Tape XX: Kontakt Loop and Drone Library by Loot Audio

Loot Audio says every sample was recorded to tape through external analog equipment, which gives the library a consistent analog-recorded character across loops, drones and sequences.

The library contains 37 live drum loops and 54 electronic drum loops, so you can mix organic and programmed rhythm sources within one instrument. The 54 drones and 44 individual sample loops cover pads, guitars, mallets, plucks, analog synths and basses, which provides material for both rhythmic and atmospheric layers.

Each sample comes with its own tempo-synced Kontakt NKI file. The NKI files include ADSR settings, so you can load a sample and start working without building the envelope from scratch.

Because the instrument runs inside Kontakt, you need the full version of NI Kontakt 5.7.1 or above. The free Kontakt Player will not load it. Tape XX is a good fit for producers who want loop-based source material that sits well alongside Loot Audio's synths in the same project.
