Cyclick Samples - Ultimate Hi-Hats Volume 1 [24Bit WAV]_Sin

This collection comprises, much like the hi-hatitself, two elements: loops and hits.

There are 315 loops in the Cyclick part of this pack, with seven different ‘banks’
producing five loops each in nine different tempos (95, 110, 120, 125, 128, 135,
140, 170 and 175bpm). These banks are split into two types: acoustic and electronic.

Patterns were created for each bank in each tempo (I switched between grid drawing
and bashing a keyboard), and then often given a bit of randomised quantise to give
them a little swing. Many of the hat loops have an overt swing varying from 10% to 80%.

Once each tempo was complete, the drum bank channels were treated to various processes
(EQ, modulation, short delays, tape saturation, filtering, etc) and then rendered and
edited. Often the root sample pitches were tweaked too. This was done with each tempo,
so the sound does change from tempo to tempo for the same bank. The hits were picked
out from a few of the tempo tweaks, so not every single version of the hi-hat hits is
used,but every root hi-hat is included with one treatment.

Obviously these loops and hits are just the start. They can take plenty of further
processing – stretch’em, distort’em, pitch’em and generally never let them be.
