Loops, Grooves and Breakbeats
Powerful sonic building blocks, and great inspirational triggers.

And if you need to change the key, you're in for even more work. In the end, your loops are controlling you, instead of vice versa. But help is on its way. From Propellerhead Software comes a suite of programs that gives you full creative control over your looped material!
