Sounds, Kits and Clips Included

The pack contains 61 original sounds for the 4OSC and Multi Sampler instruments. Each sound is supplied as a preset and as a Track Loop, so you can either load the instrument directly or drop the loop into a project for quick auditioning.

For percussion, two Drum Sampler kits comprise 22 sounds in total. Five drum-focused Step Clips provide rhythmic patterns, and nine bass-focused MIDI clips give you note material for basslines.

The developer describes the kit as aimed at deep, aggressive and authentic drum and bass music.

Who It Is For

Drum & Bass Essentials suits Waveform users who want a head start on drum and bass arrangements. The step clips and MIDI clips are useful as starting patterns that you can edit, while the presets and loops give you sounds to shape.

Because the content is split between instruments, drum kits and clips, you can use all of it together or pull individual elements into an existing project.
