes that enable you to retrigger a currently playing slice (when a sequencer is turned on) or to trigger a volume “trancegate” per part.

Studio guru delivers a loop based production video tutorial series!

Kenny welcomes you and then plays the track you’ll be producing together, followed by how to expand the included .zip file, readying your DAW for importing loops, and setting the main song tempo. Then it’s onto the first loop, which is a piano loop, where Kenny uses elastic audio to make the loops match to the song’s tempo, with the highest quality sound possible. Kenny is using Pro Tools for this series, but many other DAWs have similar ways to stretch, warp and adjust loops as well, so you can apply what Kenny shows you to your DAW. Next, you’ll see how to add a variety of loops such as kick drums, claps, hi-hats, tambourine, shaker, synths, bass and more, so that they all work together rhythmically and melodically, creating a solid groove for your song.
