01Overview

AZS Dystopia Razor Vol. 2 continues the Dystopia series with 64 new presets built for Native Instruments Razor. Razor's additive synthesis engine is capable, but getting usable sounds from it takes time. This bank gives you a starting point. Its main focus is on bass and percussive sounds, and the developer says it suits darker house and techno. The presets also include ethereal pads and aggressive synth tones that go beyond typical analog-style sounds.

Bass and Percussion for Dark House and Techno

The strongest part of this bank is its bass and percussion content. It includes 19 bass presets and 15 percussion presets, which together make up more than half of the 64 patches.

Resonance Sound describes the overall character as cutting edge, even when the presets approximate more classic sounds. That makes the bank a fit for producers working in darker house and techno who want rhythmic and low-end material that sits outside typical analog tones.

Pads, Synths and FX Within the Bank

Beyond the bass and percussion focus, the bank includes 8 pad presets, 13 synth presets and 9 FX presets. The additive engine is well suited to ethereal textures and atmospheric pads, according to the developer.

Velocity and mod wheel assignments are built into many of the presets, so expression can be controlled from your MIDI keyboard without extra setup.
