Welcome to the envolving Brazilian music scene! This app is a drum machine application as an easy way to play 36 of our favorite and exotic beats from Brazilloops website. It comes with several variations of Samba, Bossa Nova, Muzenza, Maracatu, Capoeira, Afro-Brazilian beats and some Latin as well, ready to mix with your music in your studio or live performance. It’s a high quality sample player* with 8 instrument tracks, each one with independent pan and volume. It plays the factory loops previously downloaded in the player. Features an “intro” and “ending” playing and mute track function. Also you can change the speed in the bpm slider. Try it with your own settings of volume and panning, mute some instruments and you will find a new world of possibilities to mix in your project! It’s a loop player (pre-recorded audio) and not a sequencer machine, so it enables original Brazilian rhythms style and human touch in the project. A very handy application to play exotic Brazilian beats in the iPad for live performance or even for studio recording! *At the first launch, the synchronization slider is adjusted to 1/4. Different iPads/phones devices may need to adjust the sync slider for perfect synchronization between tracks. Adjust when the player is stopped.
