03In depth

Kicks, Basses and Leads for Hardcore Production

The core of the pack is its low end and lead sounds. It includes 25 Gabber and Frenchcore kicks, 13 basses and 28 Hardstyle leads and plucks, giving you the building blocks for a full track in these styles.

The pack also includes 20 sounds made with the Metasonix S-1000, adding a more aggressive, distorted character to the mix. These sounds are useful for layering or for building a sound from scratch in the MPC.

Because the sounds are organized as Keygroup programs, you can play them across the pads and keys to sketch patterns quickly.

Vocals, FX and Atmosphere

For drama and transitions, the pack adds 17 spoken vocal lines, 12 FX and 5 strings and pads. A further 10 choir stabs and rave chords give you extra harmonic material for breakdowns and drops.

The pack covers 452 individual samples in total, so you can pick and mix elements from different programs. The developer describes the sounds as suited to a harsh, uncompromising style rather than softer club genres.

The pack is tailored to genres such as Hardcore, Gabber, Frenchcore, Hardstyle, Mainstyle, Hands-up, EBM, Splittercore, Speedcore, Noizecore and Terror.
