01Overview

Essential Dubstep for Spire Vol.1 is built around Reveal Sound's Spire synth and is aimed at producers working in bass-heavy electronic styles. The pack spans 64 presets, including basses, leads, arps, plucks, pads, synths, FX, a drum preset and sequence presets. Resonance Sound says the presets were created by Derrek and are intended for dubstep, drum & bass, complextro, electro house and EDM. Modwheel and velocity modulation are assigned in the presets, so expressive control is available out of the box. The pack requires Spire, with Reveal Sound Spire v1.0.18 or later.

03In depth

What's inside the Essential Dubstep preset bank

The pack is organized by sound type. It includes 22 bass presets, the largest group, plus 3 bass sequence presets for rhythmic bass lines. Melodic and textural content is covered by 6 pluck presets, 4 synth presets and 2 pad presets. Movement and transitions come from 5 arp presets, 6 FX presets, 1 sequence preset and 1 drum preset.

Because the bank is weighted toward basses and sequences, it suits producers who start a track from the low end and build outward. The plucks and synths can serve as leads or supporting layers in the same arrangement.

Modulation and Spire compatibility

Each preset has modwheel and velocity modulation assigned, which lets you shape movement and dynamics live during performance or while recording MIDI. The pack is made for Spire, so it will not load in other synths.

The pack needs Reveal Sound Spire v1.0.18 or later. Check that your installed version of Spire meets this requirement before installing.
