01Overview

Leap Expansion - Progressive Trance is built around the sounds that drive the genre: euphoric synths, driving basslines and gated pads. The collection is aimed at producers who want material for immersive, high-energy progressive trance arrangements. Native Instruments describes Leap as a set of playful performance tools, including pitch twists, warp effects and loop slicing, meant to encourage happy accidents during the creative process. The pack runs inside Kontakt, so it works within a familiar instrument environment.

Loops and sound content for progressive trance

The collection's content is weighted toward synth material. It includes 24 synth chord loops, 18 synth pad loops, 62 miscellaneous synth loops and 4 synth arpeggio loops, along with 29 bass loops. Supporting material includes ambience, percussion, SFX, vocal and piano loops, plus a single drum loop.

Because the bulk of the content is harmonic and rhythmic synth material, the pack suits producers who need chord progressions, moving basslines and textural pads to build the body of a track rather than a full drum kit.
