03In depth

Sound Design Focus: Basses, Leads and Sequences

Resonance Sound says the pack is built around three core areas: raw, driving basses, fat leads and distinctive synth textures, plus bass sequences designed for hard, fast-moving tracks.

The focus on hardtrance, trance and hardelectro points to a clear target sound. Producers working in these genres will find the bass and lead material most relevant, while the 100 patches give a broad starting palette for building a track from scratch or reworking existing ideas.

Workflow with Macro Controls in Massive

Every preset includes a complete macro allocation. Macros group the main parameters of a patch onto controls you can move directly, so you can shape a sound without opening the full synth architecture.

Because the presets are sorted into categories, you can jump between sound types quickly during a session. The pack requires Native Instruments Massive, so it works as an extension of the Massive sound library rather than as a standalone instrument.
