Organic Top Loops $19

There’s a surprising paucity of ‘tops’ libraries on the soundware market, but newcomers to these pages Touch Loops hope to redress that with this gathering of 121 loops (at 110, 115, 120 and 125bpm), plus 146 supplementary one-shots with which to make your own from scratch. The percussion deployed is sonically diverse, as are the arrangements and processing styles. Some of them arguably stray a tad too far into low-end territory, mind you, but that’s nothing a filter can’t cure, and overall, Organic Top Loops is a very useful dance music toolkit. www.touchloops.com
