Experimental / IDM Roulette

Cycles & Spots deliver a great allround pack for Ambient music productions. Inside you'll find all necessary elements: harmonic and percussive loops like synthesizer drones, abstract rhythms, effects and textures. Three methods of synthesis were used to archive interesting sounds: modular, granular and FM. This collection is superb to create complex soundscapes and even full length songs / arrangements. Naturally single loops can inspire you for other projects or you'll find missing pieces for already started songs. All is rather on the experimental side to offer more individuality than classic Ambient. All loops have 90BPM, are up to 16 bars long and are key-labeled if applicable of course. Many have unusal lengths to keep the rhythms exciting. In the audio demo 2 loops are always layered.

300 Wav Loops

Cycles & Spots deliver 310 Wav loops inspired by the Musique Concrète genre from the early 20th Century for Ambient / Experimental productions. These loops are partly made from real life Foley recordings, partly from musical instrument recordings and then were transformed into new contexts, sometimes rhythmical and other times on the texture side. Tape mimicking techniques were used and also modernized effects like buffer manipulation were added to keep the spirit of the genre but resulting in still fresh sounding material to create temporary Ambient music with a certain edge. Most loops come with many variations. Use single loops to get inspired or combine multiple ones and build soundscapes and more with this collection.

Cycles & Spots present the follow up to Rhythm, a percussion instrument for Native Instruments' Reaktor. 800 fresh new loops are integrated in this version which also offers extended functionality. 8 sample players can be seperatly manipulated in loop range (so polyrhythms can be made), start, frequency, playback modes & speeds. Rhythm 2 also let's you now use a 4 band equalizer and apply 4 effects for each player seperaty. These effects are reverb, delay, tremolo (panner) and a phaser. Simple inspirations and complex percussive structures can be easily made from experimental material up to full House Music based beats. Snapshots (presets) can be triggered via MIDI input and like this bigger structures (song mode) can be crafted. 50 snapshots are integrated. Samples vary from top loops, kicks, traditional percussion, 808s, kitchen recordings to even full beats. The instrument features also seperate mono outputs for each sampler for those who prefer this over the in-built effects.
