Minimal techno hi hat loop 128 bpm, 4 bars, clicky and sparse

About this sample

A sparse, dark hat loop runs for four bars at 128 BPM, with short white-noise hits placed off the beat and gaps between them. Each hit layers noise band-passed from 1.7 to 7.6 kHz with noise high-passed at 900 Hz and low-passed at 4.3 kHz; the layers are mixed at 55/45. A fast attack, short decay, and 8 ms fade-out keep the clicks tight, while alternating hit lengths add slight variation; hits pan among four positions across the stereo field.

Use it for minimal techno and other restrained electronic grooves around 128 BPM, or chop individual ticks into a different pattern. It can sit over a kick and bass with room left for brighter percussion; check the upper mids if layering with other noisy hats, since the band-passed clicks add definition there.
