Hear what the sound pack can do, then put a song on your FM-1 and take it apart. Each one goes into an empty project slot; nothing is replaced without asking.
01SLOW BURN100 BPM · 8 bars · 0:22
A soul-funk groove at 100 in A dorian: an FM bass that plays with the kick, short electric piano chords off the beat, ghost snares, and a low, bluesy lead in the second half.
02LIVE WIRE122 BPM · 8 bars · 0:34
Electro breaks at 122 in D minor: a broken kick, a punch bass that jumps octaves, a three-step pluck against the bar, saw stabs, and strings over the second half.

a square and a sub with a quick filter bounce, round on the low end: the off-beat bass

three detuned FM pairs that bloom and fall with the note: the brass hit for accents and pushes

two close saws under a round 24 dB filter, a soft attack and a light vibrato: the warm lead that sings a hook

a pure triangle with a slow vibrato and a glide: the soft lead for a gentle melody

a 1:1.41 clang over a sine with a third partial: the clean bell pluck for melodies and arps

saws and noise that fade in slowly and stop dead: the reverse-style swell into a downbeat
