Sounds from BLKRTZ is a 100-preset sound bank for the Ultra-Analog VA-3 synthesizer, created by the producer Deadbeat. It covers basses, subs, chords, stabs, ambient clouds and evolving sequences.
The bank draws on Deadbeat's work across dub, dubstep, ambient, house and techno. Subs and bass sit at the center of the collection, with presets aimed at deep low end and bright, shimmering highs. The set also includes evolving chords and stabs, atmospheric textures and slowly moving sequences that can serve as starting points for your own productions.
Low-end sounds are the core of this preset bank. The developer's dubwise approach shows in the basses and subs, which are designed to push the Ultra-Analog VA-3 toward its heavy low extremes.
The bank also covers brighter territory. Shimmering high-register patches and evolving pads give you contrast to the bass material, so you can build a full arrangement from one instrument.
Beyond bass, the collection includes chords and stabs, ambient clouds and slowly evolving sequences. Deadbeat says the synth is a go-to tool for bass lines, and the bank also demonstrates its use as a vocoder carrier signal, vintage-sounding pads and acid-style lines.
The presets suit dubstep, ambient and deep house or techno work, and they can be tweaked further as you explore the instrument.
