Here’s another good one that will set you back under a sawbuck. Plus all the proceeds go to a good cause¹.

Nine Volt Audio: Chroma Rex: Electronic Edition

Basically, an extrapolation of their recently released Melodic REX: Electronic Edition; sort of the bonus ep that comes on the heals of the full length album. 350 loops, built from 33 different sounds, “based around octave and octave+fifth patterns, making every loop ‘chordally-ambiguos’ and flexible enough to create leads or tonal backdrops.”

If you’ve never used a NineVolt sound library, do yourself a favor and check them out. Absolutely the top-notch stuff, which particularly shines if you use StylusRMX. Seriously, their expansions are better organized and assembled, and vastly more unique, then the Spectrasonics’ expansion packs. (I’ll do a full “review” someday.) But you get all loop format flavors, so everyone gets to play.

What I’ve explored so far are as good as I would expect of NineVolt. And, as always, they lend themselves well to all kinds of cutting and mangling.

Good cause, good price, great product. You’ve bought these already, right?
