include a custom user interface with various features to help
make it easier to customize the include loops and sounds exactly
how you want. You’ll fi
find all loops automatically sync to your

fferent ways.
First, with the “Kit Combos” you’ll fi

find each loop as part of a
complete construction kit laid out across the keyboard for easy
and quick arrangements.
Second, with the "Single Instruments" you'll find fi that each

instrument is grouped into like instruments to allow you to
quickly fi
find all specifi
fic instruments in the library.
Third, each loop has its own patch in the “Sliced Loops” section
with our custom loop editing interface. Rearrange, remix, or
completely rework each loop to fi
fit with your music exactly how
you want.
Finally we have included a demo section for quick auditioning of

the entire library.

loops from that construction kit to create quick and easy arrangements. Loops start at C0
on the keyboard
Single instruments Patches - Provides you with a collection of the same type of instruments
ie. "Electric Guitars" - this instrument would provideyou with all of the Electric Guitars from each
of the various instruments in this collection.
Sliced Loops - Each loop from the product has been given its own patch and can be edited
extensively using the “loop fx” interface. The full loop can be triggered at C0. The loop can
be played backward at D0. Individual slices start at C1 on the keyboard.

FX INTERAFCE
The instrument FX interface includes various different sound effects that can be applied to the
patch. Many assigned midi CC’s are displayed in the start up page of each patch. From here you
can choose which FX you’d like to edit from the “select fx” drop down menu. Our Kontakt 5
patches include many new FX not found in the Kontakt 4 version.

MIXER WINDOW
Every Kit combo contains a simple mixing window. Each group of instruments has been given a
mixer to control pan and volume. Often, many loops can be grouped under one mixing fader. You
will find this when you have multiple versions of the same instrument part. For example, you may
have 3 different Conga loops, so all the Conga loops would be controlled by the main “Conga” mixer.
