Leap Expansion - House Grooves is a Kontakt expansion pack from Native Instruments with loops and one shots for house production, covering drums, bass, synths, percussion and vocals.
Leap Expansion - House Grooves is built around punchy drums, hypnotic synth parts, chopped textures and deep basslines. Native Instruments describes the pack as blending raw house grit with modern bass energy. It is part of the Leap Expansions line, which focuses on pitch, speed and slicing controls for performing with loops. The pack was created in collaboration with Lenny De Luca and Luis Da Silva, the producer and DJ duo behind Leonardo Das Cabrio.
The pack totals about 317 MB and is organized into loops and one shots. The loop set is the larger part, with 52 drum loops, 29 bass loops, 20 percussion loops, 11 synth loops, 11 synth pad loops, 11 vocal loops, 9 piano and keys loops, 5 SFX loops, and a single strings loop.
The one shot set adds 3 drum hits, 5 SFX hits, 2 synth hits and 1 vocal hit, which can be used to fill gaps or add accents on top of the loops.
Leap Expansion - House Grooves requires Kontakt. The Leap line is designed around performance controls, and Native Instruments describes pitch twisting, speed warping and loop slicing as available at the press of a key, which suits live tweaking and arrangement experiments.
Because the content is loop-based, it works well as a starting point for sketching a house groove, with the drum and bass loops providing a foundation and the synth, pad and vocal loops adding texture on top.
