Structure
The Themes are divided into three folders of loop packs:

• Acoustic
• E-guitar 1 ( gibson es style ),
• E-guitar 2 ( fender strat style ).

Within these three folders, are a wide spectrum of contemporary playing techniques which revolve around the axis of urban.  Each theme consists at least of a main part and a variation. The main and variation mixes are composed of two separate guitar loops, which are, as usual, broken out into single elements. A few of the themes provide up to 3 variations. Furthermore, each variation is different in the way of vibe and accent, to deliver the most possible variety.

The given structure and features like labeled key signature and tempo information, makes it as easy as possible to find a groove that will match your tracking needs and goals. Additionally the Elastik Player offers you a lot of DSP functions to adjust the phrases to further fit your productions / creations.

Fazit

Wer R´n´B der Neunziger Jahre bis heute liebt, wird sicher große Freude an der kleinen, aber sehr gut produzierten Library haben. Durch die Einzel-Licks können sogar gestandene Produzenten die eine andere Anregung zum Produzieren von Gitarren-Tracks für sich herausziehen. Ein sehr nutzbarer Effekt sind die separat angebotenen Ghostnoteloops, die einen Track rhythmisch stark beleben können. Den einen oder anderen Loop werde ich bestimmt gut verwenden können, da bin ich mir sicher. Der Preis erscheint für die 1,77 GB an Daten etwas hoch, dafür ist aber kein überflüssiges Material dabei, und die Aufnahmequalität ist wirklich sehr gut.
