Native Instruments Expansion Satin Looks [Maschine]

30 YEARS OF R&B

From late 80s ballads, to soul-searching 90s cuts and new pop frontiers, R&B is the defining force behind emotive, rooted music that always hits the spot. SATIN LOOKS traces the genre’s evolution until the present day, with vintage synth strings and keys, quintessential chord progressions chopped into versatile kits, funk-tinged guitar licks, and crisp acoustic percussion that blends old-school flavor with contemporary production aesthetics. Whether it’s bittersweet tones or late-night nostalgia that define R&B for you, this is the place to find it.

SATIN LOOKS was created in collaboration with Snipe Young.

EXPLORING SATIN LOOKS

Somebody who knows their way around R&B better than most is Stefan Guy. We sent him SATIN LOOKS to see what it can do in the hands of a smooth chord connoisseur. Watch as he explores what’s inside the Expansion, and creates a classic R&B sketch.
