Sounds, Drum Kits and Clips

The pack includes 74 original sounds for the 4OSC and Multi Sampler instruments. Each sound is provided both as a preset and as a Track Loop, so you can load it as an instrument patch or drop the loop straight onto a track.

For percussion, there are two kits for the Drum Sampler, made up of 30 sounds in total. Tracktion also includes 14 drum-focussed Step Clips for building rhythmic patterns quickly.

For melodic and harmonic ideas, the pack adds 19 instrument MIDI clips that you can route to any of the included or your own instruments.

Who It Is For and What You Need

Techno Essentials is aimed at producers who use Waveform and want a starting point in techno-oriented styles. Because the content spans several substyles, it can serve as a source of raw material for different parts of a track, from drums and basses to sustained textures.

The pack requires Waveform. It is compatible with both Waveform Free 13 and Waveform Pro 13, so you can use it whichever edition you run.
