Bandit: Hans Scheffler Edition
There's a good chance you've been using sounds designed by Hans Scheffler for years and never knew it. His audio and musical expertise have been put to use in products by Access, Apple, Emagic, G-Media, Roland, ReFX and Spectrasonics. Now, Hans brings his skills to the Nine Volt Audio release Beat Bandit: a modular REX-based loop library of electronic drums and rhythms.
Scheffler's unique style and global rhythms makes the Beat Bandit grooves appropriate for a wide range of musical genres. And with every element of each full-mix loop broken into individual loops, users can mix and match parts to create their own customized beats.
Stylus RMX users will be pleased to find Beat Bandit organized in a familiar and easy-to-navigate selection of 60 "Beat Suites" and 10 "Element" style folders for quick access to a large selection of individual kick, snare, hi-hat and percussion loops. The addition of 100 Kit and Multi presets makes this collection a must have for any Stylus RMX user.
And as with all of Nine Volt Audio's current releases, Beat Bandit is part of the BPM Flex Series™, which means tempos are unrestrained and can be used at virtually any BPM without artificial stretching or unwanted audio artifacts!

No
matter if you use Stylus RMX, Reason or any other
REX2 player, Beat Bandit's cool grooves and immense
flexibility make it an irresistible go-to source
for any kind of track.
SOUND ON SOUND (June 08): ...I'd highly recommend this library to anyone working with electronic beats. The cracking combination of great raw audio and exemplary usability makes it ideal for genre-hopping, and I reckon it's likely to continue giving you sterling use (and re-use) for years, while most others, less approachable libraries gather dust. Rating: 5/5"

Beat Bandit Demo Song
Created entirely using loops from Beat Bandit, it also features many of the included T-REX and Stylin Bassline bonus loops. The bones of this demo was created using six of the Stylus RMX Multi patches that are included with Beat Bandit. RMX's "Chaos" feature was used for many of the snare rolls.
