## What is Percussion Loops HD Light?

This is the free trailer version for Percussion Loops HD, a truly live played percussion loops and samples library, played by a pro and purpose built for iOS! Copy them to your fav daw (all loops can be copied as Apple Loops and will follow tempo in Garageband), take advantage of Audiobus and Inter App Audio or play along. Nothing is programmed or synthesized. Download the free version to get a taste of the action with one chapter fully enabled. Now with 4 salsa chapters added!

If you want real percussion on your tracks, this is the best option there is, every loop or sample was performed in a pro studio by the Dutch number one percussionist. Furthermore, the app is a direct sibling of Drum Loops HD and Drum Loops HD 2 (also G.I. Records releases). In the revolutionary new version (1.2) loops can be copied to Garageband as Apple Loops meaning that they follow GB tempo, just like in Drum Loops HD and Drum Loops HD 2.

### 1/5 — Poor value, only partly functions

*2014-12-21*

Expecting something quite good, I was disappointed to find just a handful of mediocre samples in the single category that was available, and none of the others working in trial form. Deleted.
