Specifications:

• The Download contains 100 loops in the REX2 (245 MB), Stylus RMX (248 MB), Apple Loop (82 MB) and ACIDized Wav (140 MB) and Wav (119 MB) formats (all file sizes are compressed .zip format).
• The REX2, Stylus RMX, ACIDized Wav and Wav loops are organized into 10 “Beat Suites”. Each Beat Suite contains a full-mix beat, a full-mix beat without the kick, a full-mix beat without the snare, percussion/hi-hat mix and a loop for each individual instrument from the full-mix. Individual folders containing solo loops of kicks, kick 4xs, snares, hi-hats, percussion, hi-hat/percussion mixes and tonal fx have also been created for quick and unique beat creation from the ground up.
• The Action Drum Apple Loops have been tagged for quick and easy loop identification.
• Using the Action Drum One Hundred loops within Stylus RMX requires the user to drag-and-drop only one folder into RMX’s included S.A.G.E.™ Converter.
• Suggested tempos have been given to each suite, but as part of the BPM Flex Series, every loop can be used at virtually any tempo while retaining their feel and groove.

Action Drums retails for $9.99.

Nine Volt Audio has released Beat Bandit, a modular REX-based loop library of electronic drums and rhythms.

Beat Bandit grooves are designed to be appropriate for a wide range of musical genres. Every element of each full-mix loop is broken into individual loops so users can mix and match parts to create their own customized beats.

Beat Bandit is part of the BPM Flex Series, which means tempos are unrestrained and can be used at virtually any BPM without artificial stretching or unwanted audio artifacts.

Beat Bandit: Hans Scheffler Edition is now available on DVD-ROM or as a download for $79.99 Read more…
