REV X-Loops Crossgrade is a Kontakt-based instrument from Output, offered as a crossgrade for owners of a full copy of Output REV or Output Signal. It is built around the REV loops engine on its own, paired with new loop content, presets and snapshots.

Loop Library and Sound Character

Output says its sound designers recorded live instruments, field recordings and analog gear, then flipped and processed much of it in reverse. The library contains 2GB of uncompressed, multi-layered loops across more than 20 categories. Categories include Pretty Organic, Muted Pianos, Violin Plucks, Clean and Dirty Atmospheric, Swells, Rise and Repeat, Bells and Harps, Aggressive, Sound Design, Fat and Low, Drum Set, Analog Drums High and Low, Industrial, Stomps and Claps, and Tribal Beat.

The loops are organized so that drums, tonal textures and effects can be browsed by character rather than by file name.

Playing Loops and Working With the FX

Every loop auto-maps to a MIDI keyboard and is tempo locked, so loops stay in sync with your project. The key of any loop can be changed easily, which helps when matching loops to a track's harmony.

The FX section includes Stutter, Reverb, Delay, EQ, Rage, Lo-Fi and more, with over 50 FX presets and snapshots. Effects can be triggered from a MIDI keyboard, so you can apply stutters and filter moves during a performance.

Questions, answered

What do I need to run REV X-Loops Crossgrade?

REV X-Loops Crossgrade requires Kontakt. It is compatible with both the full version of Kontakt and the free Kontakt Player, version 5.8.1 or higher. Native Access is required to activate Kontakt-based instruments.

Which operating systems does it support?

It supports Windows and macOS. Output lists Mac OS X 10.12 or higher and Windows 7 or higher as minimum requirements, with at least 4 GB of RAM and at least 8 GB of free drive space.

Do I need REV to use REV X-Loops?

No. Output says REV X-Loops is a separate engine that does not require REV to run, although it is designed as a partner to REV. The crossgrade is for customers who already own a full copy of REV or Signal and must submit proof of purchase.
