Old School Hip Hop £25

Niche’s new expansion for NI Maschine consists of 15 groups of 16 samples each, accompanied by a series of demonstrative MIDI patterns to get you inspired, and a Project stringing them together. Every sound is processed with Maschine’s onboard effects, for instant customisation, and as well as the expected drums and percussion, there’s a plethora of basses and melodic hits and licks, with instrumentation taking in guitars, keys and synths. The sounds – especially the superphat kicks and snares – are amazing, and the programming is exemplary. OSHH is a must-have. www.loopmasters.com
