BORG BASS is an expansion for HALO-2 that focuses on bass and bass-adjacent sounds. The pack includes 50 presets and 35 sample banks covering Hi-Tech bass, grinding reeses, metallic growls, sub bass, whomps and synth stabs. DHPlugins describes the sounds as futuristic, raw, gritty, mechanical and chaotic.

Sound Character and Bass Styles

DHPlugins says BORG BASS was created mainly in the digital domain with current software and processing techniques. The developer describes the sound as designed to feel futuristic, raw, gritty, mechanical, chaotic and powerful.

The pack covers a range of bass styles, including reese basses, growling metallic tones, deep sub bass, whomp-style bass and synth stabs. These cover a wide spectrum from heavy low-end weight to sharper, more percussive stabs.

The developer also notes that custom distortion can be designed to push these sounds further, which makes the pack a useful base for producers who want to shape grit and drive themselves.

What Is Included and Requirements

The expansion contains 50 presets and 35 sample banks. The presets load into HALO-2 and the sample banks provide raw material for further editing and layering.

BORG BASS requires the full version of HALO. It is listed as an expansion for HALO-2, so it will not work without that synth installed.

The pack suits producers working in bass-heavy genres who want aggressive, distorted tones as a starting point for their own sound design.
