Rare Grooves Vol. 2 Black Friday pricing puts Ueberschall's 70s funk and soul sample library at $44.80, 30% off, until Nov 29, 2026.
It is a 3 GB Elastik library of 704 loops and phrases, spread across five construction kits. The maker pitches it as a time machine to the early 1970s, when soul beats met funk and rock guitars.
The instrument side covers electric guitars and basses, plus organs, strings and electric pianos.
Each drum kit is supplied both as ready-mixed loops and as separate stems, letting you adjust the balance of the kit yourself. The stems cover the kick (inside and outside mics), the snare (top, bottom and a trigger channel), the hi-hat, cymbals, toms, overheads and room mics. All five kits run at 104 to 110 BPM, which the maker describes as a slightly more up-tempo feel.
Each kit has 4 to 6 main sections plus intro and outro parts. Some loops run up to 16 bars, or 36 seconds, so you can lay out a full song-format arrangement without stitching many short phrases together.
The maker says everything went through an analog signal chain for a tape-saturated character. Overdriven amps and analog hardware pushed into their sweet spot add the overdrive.
You get two routes for guitar and bass. DI'ed takes are there if you want to process them in the box with modern tools. The mic'ed and amped recordings carry the 70s sound as captured.
The maker points to media composers who need an authentic 70s cue, and to songwriters and producers who want a musical bed for a topline. It also suits modern soul, funk, hip-hop breakbeat or crossover projects that need a vintage vibe. Rare Grooves Vol. 2 is described as a companion to the original Rare Grooves Vol. 1.
The library is an Elastik soundbank, and the Elastik Player is included, so you do not need a separate sampler. It runs on Mac and Windows as AU, VST, AAX or standalone.
Elastik's ReTune algorithm lets you change the scale and key of any tonal loop, polyphonic or monophonic. That makes it simple to mix loops from different libraries.
Every loop carries its base key and tempo, which speeds up searching and dropping loops into a song.
The Elastik Player asks for macOS 10.12 or higher, or Windows 8 or higher. The Ueberschall Downloader needs an internet connection and the same operating system versions.
