Description:
The Brio Latin Percussion Ensemble sample library can be used wherever a bit of Latin flavor is needed.
Along with great sounds, Brio includes an easy-to-use 8-channel pattern-based sequencer.
The library includes 21 patterns to help you get started.
Never knew this existed…….. thanks…….. for any not yet aware, the FORCE that causes the urge to dance is a repeating 5-beat pattern over two measures called “clave”.
I’d start every composition with one of those “PERC” lines filled with the clave pattern, using the instrument by the same name “claves” or cowbell. Those beats serve as a “grid” that drives the bass part. Listen to the bass part in Latin music, you’ll hear one of the most powerful forces in music, literally causing physical response 🙂 If music makes you move, it’s got clave and the fact that it can be completely inaudible and have the effect it does says a lot. Music is as much about what you don’t hear verbatim.
Pretty remarkable it was invented centuries ago in Nigeria, and is the basis for an entire mathematical system built upon a 5-note pattern. Brought westward by the transatlantic slave atrocity, the Latino cultures have made it the foundation of their music. Learning this one concept can change your composition skills in ways you have yet to realize. I’d expect clave to be a significant element in the examples said to be included. So thanks!!
