The Phrase Instrument - A Perfect Start Point

GEORGE DUKE SOUL TREASURES is a treasure trove for producers looking for instant soul for their tracks. Exclusively recorded for Native Instruments by American soul and jazz legend George Duke, over 500 soul-drenched keyboard loops are ready to go, and without the need to dig for samples through crates of dusty vinyl.

All loops are perfectly sliced and tempo-synced, and you can easily edit and re-arrange all slices to create countless phrase variations - providing an immediate harmonic basis without requiring advanced musicianship for your hip-hop, R&B or soulful electronic tracks.

Flexible Editing and Rearranging

Each phrase is divided into several slices, which can be triggered individually from any point in the loop, making it easy to re-arrange and create countless variations. Sound parameters like tune, volume, attack and stretch can be adjusted on the fly with every step visible via the Waveform Display.
You can also drag and drop a MIDI file into your host sequencer - including the timing information for triggering the slices - giving you maximum flexibility when building and finalizing the tracks in a DAW.

Eight different filter types and studio-quality convolution reverb and delay give you full flexibility, with each effect chain triggerable via a MIDI keyboard - instantaneously delivering a rich sonic palette for your tracks.
