The sound of modern salsa at your fingertips

Salsa Percussion Loops is a genre-authentic audiophile sound library for SampleTank 4 in our new series of multitrack audio loops libraries. Created by acclaimed Cuban Producer and Musician Alex Rivas, each preset contains the full mix on note C1 with the stems of each track provided chromatically going up the keyboard.
The best SampleTank effects from T-RackS, AmpliTube and Syntronik are assigned so that the user can instantly filter, EQ and compress each preset to taste using the SampleTank macro controls. An additional resonant low pass filter is assigned to the mod wheel for real-time performance.

The origin of Salsa Percussion Loops

Producer Alex Rivas says about the library, “After years of struggling to find an authentic sounding salsa library, I decided to create my own with a modern approach and inspired by current salsa artists. I carefully chose the musicians, instruments and gear to make this project come to life, so now you, too, can make your own
genuine salsa songs.”

Authentic salsa tracks from serious
salsa players

Authenticity is key to Salsa Percussion Loops. The recorded musicians are straight from Cuba, Venezuela and Colombia. These three countries have one thing in common: They live and breathe salsa music. Alex and his team recorded the most common rhythms and parts of a salsa song, so you are covered no matter what you need. And as a Cuban native, salsa music is in Producer Alex Rivas’ blood, and he knows you will feel it, too.
