KRFT Jams is an expansion pack for Audiomodern's Loopmix, containing 10 tonal, melodic loop presets aimed squarely at electronic music production. It's free. And if you're already in Loopmix, working on something that sits in that melodic electronic space, it gives you a quick shelf of remix-ready material when your own ideas have dried up. That's the pitch. It's a narrow one.
This is not a tool for everyone. It won't suit you if you're tracking live instruments, cutting hip-hop samples, or doing anything that demands precise audio control. But if you spend your sessions building arrangements around loops, and you already paid for Loopmix, downloading this costs you nothing and takes a minute. The question is whether the material holds up once you're inside it.
Where It Belongs
You're building a melodic electronic track. Synth textures, tonal loops, that ambient-ish space between techno and downtempo. You want something to react to, a starting point to tear apart and rearrange rather than a blank session. That's exactly where KRFT Jams earns its keep.
The 10 presets are fully unlocked. You can rearrange them, remix them, and spin them into combinations the original producer never intended. For loop-based workflows where the loop is a launching pad rather than the final destination, that flexibility matters. Owners report it works well for sparking ideas when creativity stalls, which is a real and underrated use case. Sometimes you just need something to react against.
The genre fit is melodic electronic. Think tonal, harmonic content rather than percussive slicing. If your session already has that character, these presets slot in without friction.
Where It Doesn't
If you work with your own samples, you'll hit the wall fast. Users report that Loopmix is largely useless without pre-made packs. KRFT Jams does nothing to change that. It is the pre-made pack.
Bring it into a hip-hop session and the lack of custom slice points will frustrate you. Bring it into film or sound design work where timing precision matters, and the time-stretching limitations become an actual problem. There's zero user control over the time-stretching algorithm, a limitation users have long requested to be fixed. It hasn't been. If you need clean, flexible sample manipulation, this isn't your tool. Hard pass for those workflows.
How To Use It Well
Load a preset and don't settle for it as-is. The whole point of these kits being fully unlocked is that you're supposed to break them. Start by swapping loop slots around to find combinations the preset wasn't designed to suggest.
Use the remix-and-rearrange approach as an idea-generation pass, not a final arrangement tool. Treat what comes out as a sketch. If you find yourself loving a particular combination, bounce it immediately before you lose it. You can refine it in your DAW where you have more control over the detail work.
Keep your session tempo stable while you're auditioning material. The time-stretching has known issues, and extreme BPM changes from a loop's native tempo are where you're most likely to hear the pops and clicks that owners report. Work closer to the loop's intended tempo and you'll sidestep the worst of it. It's an annoying workaround, but it's the practical one.
Think of KRFT Jams as a mood board in audio form. When you're staring at a blank session and nothing's clicking, pulling up one of these presets and rearranging it can kickstart the session. That's a legitimate use. Just don't ask it to be more precise than it is.
Against the Field
Egoist allows custom slice points if you need control over how your loops get cut up. It's built for that kind of surgical loop work in a way KRFT Jams inside Loopmix simply isn't.
Looperator gives you more hands-on loop manipulation. If live performance-style loop processing is part of your workflow, it has an edge.
HY-Slicer is worth a look if slice editing is the specific thing you're missing here.
Ultraloop, the older Reaktor instrument, adds filter and envelope control that KRFT Jams lacks. If envelope shaping matters to you, that gap is real and annoying.
None of those are free. KRFT Jams is. That does change the comparison for Loopmix owners who just want more material without spending money.
The Verdict
If you own Loopmix and make melodic electronic music, downloading KRFT Jams is a straightforward yes. It's free, it's fully unlocked, and it delivers exactly what it says: 10 tonal presets you can remix into new territory. For Loopmix owners, it's a genuinely useful addition to a loop library, and the price makes most of its limitations easier to absorb.
But if you don't own Loopmix, this means nothing to you. And if you need precise time-stretching, envelope control, or the ability to work with your own samples cleanly, KRFT Jams won't fix what's missing in Loopmix itself. Skip it for those jobs.

Alternatives to Consider
Egoist
Egoist allows custom slice points, giving you control over how loops get cut apart. It's the stronger pick if you're working with your own samples or need surgical loop editing that KRFT Jams inside Loopmix can't deliver.
Looperator
Looperator is a loop manipulation tool for producers seeking hands-on loop control. If you've hit the ceiling of what Loopmix lets you do with a loop, Looperator opens that up.
HY-Slicer
HY-Slicer is a slice editing alternative worth considering if slice control is limiting your workflow.
KRFT Jams is free, and that makes it easy to recommend to any Loopmix owner making melodic electronic music. Download it, rearrange the presets, bounce what works, and move on. Just don't expect it to paper over Loopmix's time-stretching problems. Those have been there for years, and 10 new presets don't change the engine underneath them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy Loopmix separately to use KRFT Jams?
Yes. KRFT Jams is an expansion pack that only works inside Loopmix 1.0.2 or later. If you don't already own Loopmix, the expansion does nothing on its own. The expansion is free, but Loopmix is a separate paid purchase.
Why are there pops and clicks in my audio when using KRFT Jams?
The pops and clicks are a known issue with Loopmix's time-stretching engine, not specific to the KRFT Jams presets themselves. Users have reported this problem for some time, and there's currently no user-accessible control over the time-stretching algorithm to work around it. Staying closer to a loop's native tempo reduces the problem but doesn't eliminate it.
Can I use my own samples with KRFT Jams?
KRFT Jams is a preset pack, so the content is fixed to its 10 included tonal loops. You can rearrange and remix those loops in Loopmix freely, but users report that Loopmix as a platform is largely built around pre-made packs rather than custom sample import. If custom sample work is central to your workflow, this expansion won't address that gap.
