Hop Riffs - Strum GS2 Sound Pack

Laid-back collection inspired by the modern wave of LoFi hip hop

Without any prior guitar experience, get ready to add some major guitar deliciousness to your hip hop production. The Strum GS sound set Hop Riffs, created by resident sound designer Niall McCallum, is geared toward discerning hip hop beatmakers and producers who are in desperate need of guitar flavor.

Let the groove take over your arrangements with this easygoing compilation, which was influenced by pioneers of the genre's classic 1990s boom bap era as well as the current internet wave of LoFi hip hop. Hop Riffs has 84 guitar presets, 84 strumming patterns, and 12 hip hop sub-genres that can be played with custom chord progressions.

When coupled with your favorite funky drum rhythm, Hop Riffs' deceptively simple strumming patterns will come to life and dance and spark all over your music. Hop Riffs' liberal dousing of rich effects and smooth, adaptable tones will let you relax and fire your next rhythm. It features everything from delicate chord figures and glittering arpeggios to forceful dark riffs and mysterious background textures.
