Sound pack No. 06 · Techno

TECHNO

Steel, rumble and acid, all night long.

Built for the warehouse: a kit with a rumbling kick, metallic hats and a big clap, rolling, acid and rumble basses, dub chords and metal FM stabs made for a long delay, hypnotic sequences and dark drones, and the sweeps, sci-fi noise and impacts that move a set, from dub techno to acid and peak time.

  1. 01SODIUM134 BPM · 8 bars · 0:31

    Hypnotic techno at 134 in A phrygian: a rumble rolling after every kick, a five-note sequence on every third 16th with the hat a step behind, dark stabs into a long delay and a sweep into the top.

  2. 02LOW TIDE124 BPM · 8 bars · 0:18

    Dub techno at 124 in F minor: one minor 9th chord off the beat, its filter breathing under a long delay, an off-beat tick bass and a held drone.

  3. 03CORROSION138 BPM · 8 bars · 0:30

    Acid techno at 138 in E phrygian: an accented, sliding acid line that opens over eight bars, driving 16th hats, metal plucks and machine noise.

Bass6

  • 09ACID LINEVA

    a saw into a screaming 24 dB ladder; accents open it, slides glide: the acid line

  • 10ACID DRIVEVA

    a saw into a ladder near self-oscillation, driven hard: the distorted acid line

  • 11ROLL BASSVA

    a dark resonant saw, short and tight: rolling 16ths that leave the kick alone

  • 12TICK BASSFM

    a dark FM body that snaps shut with a ticking 7:1 click on the front: the minimal off-beat bass

  • 13DEEP THUDFM

    a sine pair that knocks in sharp over a held grit, with a fast flutter: the rumble bass between the kicks

  • 14RUMBLEVA

    a driven triangle under a low filter that pulses at 4 Hz: the warehouse rumble

Chords & keys5

  • 15DUB CHORDVA

    a dark pulse chord through a resonant 12 dB filter, short: made for a long delay

  • 16DEEP STABFM

    a dark FM chord whose index closes like a filter, a sub under it: the dub stab for the delay

  • 17FM STABFM

    three detuned FM pairs, bright and short: the rave and house stab with a detune you hear

  • 18RAVE STABVA

    seven detuned saws, a quick snap: the early-90s rave chord (two or three notes)

  • 19CLANG STABFM

    two detuned bodies struck into steel by a 3.5:1 and a 1.41:1 modulator: the metal chord stab

Leads4

  • 20METAL PLKFM

    two inharmonic FM pairs that snap shut: the metallic techno pluck for sequences

  • 21HYPNO SEQFM

    a nasal 3:1 index that snaps shut over a body, its octave and a sine: the hypnotic sequence pluck

  • 22RESO SEQVA

    a resonant saw blip: the techno sequence voice that sings when you turn RESO

  • 23SQUELCHVA

    a saw lead on the edge of self-oscillation, driven hard: the acid lead that cuts

Pads4

  • 24DARK PADVA

    a low saw with a slow filter attack and a slower LFO: dark, moving, long

  • 25HOLLOWVA

    a pulse and a breath of noise through a band pass that swells: hollow, airy chords for the delay

  • 26EVOLVERVA

    a resonant saw under a twelve-second filter LFO: chords that keep changing colour over a long build

  • 27DRONEVA

    saw, sub and noise under a resonant filter that moves over half a minute: the dark drone under a track

FX5

  • 28PINGFM

    a pure sine ping with a touch of FM colour: the bloop of minimal and dub techno

  • 29SCIFIVA

    a resonant saw that sample-and-hold throws around in pitch and tone eight times a second: sci-fi bleeps

  • 30SWEEPVA

    white noise through a resonant high pass that a slow LFO sweeps up and down: the build into a turn

  • 31FACTORYVA

    noise and a square through a driven resonant band pass that sample-and-hold throws around: machines

  • 32STEEL HITFM

    a boom, a steel clang and a feedback wash all falling from a fifth up: the metal impact on the one

In the other banks
