Loops are an important part of music production, and the way they are tuned can have a big impact on the sound. There are two main ways to tune loops: using the tune key switches or tuning individual slices using the tune tab. The tune key switches method is quick and easy, but it can be difficult to get the sound just right.

Sahara Desert

Did you know that the Sahara Desert is the largest hot desert in the world? And that it’s also the third-largest desert after Antarctica and the Arctic? The Sahara desert covers most of North Africa, and it’s estimated to be around 9 million square kilometers! That’s an area larger than China or the United States!

The Sahara desert is home to a variety of animals and plants, including the addax, which is a type of antelope; the Barbary sheep; the fennec fox; and the dromedary camel. And did you know that there are actually people who live in the Sahara desert?

The Tuareg people have lived there for centuries, and they’ve adapted to the harsh conditions by wearing long robes and veils to protect themselves from the heat and sand. So when you’re listening to the Sahara Beats library, think about all of the amazing things that are happening in this vast and fascinating place.

Tuning individual slices using the tune tab is more time-consuming, but it gives you more control over the sound. In addition to tuning, you can also change the style and variation of a loop with key switches.

The ‘feel’ menu provides five extra ‘feels’ to the original loop, and the speed menu enables half/double-speed playback. By experimenting with these options, you can create loops that are uniquely your own.

The ability to replace, tune, reverse, stretch, and pan each slice gives you a lot of control over the sound of your beats. And the Loops are synced to the host tempo so you can get perfect timing every time. You can also drag the sequence of slices into your DAW as a MIDI file, which is a great way to add some extra spice to your tracks.

So whether you’re looking for something simple to get started with or something more advanced to take your beats to the next level, Sahara Beats is definitely worth checking out.
