Xtyles

Xtyles has 8 layers of loops that can be randomised at disc level. Prepared in Major and Minor versions, these loops will follow your composition with melody, rhythm and sound improvisations to spice up your track.

Xtyles generates loop combinations according to 8 predefined “Xtyles”, or according to the user’s taste, which can be saved in 4 user “Xtyles”.

On the fly, the user can recall up to 8 “Scenes”, which include loop combinations and sound selections, to create evolving arrangements—perfect for any song structure.

Colour-coded Keyswitches make it easy to trigger each loop and change Key and Mode (Major/Minor) for each loop, even within beat subdivisions. The user can also request an “improvisation” at the press of a key, or completely change the scene with new loop combinations.
