About this sample

This loop features a glitchy techno hi-hat pattern at 130 BPM spanning two bars, built from high-passed white noise modulated by a sine wave between 1kHz and 5kHz for metallic timbres. Each hit is shaped by a randomized bandpass filter centered between 7kHz and 15kHz with varying bandwidths, and decay times range from 5ms to 150ms to create dynamic texture. Bitcrushing to 4 or 6 bits occurs randomly on some hits, adding digital grit, while micro-timing shifts and panning create a shuffled stereo field enhanced by a subtle stereo delay timed to a dotted 32nd note. The sound is saturated using tanh and high-passed above 2kHz to maintain brightness and low-end clarity.

Best suited for glitch, techno, and experimental electronic genres around 130 BPM, this hat loop can serve as both rhythmic foundation and textural interest. It works well layered with deeper kicks or synth stabs and can be processed further with transient shaping or subtle compression to blend into a busy mix. Watch for the mid-high frequency energy to avoid clashing with other percussive elements or vocals.
