Scratch Anthology-
Future Loops presents 'Scratch Anthology'…an awe inspiring collection of scratch samples that will add an authentic street flavor to your tracks! Quest created a massive sample library (over 1000 scratch loops), over 700MB worth of true turntable mechanics. The samples, all loop ready (WAV and REX), vary from ½ -bar as well as 1/4 and ½ note. In addition, the range of sounds expands the usual expected by incorporating cut up instruments (drums, basses, horns, vocal phrases, etc,) and electronic sounds.
