3.4 Rhythmic Suites – Loop Menus
The
Loop Menus are divided into 2 types of presets, Full and Elements. The 4 Full Menus
provide beat-sliced loops stacked together on keys to provide a “one-hit” full loop. The el-
ements provide only one layer per key, allowing you to quickly and intuitively construct
percussive beds.
We’ve taken specific care to create very clean beat-sliced content. Individual loops tend to
contain
optimal tempo ranges, or sweet spots, spanning 80-160 bpm. However, you can cre-
ate very interesting textures by pushing the tempo beyond this range. The beat-sliced loops
can be synced to either the MasterKontrol or host sequencer tempo.
3.4.1 Mapping
In
each of the Loop Elements Menus, the loops are intuitively mapped from low to high
timbre. On the lower end of the 88 key-range are the larger, deeper, darker sounds. As you
move up the register, the loop-types shift towards higher, wispier types of sounds. This in-
tuitive system allows you to build complex beats with ease.
The very top range of the keyboard (octave 6) is where you will find the key-switches for the
Trigger FX and the Amp Sequencer.
