Whether you’re looking for fresh Hip-Hop loops for your next track, or you need some inspiration for your next big Trap hit, MIDI loops are a great place to start, whatever level of production you are at.

Unlike audio loops which you might be used to, MIDI loops give you full access to edit every single note that’s been played in, offering the opportunity to make sounds your own and the creative freedom to express yourself, even if you aren’t able to play an instrument to a high standard.

Drop in a loop from the Hip Hop MIDI Pack

Dropping it into a new track will set the MIDI notes to be played by the instrument originally intended by our sound team…

In the Hip-Hop MIDI Pack, you will find a variety of sounds including a mixture of classic beats and bass sounds, all of which are fully editable in the piano roll.

Remove, edit, or extend individual notes, or move groups of notes around to make the sequence your own….

Don’t like the instrument the sequence is being played on? Change it easily and trial different instrument sounds to find out which you prefer…

Want the group of notes to be played in a different key or octave? Simply select the group of notes and drag them to the note position you prefer.
