UK GARAGE
Skippy beats, sweet chords, bass that bends.
Everything for UK garage on the FM-1: a punchy 2-step kit that skips beat three, sub, warped, organ and donk basses, skippy 7th and 9th chords, organ and piano stabs and a glassy R&B electric piano, vocal chops, a bell, R&B pads and strings, and the rewind and air horn for the MC's moment.

01LATE TEXT132 BPM · 4 bars · 0:17
2-step at 132 in C minor, swung hard: a kick that skips beat 3, shuffled hats and rimshots, minor 9th EP chords chopped on the shuffle, a sliding sub and vowel chops.
02PIRATE RADIO130 BPM · 8 bars · 0:32
Dark 4x4 garage at 130 in D minor: a warp bass rolling between the kicks, skip chords on the off 16ths, swung hats, a three-note vocal and a backspin at the turn.

Bass6
09SUB SINEVA
a clean sine sub with just enough drive to be heard: the layer under GROWL, DNB SAWS or a kick-heavy groove
10WARP BASSVA
a driven pulse and sub with a 3 Hz filter wobble: the warped garage bass
11DEEP ORGANFM
a triangle and a square a fifth up over a steady sine: the 90s house organ bass at full level
12SPEED BASSFM
an octave carrier whose FM index wobbles over a steady sine, scooping into every note: the warped bass
13DONKFM
two FM pairs whose index snaps shut as the pitch drops in: the donk, bouncing
14TWIN SAWFM
two saw-ish FM pairs detuned so they beat, a sine under them: the dnb detune bass, FM style
Chords & keys6
15SKIP CHORDVA
a soft round saw chord, short: the skippy 7ths of 2-step
16SOFT CHORDVA
a soft drifting saw chord that plucks and rings into the delay: chords that float
17PIANO STABVA
a pulse with a hard filter strike and a fast fall: the bright garage piano stab
182STEP PNOFM
two bodies struck hard and a bright octave with a sparkle: the stab piano of 90s garage
19STEP ORGANFM
8', 4' and the twelfth that strike bright and settle low, a key click: the garage organ stab
20SATIN EPFM
a barking body and a glassy octave with an inharmonic shimmer: the R&B electric piano for 7ths and 9ths
Leads5
21VOX LEADVA
a saw through a resonant band pass: an 'aah' vowel that BRIGHT turns into another
22VOWEL CHOPFM
a short sung syllable from FM formants with a little scoop: the vocal chop for garage hooks
23PLINKVA
a triangle mallet, short and sweet: counter-melodies between the stabs
24PLUCKYVA
a saw pluck with a fast filter fall: bright on the hit, gone before the next
25SKY BELLFM
a 1:1.73 clang and a high mode over a sine: a bright, airy bell for answers and turnarounds
Pads4
26R&B PADVA
a round triangle pad that drifts and swells softly: warm chords under a voice
27SHIMMERVA
seven saws up high and a little noise in a slow swell: a bright shimmer over the beat
28LUSH STRNGVA
a wide saw ensemble under a dark filter, a slow bow and a gentle vibrato: the strings of a garage ballad
29HUSH PADFM
a soft hum with a breath of air above it, slow and still: the pad under a garage vocal
FX3
30UPSWEEPVA
noise through a resonant band pass that a slow filter envelope sweeps from the floor to the top
31BACKSPINFM
saw-ish FM thrown up and dragged down while it warbles: the rewind, the pull-up before the drop
32HORN BLASTFM
brassy FM pairs that beat, scoop up and flutter: the sound-system air horn for the MC's moment
