Sound Palette and Kit Contents

The main kits include processed drums, omni percussion, smooth pads and chords, subsonic basses and vocal hits, with 16 samples in each kit. Niche Audio says the kits are designed to reflect the current Tech House scene while also nodding to the classic sound of the genre.

The two additional kits focus on synth tones and special FX, giving you extra material for sample layering. Across the collection, the Maschine version includes 246 samples and the Ableton Live version includes 266 WAV samples.

Editable Presets, MIDI Patterns and Projects

Each kit is built as an editable preset, so you can work directly with the patterns, MIDI notes, samples and mix. The developer notes that the kits are mixed with EQ, compression, delay and reverb, and that instant sample swapping is possible within the mix.

The collection includes 136 MIDI patterns in both formats. The Ableton Live version contains 15 Live Sets, 13 custom drum racks, 2 instrument drum racks and 16 chord and 16 bass Simpler presets. The Maschine version contains 5 project files to use as starting points.
