Reggaetón & Dancehall rhythms are key ingredients for some of the greatest pop hits of the past half-decade, and the Dembow groove is only on the rise.

Getting a round bottom end, tasty percussion, and a snare that smacks can mean hours of mixing to lock everything in... but with RICO, you'll never have to do it from scratch.

Countless Style Options

20 different styles allow you to manipulate hundreds of rhythms, everywhere from light to thumping beats.

There are classic and more traditional latin rhythms like Paso A Paso; offbeat rhythms that break away from 4 to the floor like Perreo, in case you want to get creative; and hard-hitting beats in Styles like Pichudo.

Combine these with one of 10 different kits and you’ll never run out of options!

Chop It Up

Never settle for boring, the Mix settings allow you to quickly switch between various multi-effect profiles and completely punch up your sound!

Delay and garble your beats with The Grinder, add extreme distortion with Wrecking Ball or liquify everything with Good 2 Go, putting your own spin on reggaetón with just a few clicks.

Dembow Riddims

RICO is the perfect complement to club, EDM, hip hop, and other rhythm-focused pop genres. If you want to get the party going as quickly as possible, this is the tool to do it!

A Quick Fix, Every Time

Select your Kit, Style and Mix presets and you're off! With three simple controls, you have an endless palette of reggaetón, moombahton and pop beats to dial up the energy in moments, no more searching for samples.
