Sound pack No. 08 · Jungle and drum & bass

DNB

Fast breaks, deep subs, dark rollers.

Everything for 170 and up: a break kit with a cracking snare and a second one for the ghosts, beating detune basses, clean subs and FM growls, dark stabs, the hoover and the rave piano, a liquid electric piano with strings, a bell and an airy choir, and skank organ, horns, a siren and the rewind for jungle.

  1. 01LOW CLOUD174 BPM · 8 bars · 0:25

    Liquid drum & bass at 174 in B minor: a two-step break with rolling ghost snares, a sub on the kick, minor 9th EP chords, a choir in the second and fourth phrase and a few bell notes.

  2. 02RAZOR WIRE170 BPM · 8 bars · 0:25

    A dark jungle roller at 170 in C# phrygian: a chopped break with ratchet rolls, a reese bass leaning on the flat 2nd, darkside stabs, and a pad humming under the second half.

Bass7

  • 09DNB SAWSVA

    seven barely detuned saws and a sub under a slowly breathing filter: the beating detune bass of drum & bass

  • 10TECHSTEPVA

    seven wider saws, a sub and drive under a slowly moving filter: the dark beating detune bass

  • 11NEUROVA

    a driven resonant saw that a 6 Hz sample-and-hold chops: growl without a second oscillator

  • 12GROWLFM

    a sub-octave FM index that opens and wobbles: the talking growl, layer it over SUB SINE

  • 13TALKERFM

    an octave carrier whose FM index swells and falls on every note: the bass that talks

  • 14DNB SUBVA

    a driven triangle through a low filter: a clean sub with just enough harmonics to be heard

  • 15DUB SUBVA

    a round sine and sub under a soft filter with a little glide: the dub bass you feel

Chords & keys5

  • 16LIQUID EPFM

    a mellow bark, a glassy tine and a gentle tremolo over three bodies: the soft electric piano of liquid rollers

  • 17RAVE PIANOFM

    a hard FM hammer over two detuned bodies, a hollow bite and a bonk: the bright rave piano stab

  • 18DARKSIDEVA

    a driven saw chord with a resonant snap: the dark minor stab of 1993

  • 19SKANK ORGFM

    a short round organ chord with an octave and a fifth: the bubble on the off-beat

  • 20RAGGA STABFM

    three horn pairs that blare in from a little flat with a reedy edge, then fall off: the jungle reggae stab

Leads4

  • 21HOOVERVA

    seven pulses with fast width movement and a long glide: the rave hoover, one voice that bends between notes

  • 22FM SYNCFM

    FM index sweeps that tear through the harmonics on every note: the sync lead, from FM

  • 23RAIN BELLFM

    a round body, a fading 5:1 glass and a detuned octave partial: the bell lead that rings into the delay

  • 24GLIDE SAWVA

    a single saw under a soft 24 dB filter, a long legato glide and a slow vibrato: the liquid lead

Pads4

  • 25JUNGLE PADVA

    saw and breath noise, a slow swell and a gentle LFO: the airy pad over a fast break

  • 26SKY CHOIRFM

    a soft body, a high 'eeh' on the fourth harmonic and a wide ensemble, slow: the airy choir

  • 27LIQUID STRVA

    a dark saw ensemble that bows in slowly, a light vibrato: the strings behind a liquid roller

  • 28SPACE PADVA

    a triangle and a breath of noise under a resonant filter that drifts open and shut: deep space

FX4

  • 29SIRENVA

    a pulse swung up and down seven semitones twice a second: the dub siren

  • 30LASERFM

    a sine that dives two octaves in a tenth of a second: the laser zap, tuned

  • 31TEARFM

    FM indexes that open while the pitch rises, falls and flutters: the neuro tear between the drops

  • 32REWINDFM

    a feedback wash swept up two octaves while a falling LFO spins it: the rewind, pull it up
