MIDI Styles Set 51: Brit 80s Rock 2

Let's face it, the second British Rock invasion, in the 1980s, yielded far too many mega-hit grooves to be covered in just one Styles Set. That's why we've created this great new Styles Set 51 (a continuation of Styles Set 49) Brit 80s Rock-2, with 20 all-new Styles. Inspired by the grooves and sounds that came out of the British Rock groups of the 1980s, the Styles in Brit 80s Rock-2 cover rhythmic feels like: slow, medium and fast tempos, even and swung 8th and 16ths ballads, Rock-Latin, Reggae, Rock-Country, Rock-Jazz, Rock-Blues, and more.
