Sliced Loops
Sometimes you want to play the entire loop, but other times you want access to each individual beat slice.
Many of the loops in Ethno Instrument are rhythmic in nature. Many of them consist of actual percussion or drum instruments. But many consist of other instruments, such as guitar or vocals, played in rhythmic fashion.
Either way, loops are different than phrases because they can be instantly divided into individual slices with a single click of the 'Map' button, allowing you to play each individual slice from your MIDI keyboard, drum pad or other MIDI controller.
