03In depth

Bass, Leads and Sound Character

RAW centers on bass, with sounds that the developer describes as thundering and floor-shaking. The library also includes leads, stabs and subs, so the pack covers more than low end alone.

According to DHPlugins, the presets were built from two analog hardware synthesizers combined with modern software processing. That mix is intended to give the sounds a dense, gritty character that you can then shape further inside HALO's processing chain.

Because the presets are routed through HALO's sequencers, the sounds are meant to be used as rhythmic, performance-ready patches rather than static pads.

Who RAW Is For and What You Need

RAW is aimed at producers working in bass-heavy styles who want ready-made heavy sounds rather than building them from scratch. The developer positions it for jump-up and heavyweight needs.

The pack is an expansion for HALO-2 and requires the full version of HALO 2.0.5 or later. It does not work with HALO LITE, so check your HALO edition before buying.

The 200 presets and 64 sample banks give you a large starting library for sketching bass lines, lead parts and stabs quickly.
