Octane & DLR - Drum & Bass FM8 Presets is a 64-patch soft synth preset pack for Native Instruments FM8, created by Octane and DLR for Loopmasters as part of the Patchworx series.
The pack covers the core sounds of drum and bass and dubstep production: tearing basses, dark arpeggios, twisted FX, synths and leads, and pads. Each preset ships with a matching MIDI file, so you can hear the patch and the musical part it was designed for. Loopmasters describes the set as part of its Patchworx series, built for producers who want genre-specific sounds to start or finish their own parts. The pack requires Native Instruments FM8 to run.
The pack contains 64 FM8 presets, each paired with a MIDI file. The breakdown is 33 bass presets, 13 FX presets, 11 pad presets, 6 synth and lead presets, and one arpeggio preset.
The bass group is the largest part of the set, which fits the pack's focus on drum and bass and dubstep. The FX and pad presets add texture and atmosphere around those basses and leads.
Loopmasters says the presets were created by the production duo Octane and DLR for this release. The developer describes the sounds as dark, twisted and menacing, with examples including dirty growls, menacing leads, super subs, glassy pads and twisted FX.
Because every patch is an FM8 preset, you can edit its FM8 parameters after loading it, so the factory sounds can serve as starting points rather than finished results.
