LOOPS AND CONSTRUCTION KITS MAPPING

One folder in the Q library contains a large quantity of loops and

construction kit material, presented in three dierent formats and mapping:

Construction Kits Time Machine, Individual Loops Beat Machine, and

Individual Loops Time Machine. All of the material in these folders was

recorded to a click, and has been designed to tempo-sync with your host

sequencer or Kontakt’s MasterKontrol tempo.

There are 39 dierent construction kits, which are families of loop material. If

you go inside the Construction Kit Time Machine folder and load up the ﬁrst

ﬁle (Construction Kit 01), you will ﬁnd 21 loops that make up this

construction kit, and they have been mapped from C1 (two octaves below

middle C) and go up chromatically. Each can be triggered at any time, and

all loops tempo-sync. Construction Kits can be thought of as suites of loops.

Within the 39 construction kits are a total of 710 individual loops. These

individual loops can be found in the two Individual Loops folders, and are

available in either Beat Machine or Time Machine mode.

The Time Machine versions of the individual loops are mapped across the

entire keyboard, with the original loop playing at middle C (C3). In this way,

you can play the original loop at C3, or you can play a pitched-down version

by playing keys below C3, or a pitched-up version by playing keys above C3.

No matter where you play the loop, it will tempo-sync to the host tempo or

to MasterKontrol. Time-stretching and pitch-stretching does introduce sonic

artifacts that get worse the further you get from the original, so extreme

stretching of either may not be musically useful.

The Beat Machine versions of the individual loops employ a dierent

approach to the loops. Each loop contains slice markers at every hit point

within the loop, and the engine will trigger the slice markers at the scaled

time location as it scales the loop from its original tempo to the host tempo

or MasterKontrol tempo. In every Beat Machine version of the loops, the

original complete loop is found on C1 (two octaves below middle C). Playing

this loop will result in this scaled, sliced version of the loop. The scaling often

works well at tempos at or above the original tempo of the loop, but if the

host tempo or MasterKontrol tempo is below the tempo of the original loop,

there will be gaps between slices. From C#1 up, each individual slice of the
