Dub & Reggae: Maschine Expansion of Dub and Reggae Kits by Niche Audio

The collection focuses on the core rhythm and tone of dub and reggae. Niche Audio describes the drums as classic, and the basslines as low and booming. Guitar skanking adds the offbeat chords typical of reggae.

The developer highlights deep delays and near-endless reverbs as a key part of the dub sound. These effects give the kits their spacious, dubby character, and they suit producers building roots reggae, dub or dub-influenced tracks.

Niche Audio says it selects sounds for authenticity and quality, so the kits are meant to be usable in real projects, not only as demos.

The Maschine version contains 15 groups, 15 starter projects and 22 specially programmed Massive presets. It also includes 238 samples, which can be used as a starting point for your own arrangements.

The starter projects give you a complete setup to open and begin working with, so you can audition the kits in context before building your own patterns.

The Massive presets add synth sounds to the drum and bass groups, which helps when you want to extend the reggae and dub palette beyond the sampled material.
