The sound of 70’s funk and soul. Rare Grooves Vol. 3 offers a sonic journey back to the classic soul and funk sound of the 1970s. On Vol. 3, slower grooves add a touch of blues to the feel. However, the timeless soul drum rhythms, smooth bass lines and funk-inspired electric guitars – along with the tape-filled analog signal chain used in the recording process – ensure that the music you create is set to an authentic vintage soul sound.
Cool Laid-Back Soul Grooves
The library contains 645 loops, spread across five kits and a total of 3.5 GB. The instrument section features electric guitars and basses accompanied by organs, strings, and electric piano. Drums come in the form of two pre-mixed loops (one with reverb, one without), as well as separate tracks for kick drum (in and out), snare (top, bottom, and trigger), hi-hat, cymbals, toms, overheads, and room. Tempos across the five kits range from 60-94 BPM, creating a laid-back feel. Each kit contains between 3 and 5 main sections, as well as intros and endings. Each section also contains a variety of performance variations, with some loops up to 16 bars (32 seconds) long, making it easy to create full song-length arrangements.
Soul Meets Funk Meets Blues
If you want to add your own processing choices, DI options are included for guitars and electric bass. However, the mic and amp recordings provide the warm, rich sound that only a great tube amp can provide. Rare Grooves Vol. 3 can bring the fabulous sonic character of an authentic early 70s recording to your own productions with the minimum of fuss.
Flexible Format for Full Productions

The perfect complement to both Vol. 1 and 2, Rare Grooves Vol. 3 will add the perfect dose of laid-back soul and funk to any musical project.
