Congas/Bongos MIDI loops

Anyone know of any conga or bongo MIDI loops available? I'm doing a percussion part, 180 bpm, that I need to be able to edit.

I've seen some on google, but they're mostly .wavs.

Cheers

It's been a while Rob....

I don't use many conga & bongo sounds.... I know Jamstix has Latin percussion in it..... and it is editable.

I don't know about the other VST drum synths... but I would think most would have some LP in them....

That's what I would check into. Searching the web for good and at the same time...free...sounds has pretty much been an exercise in futility for me.... some worked, some didn't, and most did not sound real enough when they did work.

So I decided to start buying the synths and VST's to get the job done right.

Barring that option..... IIRC.... TTS and the GM have some LP in them.....I think.... it's been so long since I used them. In addition, many keyboards (my cheap "shack" has some)  also incorporate a number of LP sounds.... However.....the big issue with the do it yourself approach to LP is that unless you are schooled in that style of music, it will be a monumental task to get the correct rythem patterns set up.

just use the wav's.... as a groove template.. and get it to generate midi slices ... and replace with ya own samples..

I use recycle to do such things, but sonar can do it..

Hi Rob,

In JS2, Jamcussion may be what you want (hand percussion with new drummers and styles) rather than whatever might be in the regular styles.

another option but certainly  more expensive than Jamstix is Band in a Box. It has thousands of styles (counting the variations of styles) and hundreds of different LP styles and their many variations..... stuff you've never heard of but some of it is quite interesting.  Absolutely amazing stuff in BB and it comes with real drums....you'd be like a kid in a candy store....... do I want the Havana/African style or the Salsa/African..... hummmmm... or do I want the Bossa Nova New Cuban...... or...... 

I can spend hours just listening to a chord progression played in dozens of styles...and love every one of them.....well...almost....

George Pendergast: Essential Percussion.  This is a steal at $29.95.  They are not midi, but acidized wavs.  I highly recommend it.

Thanks all. I've got Jamcussion installed now, and there's plenty of stuff for me to play about with. Looks pretty complicated, but so is everything else until you get to know it.

Cheers
