Rare Grooves Vol. 3 Black Friday deal: Ueberschall's 70s soul and funk loop library is 30% off at $44.80 until Nov 29, 2026.
It is a 3.5 GB collection of 645 loops and phrases, spread across five construction kits. The more down-tempo grooves lean into the blues.
The maker says the combination of soul drumbeats, smooth bass lines, funk-style electric guitars and a tape-infused analog signal chain gives you an authentic vintage soul sound.
The instrument section covers electric guitars and basses, with organs, strings and electric pianos alongside them.
Drums come as two premixed loops, one with reverb and one without. The kit also comes as separate stems: kick with inside and outside mics, snare with upper, lower and trigger channels, hi-hat, cymbals, toms, overheads and room. Having each element on its own track means you can adjust the balance of the drums or run your own effects on any single piece.
Tempos across the five construction kits run from 60 to 94 BPM, which sets the laid-back pace.
Each kit has 3 to 5 main sections plus intros and outros. Some loops run up to 16 bars (32 seconds), so the performance variation is there for a full song-format arrangement.
Guitars and electric bass come in DI'ed versions if you want to add your own processing. The mic'ed and amped recordings are the ones the maker points to for warm, saturated tube-amp tone.
The library is an Elastik soundbank for Mac and Windows, in AU, VST, AAX and standalone formats. The Elastik Player is included, so you do not need a sampler.
Elastik handles pitch-shifting, time-stretching and scale-syncing. It also has resample, formant, reverse and a multimode filter for sound design.
Its tag-based browser manages all your Elastik libraries together, so combining loops from different packs is straightforward.
The Elastik Player recommends macOS 10.12 or higher, or Windows 8 or higher. The Ueberschall Downloader needs an internet connection and the same OS versions.
The maker positions the pack as a source of ideas for adding your own vocal topline, as a way to drop vintage flavour into a modern project, and as old-school soul for media composers. It is also described as a complement to Vols. 1 and 2.
