Feel Style Description
Latin 9 4/4 Swing 8ths
Although there aren't jazz-style swung
rhythms in traditional Latin styles, this style
option was added for people who want
some latin vibe to go with their swung
rhythms. It's a loping groove. Try the high
intensity section for extra timbale.
Latin 10 3/4 Even 16ths
A jazzy waltz with a bossa feel. The high
intensity section adds prominent clave and
cymbal work. Bass moves between the root
and 5th.
Latin 11 3/4 Even 8ths
A laid-back, jazzy waltz with brush drums
in the normal intensity section. The high
intensity section adds cymbals and cowbell.
Laid-back bass slowly moves between the
chords.
Latin 12 3/4 Even 16ths
Similar to Latin style number 9, this style
option provides a jazz-style swung rhythm,
but in a 3/4 time signature and with plenty
of percussion. Kick and hat come in on the
high intensity section, but otherwise it's all
percussion.
Jazz 1 4/4 Even 8ths
Medium bossa nova. Sounds best at tempos
between 120-160. Bass alternates between
root and 5th. Cymbal-driven straight beat,
switching from subtle brush swirls in the
normal intensity section to snare hits in the
high intensity section.
Jazz 2 4/4 Even 8ths
Slow bossa nova. Sounds best at tempos
between 100 -130. Bass alternates between
root and 5th with short transitions. Bossa
beat with side-stick and brush hit in the
normal intensity section, switching to side-
stick and cymbals in the high intensity
section.
