Rhythmic Exploration

The intuitive loop sequencer empowers deep creative control: edit individual steps, mangle existing sequences, and reorder elements to forge entirely new rhythmic patterns and riffs. Transform these building blocks into your own unique soundtrack through original editing and inspiring randomization features.

Variations And More

Take your audience on a rollercoaster of sonic intensity with the 8 Scene Memories! Design intricate layered sequences and arrangement evolutions, setting the stage for stunning drops and impactful fills. Select your desired layers and inject spontaneous improvisation and dynamic repeats to unlock a wealth of additional variations and fuel boundless creativity.

Covering a comprehensive tempo spectrum from a slow and deliberate 60 BPM to an energetic 120 BPM, this loop library ensures you have the rhythmic foundation for any situation your cinematic or musical project demands. 

Beyond this inherent variety, Kontakt’s integrated time-stretching functionality empowers you to precisely adjust the tempo of each loop, opening up even greater flexibility and allowing you to tailor the feel to your exact vision.

Dusty Thing is an XY Library - 3 Types of XY Libraries

XY Atmos

The XY Atmos libraries, exemplified are primarily designed for creating immersive and evolving atmospheres.

  • Best Use: These libraries are ideal for visual storytelling, such as film scores, documentaries, and videos, due to their long, evolving sound sources.
    They excel at generating lush pads, cinematic soundscapes, and ambient textures.
  • The sounds are generally designed to be very long and have a strong sense of internal movement and evolution, making them perfect for setting a mood or atmosphere in film, documentaries, video games, or even purely ambient music.
  • Chordal Content: Many sound sources in this category include inherent major or minor chordal content, making it generally advisable to play single notes. However, some patches are exceptions and allow for chord playing.
  • Dynamic Response: Patches can be designed to respond to playing velocity, allowing for a dynamic shift between major and minor moods (e.g., softer velocity for minor, harder for major).
  • Unique Effect: The “Special” knob in XY Atmos libraries typically controls a modulation effect.

XY Playable

The XY Playable libraries are designed for more conventional musical performance, allowing users to play chords or melodies.

  • Best Use: These libraries are ideal for visual storytelling, such as film scores, documentaries, and videos, but also ambient and electronic music.
  • Chordal Capability: These libraries are built to handle chords effectively.
  • Layer Range Definition: A key distinguishing feature is the ability to define the keyboard range for each individual layer. This is useful for creating keyboard splits or ensuring specific sound sources (e.g., bass) don’t overpower certain frequency ranges. Layers can also be set to progressively fade out across their defined range.
  • Poly/Mono Button: Some XY Playable libraries include a “Poly/Mono” button, allowing specific layers, especially those with “soloist” sound sources, to be played monophonically.
  • Arpeggiator: Some XY Playable libraries, particularly those with sharp-attack sound sources, feature a built-in arpeggiator with various modes (hold, hold plus, MIDI through) and velocity control options.

XY Loops

The XY Loops libraries are distinct in their focus on rhythmic and melodic loops, offering advanced sequencing and manipulation capabilities.

  • Best Use: These libraries come in several themes which span from cinematic to pop/experimental music
  • Loop-Based: These libraries are built around rhythmic and melodic loops.
  • Sequencer: which provides 16 steps per layer to switch loop playback on or off.
    • Division Control: The length of each step in the sequencer is determined by the “Division” control (from, 1/4 to 1/32 of a bar).
    • Step Randomization: Key switches allow for randomization of the step on/off switches for individual or all layers, creating dynamic variations.
    • Stutter/Freeze Effects: Dedicated key switches and controls allow for stuttering or freezing effects on random or specific steps.
  • Mode and Pitch Control: Similar to XY Atmos, many loops (excluding rhythmic ones) come with major and minor content, triggered by playing velocity.
  • Pitch Lock: Layers can be set to ignore incoming key presses, allowing their pitch to remain constant while other layers change with played notes.
  • Slice Editing: Users can randomize and edit the order of slices within each loop, creating new rhythmic patterns.
  • Time Signature Manipulation: The “Beatbase” control allows for changing the denominator of the time signature, enabling unusual rhythms (e.g., 7/4, 7/8).
  • Scenes which store the sequencer settings, allowing for quick transitions between different loop arrangements via key switches.

Across all three types, common features include the XY pad for crossfading, individual volume, sound selection, mute/solo buttons, waveform display, and per-layer controls for pan, pitch, attack, release, low-pass/high-pass filters, sample start, “dirt” (saturation/compression/distortion), delay, and convolution reverb with over 150 impulse responses. 

Master controls for portamento and randomization are also universally present. All XY libraries also offer a separate output option for each of the four layers, allowing for individual processing in a DAW.
