There's a good chance you've been using sounds designed by Hans Scheffler for years and never knew it. His audio and musical expertise have been put to use in products by Access, Apple, Emagic, G-Media, Roland, ReFX and Spectrasonics. Now, Hans brings his skills to the Nine Volt Audio release Beat Bandit: a modular REX-based loop library of electronic drums and rhythms.

Scheffler's unique style and global rhythms makes the Beat Bandit grooves appropriate for a wide range of musical genres. And with every element of each full-mix loop broken into individual loops, users can mix and match parts to create their own customized beats.

Stylus RMX users will be pleased to find Beat Bandit organized in a familiar and easy-to-navigate selection of 60 "Beat Suites" and 10 "Element" style folders for quick access to a large selection of individual kick, snare, hi-hat and percussion loops.

And as with all of Nine Volt Audio's current releases, Beat Bandit is part of the BPM Flex Series, which means tempos are unrestrained and can be used at virtually any BPM without artificial stretching or unwanted audio artifacts!
