Loopmasters has introduced two new titles in the Launch Pad series of sample packs. Capturing the essence of the roots/rockers sound that defined an era, Launch Pad Vol. 18 – Rebel Skank takes you to the heart of mid-to-late 1970s Jamaica. Influenced by legendary artists like Sly & Robbie, The Revolutionaries, and Leroy Smart, this pack is your gateway to that timeless reggae vibe.
Dive into deep, heavy rolling basslines that anchor a syncopated drum groove that incorporates rimshots and snare patterns, accompanied by the unmistakable organ bubble, crisp guitar, and key skanks. Add tasty electric key riffs and a classic horn line to the mix, elevated with tight syncopated percussion accents, and you’ve got a soundscape of ideas to kick-start your next project.
Also available is Launch Pad Series Vol. 17 – Mod Ska, focuses on the late ’70s/early ’80s two-tone/ska/mod revival era. The pack contains shuffling grooves, tasty but gritty skanking and synths, space drums, FX, and more.
This pack is designed to bring fresh inspiration to your next project with 16-bar loops, one-shots and MIDI parts. Whether you’re a seasoned producer or just starting, this pack is your key to creating timeless music with a modern twist.
The sample packs are available to purchase for £4.95 GBP each.
