There are 5 sets of LOOPS of a different LOOP STYLE (DRUM and BASS, DUBSTEP, FUN, SOUND FX and NEW). Each LOOP STYLE has a set of same TEMPO LOOPS, except the SOUND FX, they're just great SOUND FX.

Visit my EION YouTube Channel, where I am building a complete set of TUTORIALS on using Apple LOGIC PRO, and hear my music and other projects. Visit my EION Facebook and get in touch with me, chat and etc….. BOOK A GIG!!!! (MUSIC, OR FILMMAKING!) The far right button is the DEVICE LOOPS button, that takes you back to the first LOOP PAGE.
