03In depth

Sound Character and Source Recording

Native Instruments describes the sounds as recorded from a mix of live instruments, classic hardware and boutique effects. The sounds were then resampled to tape or hardware samplers, which the developer presents as the source of the pack's vintage warmth and soul.

The pack covers several sound types in one place: chords, keys, drums and textures. That makes it usable as a starting kit for building a full lo-fi arrangement, with each element sharing the same recorded character.

Who Faded Reels Is For

Faded Reels is aimed at producers making laid-back, soulful and nostalgic music. Its lo-fi focus suits beat-based production where a worn, warm texture is the goal rather than clean, modern sound.

The pack requires MPC software or a standalone MPC running version 3.4 or later. Producers working outside the MPC ecosystem will need a different library.
