Drum loop player which delivers the Salsa, Bolero, Guaguanco and Son Montuno styles recorded from the most talented percussionists. Now with RGB style launch pads, you can have this genuine latin beats feeling with four distinct styles, each with 4 tracks. It also comes with a BPM control, so change the speed as you want and match it with your music, dance sessions, instruments, giving you different possibilities to play in a session or mixing in your gig! Very simple and intuitive to use, just press the instrument pad and it will start playing. Pressing other pads will start other instruments playing accordingly in sync. Press again the same instrument and the volume slider will appear, so you can mix them as your taste. Stop anytime any track pressing the white pad below it.
