Sound Character and Waveform Content

The pack's 50 waveforms are split into 18 mid-range, 16 aggressive, 9 subby and 7 reese waveforms. This split gives producers a clear route to each bass type: mid-range layers for presence, subs for weight, and reese tones for the classic movement found in drum and bass.

The 101 presets are grouped by character. There are 22 modulated, 19 mid, 16 harsh, 11 swaggy, 11 sub, 8 low, 8 percussive, 4 simple and 2 smooth presets. The harsh and percussive groups suit aggressive, rhythmic basslines, while the sub and low groups target foundation layers.

Requirements and Use in Bass Master

Drum & Bass Warfare requires Bass Master version 1.1.3 or later. The developer notes that Bass Master must be updated to at least this version before the expansion packs can be installed.

Because the presets are designed to sit alongside the stock library, they can be used as a starting point and layered with existing favorites to add low-end weight to a track.
