Sound Types and Macro Control in Tech Drum & Bass Presets

The pack is organized into eight categories: Arp, Bass, Drone, FX, Lead, Pad, Perc and Stab. The category counts are 6, 39, 3, 7, 13, 12, 5 and 15 presets, so basses and stabs make up a large share of the set.

Each preset has macros that give control over the tone and the level of the effects applied. The developer also notes numerous track automation options, which lets you shape movement in a track from a single interface rather than editing many parameters separately.

Included Loops, MIDI Files and Who the Pack Suits

5Pin Media includes 37 WAV drum and vocal loops and one-shots, plus 29 MIDI files. The developer says the drums heard in the demo track were sourced from Mnml Tech Drum & Bass.

The pack suits producers who already use Massive X and want ready-made sounds for Tech Drum & Bass tracks. It is also useful for anyone who wants starting points they can then edit.
