Beats Working in Cuba is the first complete and utterly authentic library of Latin percussion performances recorded entirely in Havana, Cuba, featuring the country´s very finest players, and presented in multitrack format to provide the user with complete flexibility in both tempo and the selection of instruments.
The styles covered include the 12 prime Afro/Hispanic rhythms of the Cuban music culture, including: Cha Cha Cha, Danzon, Son Montuno, Bolero, Pilon, Son Traditional, Guajira Son, Guaracha, Mambo, Songo, Timba, Conga Habanera (Carnival), and Conga Moderna. There are also additional variations in some of the performances to enable the user to select Modern or Traditional arrangements.
The producers, Barry Sage and Gonzalo Lasheras Garcia, are well known in the Latin field, with credits including Jorge Drexler, Luis Edurdo Aute, Silvio Rodreguez, Duncan Dhu, Esclarecidos, La Oreja de Van Gogh, Melon Deisel, Mariela and Solar. They were assisted in Havana by Raphael Santos and Marisol Alfonso Perez. The performances are provided with each instrument separated out.
Users of NI KONTAKT or NI INTAKT please note: the library is presented complete with instrument (.nki) patches. Use of the Kontakt .nki instrument patches requires a FULL version of Kontakt. If you only have “Kontakt Player” you will only be able to load them in a ‘demo mode’. The instruments playing in each groove were miked separately and each mic output sampled. The resulting multi-track loops can be automatically synced to tempo via Beat Machine or Time Machine controls.
The Beat Machine programming has loops divided into their individual hits (slices). Each instrument (i.e. every track!) of each loop is sliced – which means any combination of instrument loops can be played at a wide range of tempos without change in pitch or audio quality.
This degree of flexibility is UNRIVALLED in any other percussion loop library we know of. It also allows you to give each hit individual settings for pitch, playback direction, pitch envelope, amp envelope, distortion, delay, and more; a MIDI file of each loop can be easily exported so that groove, accent, and feel can be manipulated in any host sequencer.
