Smart Loops has released the SL MultiTracks Volume 5, 6 and 7 Drum Loop libraries in REX 2 format. Previously the loop collections were only available in ACID WAV and Apple Loops formats.

With SL MultiTracks, computer-based musicians and producers can take complete control of the drum mix by discretely controlling volumes, EQ and FX on individual drum and cymbal loops (kick, snare, hats, overheads, and toms). Each MultiTrack groove and one-shot is provided in two ways: as a set of multitrack drum and cymbal loops, and as a complete mix loop.

SL MultiTracks Volume 5 includes the following loop libraries:

• Medium-Fast Shuffle-Blues 1 -- 60 loops and one-shots for faster blues, country, rock, and pop songs. 256 individual track loops allow for total control of the mix. Recommended tempo range 115-185 BPM.
• Medium Straight Rock 3 -- 67 loops and one-shots perfect for rock, hard rock, pop, and country songs. 294 individual track loops allow discrete mixing of kick, snare, hats, overheads, and toms. Recommended tempo range 70-130 BPM.
