03In depth

Sound and Character of the Textures

Robotic Bean describes the loops as unpolished, ambient and noisy, with a lo-fi character aimed at producers working in the indie and underground scenes. The developer says the loops were generated from long individual pieces that were then split into shorter sections and layered, which gives the sounds a dense, evolving quality.

The developer also points to film and game composers as an intended audience, saying the loops suit tense, gritty or emotionally shifting scenes.

Format and Workflow with Portatron

The pack is built for Portatron and uses its 4-track format. Loops are grouped into 32 cassettes, so you can browse by cassette and audition the 50 loops in each group.

You can load a loop, clip out a short section for repeated use under a beat, or let a longer loop play and layer it with other material. Because the loops are long, they also work as accents on an existing track.
