Arpeggio Loops and Chord Coverage

The loops are built from 94 chord patterns recorded across four bars at 100 and 120 BPM. Organic Loops says they are meant to add character and movement to many styles of music.

Beyond common major and minor voicings, the pack includes open fifth chords and less common augmented, diminished and sus shapes. Sustained notes with rising and falling dynamics are also included for pads and transitions. All loops are supplied as five-bar files so the tail of each phrase is preserved.

Kontakt 5 Scripted Instrument

For Kontakt users, the library includes a scripted performance instrument. Its preset holds up to eight broken chord patterns, with key switching to change between the loaded sequences on the fly. Each loop's root key can also be changed.

The instrument includes a two-octave spread of single notes to accompany the arpeggios, plus a reverb module. It follows your DAW's tempo through Kontakt 5's tempo sync, so tempo changes do not require reloading.
