New nice synth loops
Synth Fuel Vol. One is a massive, one gigabyte collection of , you guest it, Synths. This volume focuses on Arpeggiations and Pads. Nothing but the best in Analog and Analog Modeling hardware synths were used. The Arpeggiators folder is 131 files deep and includes both leads and bases. Each Arpeggiator loop was recorded at 110 BPMs and sustained for a minimum of four measures in 4/4 time and performed in two octaves (two of the following three: A1,A2, & occasionally A3). The purpose of this structure is to give you more flexibility of use within your software application of choice. The Pads folder is 50 loops deep using the same structure. There is a slight difference here and it is that each pad loop is performed in both a major and minor triad where as the Arpeggiators are all sustained single notes. All of the Arps and Pads have a root note of A at various octaves on the keyboard with a majority at A1 and A2. Next we have the SFX folder. This folder contains 10 Sound Effects such as builds, swooshes, transitions, bleeps, and sweeps recorded at 110 BPMs. Now let’s move on to the Synthworks folder. This folder is 45 loops recorded at both 100 and 110 BPMs. Synthworks is an excellent bonus selection of Arpeggiations and simple lead performances all with a root not of C. Some beats have been thrown in for good measures. You’ll get 120 assorted beats ranging from 80-120 BPMs. Genres include Downbeat, Hip Hop, Breaks, House, and Live. To top it off we have our Percussion folder. This folder is 80 loops of exotic world percussion performed and recorded live in the Transalarm studio Chicago. Each of the percussion loops was performed at 80 BPMs. Whew! You will never need a single Synth Pad or Arpeggiation loop again. A total of 445 Files. 24 Bit 44.1kHz Stereo .wav and .aif.

Electro loops and more from Beatmatch
Beatmatch.info is a new project aiming to provide fresh and original electro loops and dj tools for producers looking for fresh and cool sounds.

Electronic download pack for a nice price (4.99€)
Glitch Gumbo Vol 1 is a new download pack featuring electronic breaks and percussion loops. It is aimed at adventurous producers of breaks, IDM, techno and other electronic music styles. Glitch Gumbo Vol 1 is available in PC and Mac loop formats at the introductory price of 4.99 EUR.
The emphasis of this download pack is on experimental breaks and beats, while retaining a good dose of funk and groove. The loops build on ideas from IDM, techno and hip-hop to create an original collection of warped percussive sounds. The consistent use of timestretching, granular synthesis and programmed beat deconstruction techniques makes for a futuristic sounding download pack.
The loops are ideal for layering on top of other beats and textures. For the more experimental producers, they also lend themselves nicely to beat slicing, pitch shifting and other DSP trickery. Lastly, the beats can be used for spicing up hip-hop rhythms with a touch of glitch. All loops contain a convenient BPM tempo indication in the track title.
The Atypical Audio website provides previews of the loops as well as a Glitch Gumbo free download pack. This pack contains similar sounding loops made during the production of Glitch Gumbo Vol 1. Separate sounds are also made available for free in the form of two kits for Native Instruments’ Battery. All files can be downloaded from the Atypical Audio website.

Good site for Reason Refills and for other platforms – C64, Pads, Apollo
Came across this site the other day and YES they had a very good collection of free refills (you need to sign up though, but it is free to register)
Just a tip on the way: I have been collecting refills for some 7-8 years by now and I have never purchased any commercial refills and still I today have a refill collection (and yes again only targeting the type of music I produce – electro, synth, EBM etc) closing in on 12Gigs – so make sure to surf around and download all the demo refills and free refills you can find and I assure you will never need to by a commercial one
Some of the stuff that I liked was;
the Whale refill
the C64 refill
and the Apollo refill
But make sure to support all the good musicians out there here is one good source for starters:
Reason Refills and more
Just thought I´d share some of my sources for finding high quality Refills for Reason. I know there is an endless line of good sources, but at least this is a start
Ambition is to post the ones that have free refills, but sometimes they will ask you to buy the whole pack, but need not worry often they´ve posted a demo refill that works equally well – at least for starters.
In this post I´ve included the list of sources that I´ve posted today, but make sure to come back becuase I will keep this updated in the sidebar as well with new ones as they appear.
