01Overview

Urban Trip is a preset collection built for hip hop producers working in trap, boom bap and lo-fi. It was designed by Emeric Zubar, who records as BLAKE, and published by Applied Acoustics Systems. The bank covers classic analog-style tones and a range of more modern sounds, including percussion, bass, keys, leads and effects. Each preset includes macros, so you can morph a sound toward a different character without rebuilding it from scratch.

03In depth

Sound Range and Character

Urban Trip covers both analog-style classics and contemporary textures. The developer lists hard-hitting percussion, deep and rich basses, crunchy melodic keys, soaring leads and peculiar effects among its sounds.

The bank is aimed at beatmakers who need a consistent palette across a full track. Because the sounds sit within one collection, it can help you build a cohesive set of drums, bass and melodic layers.

Macros and Workflow with the VA-3

Every preset comes with macro controls. Applied Acoustics Systems says these let you morph one sound into another, which widens the range of usable tones from a relatively compact set of 100 presets.

The presets load into Ultra-Analog VA-3, so you can adjust the underlying synth parameters after loading a sound and build your own variations from there.
