The 80s Rock Riffs Black Friday deal takes 30% off this Ueberschall sample pack, so it costs $44.80 until Nov 29, 2026.
80s Rock Riffs is a guitar loop library built around the overdriven rock sound of the first MTV decade. It is organized into 25 construction kits and runs on Ueberschall's Elastik player.
The library holds 971 loops and phrases. The maker lists the download at 3.3 GB.
This is the third part of the maker's four-part Rock Riffs series. The series covers the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s of rock guitar.
Every kit gives you three guitar parts. Two are doubled takes of the main riff, and the third is a complementary part in a lead guitar style.
All guitar parts come as both amp and DI versions. That lets you reamp or reshape the tone in the box and still have the recorded amp sound to fall back on.
A separate stereo loop carries all three guitars panned left, right and center, with effects on it. The maker calls it the mix-ready option.
Bass loops are included for both the main riff and the outro, again in amp and DI versions.
The drums come as a pre-mixed stereo loop plus separate stems:
That split gives you control over the whole drum bus, down to the snare trigger.
Elastik is Ueberschall's own player. Its tempo and pitch manipulation lets you chain riffs into longer arrangements, even when they were recorded at different tempos or keys.
The ReTune algorithm handles key and scale changes. A random replacement function throws up new combinations, and you can load samples from other libraries next to this one.
For the Elastik player, the maker recommends macOS 10.12 or higher, or Windows 8 or higher. The Ueberschall Downloader needs an internet connection and the same recommended system versions.
All instruments on the library were played by Kai Reuter. The maker says the recording and mixing process was designed to reflect the move to digital recording and the CD that defined the decade. It lists Rock Classics and On The Rock as other rock titles that pair with it.
