01Overview

This Patchworx pack from Loopmasters is built around drum and bass sound design by Icicle. It covers the core elements of a DnB track, including basses, Reese basses, pads, risers, stabs, leads, drums and percussion. Each preset is paired with MIDI files and rendered WAV loops, so you can hear a patch in context and adapt its parts to your own arrangement. The pack is designed for producers who already use Serum and want ready-to-use synth sounds in a specific genre.

03In depth

Basses, Reese Basses and Pads in the Pack

The core of the collection is 20 bass sounds: 10 general basses and 10 Reese basses. Reese-style patches are a staple of drum and bass, so this split gives you a direct starting point for both mid-range and sub-heavy lines.

The pack also includes 10 pads, 4 stabs and 4 leads. These cover the harmonic and melodic layers of a track, from sustained backgrounds to short chordal hits and lead lines.

The Patchworx series is aimed at producers who want genre-specific sounds designed by people working in the genre, so these presets are best used as a starting point you can tweak rather than final mixes.

Drums, Risers, FX and MIDI Files

Beyond synth patches, the pack includes 7 risers, 3 FX, 3 impacts, 3 percussion sounds, 7 drums, 2 arps and 1 beat preset. The percussion and drum presets are built inside Serum, so you can reshape the transients and tone directly in the synth.

The 59 MIDI files are matched to the presets, and the 64 WAV loops are rendered versions that combine each patch with its associated MIDI. This makes it quick to audition a sound, move the rendered loop into your session, or edit the MIDI to write new parts.

All audio content is recorded at 24-bit, 44.1 kHz.
