Don't be afraid to just use the words that come to mind, our search engine is very good at determining what you're looking for.

BPM for loops

When searching for a certain BPM, our engine will always give you the loop that most closely matches your search prompt. When search results for that specific search prompt have run out, it will recommend you the next closest BPM. For example:

Let's say the search prompt 'Hihat Loop 142 BPM' results in 10 hihat loops at 142 BPM.
The search results below the initial 10 hihat loops will now expand to the original BPM +1 or -1, showing you hihat loops at either 143 or 141 BPM respectively.

When all loops in that BPM range run out, the range expands with another +1 and -1 to 144 and 140BPM and so forth.

This ensures that even if the options in your current BPM search run out, the engine will recommend you the closest available options as well so you don't have to search again for what you need.

To optimise your workflow, we also made sure you don't have to include the abbreviation BPM in your search prompt, just typing 'Hihat Loop 140' will do just fine.

Rhythmic Feel

We also include a rhythmic feel value in all our loops. This value represents the length of the notes the loop has most emphasis on, making it easy for you to find the right loop by including the rhythmic feel in your search prompt. Examples:

Hihat loop 140 bpm 8th

Hihat loop 130 bpm 16th

Hihat loop 170bpm 4th

Tags

All search results will also show you tags to give you an idea to which category that sound belongs to, providing you with hints and inspiration for your next search prompt.
