01Overview

This expansion is built around the sound of trance in its early 1990s rave era, before the genre became mainstream. The presets are designed for the BA-1 synthesizer and aim at the loud, rough character of that period. NatLife created the preset set, and it is sold as a collection of 64 ready-to-load sounds rather than a standalone instrument. It suits producers who want a specific retro trance flavor without building patches from scratch.

Sound Character of the Early Trance Presets

The presets focus on detuned saw leads, acid-style basslines and wonky electronic effects. NatLife presents these sounds as a celebration of dance music before it went mainstream, and the emphasis is on a loud, gritty tone.

The collection is aimed at producers chasing authentic early trance sounds. The developer suggests loading the presets into BA-1 and setting the tempo to 132 BPM to match the intended feel.

Using the Pack with BA-1

Because the expansion is made for BA-1, it is not a standalone plugin. You load the 64 presets into the BA-1 synth and use them as starting points for leads, basslines and effects in a trance or electronic track.

The presets are a good fit for producers who want quick access to a retro trance palette and then want to shape the sound further inside BA-1.
