Leap Expansion - Millennium HipHop: Kontakt Hip Hop Loops and Kits

The pack includes 160 sounds in total, made up of 10 kits and 160 loops. The loops cover a broad mix of ingredients. Drums and percussion make up the largest share with 86 loops, followed by 28 synth and keys loops, 19 orchestral loops, 10 bass loops, 8 guitar loops, 5 vocal loops and 4 sound effect loops.

Because the material is organized into construction kits and loops rather than single instruments, it works well as a starting point for building a beat from scratch or for pulling individual parts into an existing project.

Native Instruments describes Leap as a set of tools for bending loops in real time. Producers can twist pitch, warp speed and slice loops from the keyboard, with playful performance effects intended to encourage unexpected results.

The approach suits producers who want to chop and rework loops rather than play them straight, especially when chasing the rhythmic looseness associated with the late 90s and early 00s sound.
