Sound Engine and Core Controls

SUBSTANCE uses a three-layer engine. Each layer is a separate source, and the layers are blended into one sound. Layer FX and global FX shape the result, and the filters and modulation options let you move it over time.

Each preset includes four central macro sliders, so you can control several parameters from one place. The advanced arpeggiator and monophonic and legato modes cover both rhythmic and single-line playing. A rhythm page syncs to your project tempo.

The preset menu uses smart tagging to help you find sounds quickly, and the built-in help menu is available inside the plugin.

Presets, Samples and Bundle Contents

The bundle includes 300 SUBSTANCE presets that you can load as a starting point or edit from scratch. The Booty Bass Expansion Pack adds 100 presets for Notes Mode, designed for use with SUBSTANCE. Its NKS compatibility requires Kontakt 5.6.6 or higher.

Future Drum & Bass from Loopmasters contains 1.7 GB of 24-bit, 44.1 kHz material, including over 350 loops across drums, bass, leads, pads and percussion, plus 427 REX2 files and 10 soft sampler patches. The content is royalty free for your productions.

The Producertech Bass Mixing Techniques course runs 90 minutes and shows how to mix bass using Live's built-in effects. It also includes 10 free FX rack presets.
