1. Welcome
Thanks for purchasing LOOP EXPANSION - DEVINE. We hope you enjoying using this loop expansion.
LOOP EXPANSION - DEVINE USER GUIDE - PAGE 4 Table of Contents
Loop Expansions are sample libraries of 128 loops, made by world class musicians and sound designers specifically designed for use with ULTRALOOP. You can use the Snapshots and Loops at any BPM inside ULTRALOOP.
In addition to ULTRALOOP snapshots and sounds, Loop Expansions come with standard .WAV files which can be used with any program that accepts WAVs, such as Ableton, Logic or your favorite Twisted Tools products.
As an ULTRALOOP user you can use the included snapshots with the loops they were designed for, but the snapshots alone can also be a great starting point to inject new life into your own loop content. You can use the Snapshots and Loops at any BPM inside ULTRALOOP. You made need to adjust the BPM range setting using ULTRALOOP’S BPM tab.

1.1. Product Description
The DEVINE Loop Expansion pack features 128 Glitch Hop and Breaks loops by sound design legend, RICHARD DEVINE. At a tempo of 120BPM, these loops are just what you need to craft funky breaks and glitch hop beats, but can be used at a variety of tempos. The expansion features 128 hand-crafted ULTRALOOP snapshots to instantly get you started generating new grooves, variations and song ideas. With the ULTRALOOP expansion bank, 128 loops become hundreds more in no-time.
In Richard Devine’s words:
“I used only physical modeling and analog synthesis to create the sounds which were from a collection of drum machines and synths here at my studio. I primarily designed the loops to use in my live show with my modular. I wanted to create a fun collection of loops that would blend in well with my modular patches, and this worked out best for that in that everything is synthesized.” ! ! ! !

1.4. About DEVINE
Richard Devine is an Atlanta-based electronic musician and sound designer. He is recognized for producing a layered and heavily processed sound, combining influences from hip-hop to old and modern electronic music. Devine largely records for the Miami- based Schematic Records, which was founded by Josh Kay of Phoenecia. He has also done extensive recording and sample work with Josh Kay under the name DEVSND. As a result of praise of his music from Autechre as well as a remix of Aphex Twin's Come To Daddy, Devine recorded an album for Warp Records which was jointly released by Schematic and Warp.
1.5. Where do I put things?
LOOP EXPANSION - DEVINE is a collection of WAV files. There is no need to install them anywhere in particular, just but be sure to put them in a permanent place that doesn’t move if you intend on using them with the included Reaktor .map file within a Reaktor ensemble.
1.6. What’s inside the package?
Inside the product download you’ll find three folders.
00_Samples - Contains .WAV files and the optional Reaktor.map file
01_Ultraloop Expansion - Contains the ULTRALOOP snapshot bank (presets). Be sure to use this with the Reaktor.map file included in the samples folder.
02_Documentation - Contains all related documentation for the product.
2. Using the included Reaktor map and ULTRALOOP Expansion Bank
This LOOP EXPANSION comes with a Reaktor map file that is setup to work in conjunction with the included ULTRALOOP Snapshot bank, though you can use the Reaktor map with any Reaktor instrument and you can use the ULTRALOOP Snapshot bank with other loop maps (though the results may be unexpected, it’s usually fun and surprising how good they sound).

Be sure to turn on EDIT mode by clicking the structure icon next to the main snapshot menubar before beginning to work with ULTRALOOP if you plan on using your own samples and snapshots. Otherwise, you won’t be able to create snapshots and add your own samples.
2.1. Loading the Snapshot bank into Reaktor
1. Create a backup of ULTRALOOP.
2. Turn on EDIT mode in Reaktor.
2. Click the EDIT menu in the Snapshots Banks area,and create a NEW BANK
!
3. Choose LOAD BANK and navigate the the ULTRALOOP EXPANSION folder and select the .ssf file.
2.2. Loading the Reaktor map file into Reaktor
Inside the LOOP EXPANSION Samples folder, you’ll find a Reaktor.map file called [name_of_expansion].map. To keep the file size low, the Reaktor.map file we included references the WAV files and does not contain them. Please keep this .map file in the root of Samples folder where you found it or use the Embed option in the Reaktor sample map editor to embed the samples into each instrument you’re working with to ensure that they are a part of that instrument.

To import the sample maps associated with the Snapshots
1. Turn on EDIT mode in Reaktor.
2. Simply drag the .map file found in the SAMPLES folder of this product to the sample map or Choose Sample Map > Import (Replace)... from the Sample Map Editor.
To open the map editor, choose View>Shop Sample Map Editor [F9]
If you’d like to ensure that the samples are stored with the Reaktor ensemble itself, so that you can move the ensemble around freely without worrying about the path of the samples, simply click the Embed checkboxes for the samples in the sample map editor. This forces the samples to be a part of the ULTRALOOP ensemble itself.
2.3. Using the ULTRALOOP Snapshot bank at a different BPM
When in Reaktor standalone mode, the BPM that was stored with the snapshot is automatically recalled. This ensures that the Snapshots playback at the right tempo they were created at.
If you’d like to browse through a set of Snapshots using a different BPM, simply turn off SET BPM BY SNAPSHOT in the Reaktor Settings or run Reaktor inside your host.
If things are playing at the wrong pitch, it’s like because your DAW is set to a different BPM than that of the sample content. ULTRALOOP snapshots default to using ‘Pitch Stretching’, which changes the pitch of the samples to slow down or speed up to match the tempo.
LOOP EXPANSION - DEVINE USER GUIDE - PAGE 9 Table of Contents
You can turn this feature off by using the PITCH mini-cell. When off, ULTRALOOP uses a grid to slice the samples and retime the sliced positions to the current BPM.
