3.8 GB library Retro Action Score in 20 construction kits includes a big selection of clean and distorted electric and acoustic guitars, groovy electric and double basses, rhodes, pianos, synths and organs. Fat drumbeats, various percussion elements, atmospheric guitar- and drum fx provide the fitting rhythmic basement. The tempo of the kits varies between 66 and 180 bpm.
1853 loops from two to eight bars are mixed with enough headroom to enable you to modify the sounds according to your demands.

With the MasterBay S it is easy to manage up to four stereo processors comfortably. Its flexible switching matrix and unique listening comparison possibilities make it easier to get the best results out of the available equipment.

In order to streamline the workflow, the user can set freely selectable intervals for automatic A/B comparisons. And it is also possible to compensate for loudness disparities to be able to compare only the actual sound differences, while the Parallel Mix function determines the balance between the dry input and the processed signal. The MasterBay S features Trim potentiometers to fine adjust all input and output levels plus a central knob that serves to adjust the record signal's dynamic fading.
