Chord Progressions and Leads:
A curated selection of unique chord progressions spanning 5 instruments: Piano, Wurlitzer, Rhodes, Organ, and Synth. All synth sounds are originally crafted from the ground up and feature a variety of FM, Granular, Spectral, Wavetable, and outboard Analogue syntheses. Loops span a range of tempos from 80-110bpm, and are arranged in 4 different keys and in minor third intervals. This allows transposing certain loops to their neighbouring key by no more than a half step to retain sound quality. This technique makes all keys available! Want more control over the sound? Included are both dusty and clean versions of every loop to open up custom sound design and mixing possibilities.

Single Chords:
Sift through a collection of 38 chord types for each instrument, in 4 different keys, and in both dusty and clean versions. Types include major, minor, diminished, extended and altered.

Processed:
Using existing loops from the library, a small collection of processed loops were created from each instrument to provide additional content. These not only demonstrate what’s possible with some creative resampling and sound design, but also add production ready loops that are sure to inspire!

MIDI:
For even greater flexibility, all Chord Progressions, Leads, and Single Chords have accompanying MIDI files. Use your own sounds and change the arrangement to create your own custom loops!

Special Feature:
Chord Progressions and Leads in this library are deigned to work together. In other words, each chord progression has a partnering lead, and vice vera. These are arranged in such a way that every instrument gets a chance to partner with every other instrument in every key and tempo. An instrument doesn’t partner with itself, only others.
