03In depth

Sound Character and Genre Range

Future Audio Workshop frames this pack around Future Bass, an international genre the developer describes as rapidly evolving. The patches are meant to push boundaries rather than stay within one style.

The developer lists a wide range of target genres, including Acid House, Vaporwave, Trip Hop, Breakcore, Digital Hardcore, Hip-Hop, Neurohop, Trap, Pop and Diva House. That breadth makes the pack relevant to producers working outside Future Bass as well.

Because the sounds are presented as a starting point, they suit producers who prefer to rework presets heavily into their own textures.

Using the Presets with Circle2

The pack is built for Circle2 and cannot be run without it. Future Audio Workshop states that the latest version of its Circle2 Synthesiser is required.

The patches are NKS ready, so they can be browsed and loaded through Maschine and Komplete Kontrol. Producers already working in those environments can navigate the sounds without leaving their controller workflow.

As a City Sounds release, the pack is one interpretation of a genre, so the presets work best as a launch point for sound design rather than as finished sounds.
