    From all the review videos I've seen on Rhythm Source, they just listen to the previews. Only a couple of patterns are shown and it looks like it is just audio loops in the patterns, no notes, no programing in the expansion. Can anyone confirm this? I hate buying just loops. For me the best part of expansions are the midi notes so I can rearrange patterns. Some expansions feel like they were made in Ableton, exported the stems and loaded them into Maschine.

    I went ahead and bought it. I'm not disappointed, there's lots of midi notes/programing in this expansion. More than others before.

    Top DnB / Jungle expansions to date IMO

    1). Rhythm Source
    2). Resonant Blaze
    3). Decoded Forms

    ...well, aren't these the only ones up until now? :D

    Rhythm Source is really good and I bought it right away, which I rarely do. Their recreations of classic breaks is remarkable, best I've come across so far, and it makes me really wish, that these guys would do an edition of Drumlab. So, here's a thought, product managers. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::D

    Picked this up yesterday and it sounds amazing. Agree with Loachm, the recreation of the classic breaks are really good. Will easily stand up to productions utilising the originals in my opinion!

    What I'm struggling with though is rearranging the breaks in Maschine - finding the whole process a bit clunky!

    Not to highjack the thread, but started up a separate one to see if anyone has any tips - https://www.native-instruments.com/...ops-from-maschine-hardware-any-advice.463947/

    Come over and let me know if you can help!
