Sound Palette and Preset Categories

The pack is split into clear categories: 21 pluck presets, 15 bass presets, 15 pad presets, 5 FX presets, 5 keys presets and 3 lead presets, alongside 64 Serum presets in total.

Loopmasters describes the sounds as dusty tones, with rich basses, fluttering FX, wide pads and lo-fi leads. The pluck and pad categories make up the largest share of the collection, so they are a good place to start when building chords and textures under a beat.

Loops, MIDI and Workflow

Each of the 64 presets comes with a matching MIDI file and a 64-file set of WAV loops rendered from the presets and MIDI. All included loops are set at 94 BPM, which fits a relaxed hip-hop tempo.

The audio is recorded at 24-bit, 44.1kHz, and the pack totals 139 MB. Because the loops are rendered, you can drop them straight into a session to hear the patches in context before you adjust them in Serum.
