DJ TIESTO

SOR – Kick Free Revolution Vol.2
An excellent follow up of the Kick Free Volume 1 set. Easy to fit in any production because it has everything ranging from tight and dry hihat loops to creative beats with effects, clicks, percussive sounds and extreme beats.

SOR – FX Revolution Vol.1
Another classic added to our collection! This is a great sample library with loads of new and fresh fx sounds. Not just to use, but to be inspired by!

SOR – Kick Free Revolution Vol.1
This library is unique in it’s contents, because it’s programmed with kicks which were taken out later. So they are built to work with big kicks! Not just cut loops to create room for a kick. Now that’s the kind of hard work we like to hear!

SOR – Electro House Revolution Vol.1
Again sounds of revolution brings us an excellent sample library. Very usable to get things on the tracks quickly with a wide variety of kicks, loops and synths but also stacked with loads of creative elements to finetune any production!

SOR – Club Revolution Vol.1
Not just loops with kicks filtered off, full spectrum! Big sounds, revolutionary and unique in it’s kind.

RICHARD DEVINE

D16 PunchBox Bassdrum Synthesizer
D16’s PunchBox, is one of the best kick drum synthesis instruments I have come across. The combination of built in synthesis and vast factory samples, allow you to make almost any kick drum imaginable, absolutely incredible!

BT

SOR – Revolution JP8000/8080 Vol.2
Dude the SOR patches are fucking spectacular. I didn’t know my JP-8000 and Virus could make sounds that good. Honestly, no joke: They are the baddest ass patches I’ve ever heard for those synths. THANK YOU MAN!

NIC CHAGALL

SOR – FX Revolution Vol.1
Oliver Schmitt continually finds ways to raise the bar for sound design.

SOR – Club Revolution Vol.1
[…] marks a new milestone in sound design. It´s the most inspiring sample cd I have ever encountered! […] CR1 is so much better than the standard sample libraries with their boring ripped content and it rocks in ways that other developers can only dream of.

SANTAFLOW

D16 PunchBox Bassdrum Synthesizer
I love D16. Syntorus is in all my productions, giving character and strengh to my strings and synths. Devastor2 is thrilling in bass and drums. Right now I’m discovering PunchBox, and I can see infinite posibilities to create completely custom kick drums.

BLANK & JONES

SOR – Club Revolution Vol.1
[…] Even the kick free loops are not just low cutted, they are just programmed without the Kick, leaving the sound spectrum untouched! This gives you much more opportunities and they are fitting perfectly into your sound context.

ADAM BEYER

SOR – Kick Free Revolution Vol.1
Very well put togheter collection of usable loops, will defenatly incoporate some of them in my production!

PIG & DAN

D16 PunchBox Bassdrum Synthesizer
Punchbox is hands down the most versatile goto plug in for creating unique juicy kick drums. The flexibility of parameters enables quick and effective creativity without stumping your flow. These days the Kick is the root of all music and has become possibly the most prominent groove setter in all realms of genre.
Punchbox brings all the juicy warmth with buckets of grit however without losing the punch it’s title suggests.

ROBERT BABICZ

D16 PunchBox Bassdrum Synthesizer
One of my goto places for a kick at the moment, very punchy and flexible kicks from the PunchBox.

MARTIN EYERER / RIVERSIDE STUDIOS BERLIN

Audio Boutique – Techno Elements 3.0
Top notch sounding loops and sounds from Audioboutique again! Great selection to get inspired and perfect tools for the next tunes. Will definitely use a lot.

Audio Boutique – Atmos, Textures & Noise Elements
Perfekt stuff to get your production sounding controlled dirty and analog.Also nice ambient moods and textures I can always use Love the whole package and will use a lot!

JONATHAN GRANT (ABOVE & BEYOND)

SOR – FX Revolution Vol.1
…delicately put together and brilliant for adding polish to productions.

SOR – Kick Free Revolution Vol.1
The DVD KICK FREE Revolution is essential – what’s great is the material sounds very fresh. We’re already using this in our productions, and it’s very easy to drop them into apple loops and get working straight away!

JASON NEVINS

D16 PunchBox Bassdrum Synthesizer
Punchbox is one of the most advanced and editable bass drum / kick synths out there. Although I have other similar pluins- which do have their own great features…Punchbox delivers an amazing sound design backend as well. It basically has a 500 series rack of gear just for your drums. Bitcrusher, distortion, filter, eq and limiter are all built in. You start with the basic drum sound, whether a 909, 808, 606 or sine wave and tweak away from there. You can completely customize your sound to the smallest definition of what you are looking for. The faceplate is very cool as well- completely retro and realistic. This was well thought out and the sound is incredible!

Resonance Sound – Vintage Movie Vocals 3
Nice collection of old movie dialog which could be useful for the right situation. The way to make these work would probably be best cut up and edited to make interesting sayings. The quality is quite good and sounds like they ran the audio through processing to make it more interesting. Rating: 8/10

Resonance Sound – Complextro & Electro House for Spire
Excellent noisy, dirty, hard sounds for Spire. These sound different than many big synths on the market. Whether its the way the synth was designed or the way the programmer tweak these sounds- it doesnt matter to me, because they are simply amazing. For example- the feel/ texture of these sounds are different than whats in Nex%$ or Sylen*&, 2 of the other greatest synths/ romplers out there. With sound sets like this, it puts Spire in the same category…The quality of the sound that comes from the Spire is very thick and full of body. Great variety in sounds- this is an excellent set for an excellent synth. Rating: 10/10

CFA-Sound – Spire Evolution Vol.1
Great soundset from Resonance Audio for the Spire synth. Loads of big room/ festival sounds. This is a basic yet pretty good synth- having a soundset like this turns it into a great synth. The basses in this set are so thick and loud you have to use a brickwall limiter so you dont into the red! Rating: 8/10

CFA-Sound – Massive Electro House Tools
Great job from CFA Sound & Resonance Sound. Great sounds for any EDM project. Having the MIDI construction kits are amazing because you can really get a feel of what each of the sounds can do. You can either use the construction kit as a starting point- or take it in your own direction. The kits also make it easy to use each sound individually in other tracks because you now know what each sound can produce. All the sounds in this pack range from the mild to super hard. NI’s Massive is a great synth but having these essential presets make it even better. Rating: 9/10

CFA-Sound – Massive Complextro Tools WAV Edition
You get 7 synth ONLY construction kits in this pack along with a folder of one shot synth sounds. There are NO drums in this pack- only synth loops. Everything is split very carefully- which is cool so you can edit and change around all parts. They provide a complete bass loop as well as multiple stems that make up each full loop. They also provide dry and wet versions of the synths, making it easy for editing. This proabably should have been called ‘Massive Complextro Synths’ instead of ‘Tools’ becuase everything in this are synths but they did a great job with it! Rating: 8/10

Audio Boutique – Big Room Elements
A very comprehensive set from Resonance Sound ! They dont skimp on this one ! You get everything you need and more to create big room EDM tracks. Tons of clap loops, cymbal loops, kick loops, percussion and top loops. You also get fills, hits, risers and vocals. One main part of this set are the “Themes”. The Themes are basically song starters- but with a lot more…you get the midi files, starts & ends as well as the Sylenth presets from which they made the sounds. This is an excellent set- well worth the money. Rating: 10/10

Swen Weber – Electromatic 2
Amazing loopset from Swen Weber- one of his best yet. Really clean and tight loops with a mainroom electro/ Swedish sound. I would have loved Apple Loops to be available- but well worth it as is. You get bass loops, kick loops, lead loops, full mixed loops, top loops & some vocal loops. The main body of this set are the bass loops and synth loops, which are excellent. Loads of inspiration and lots to create from. Rating: 9/10

Swen Weber – Electromatic
Awesome set of electro club elements. Pounding kick drums, crisp percussive loops, crunchy bass loops and tight synth loops make this a well rounded package. The vocal loops really cool, cut-up bits you can definitely fit into any cool club record. The synth loops are a combination of bleepy sounds with full on synth riffs. My favorites are the kicks, toploops & bass sounds. The midi & sampler patches are a great addition to the .wav files. Rating: 9/10

CFA-Sound – Massive Complextro Tools
For complextro bass sounds- its hard to find much better than this. The bass sounds are hard as HELL ! Mostly already arpeggiated- which is amazing, these sounds are straight up complextro or dubstep. Either way- they sound perfect. The leads are ok, but the fx sounds and bass sounds are what you are buying this for. Great job by CFA !! Rating: 10/10

SOR – Kick Free Revolution Vol.1
The minute I got my hands on the SOR series – I put the sounds & loops to work in all my productions and big name remixes.

JAM EL MAR

SOR – Revolution JD800/990 Vol.3
SOR is a must for any electronic musician. Their versatile and fast applicable sounds fit excellent to any playback. The JD800 sounds are perfect for styles like trance. The sounds of SOR belong to my fixed sound repertoire.

DASH BERLIN

SOR – Kick Free Revolution Vol.1
KICK FREE Revolution Vol. 1″ is a well-constructed and innovative collection of usable and inspirational samples by German producer Oliver Schmitt. It’s fresh and original. Highly recommended!

TIMO MAAS

SOR – Minimal Techno Revolution Vol.1
I have to say very cool library! All the sounds are very well recorded and manipulated. Other products sometimes are too “clear”…you use cool distortions / chorus / eventide effects etc…..also the kicks are super fat!

SOR – Kick Free Revolution Vol.1
Very complex grooves and well constructions. The sounds are unique.

STEFAN BODZIN

SOR – Kick Free Revolution Vol.1
All the stuff beyond the kick is to find here!! up2date-loops that will push your production to the pro-level. innovative ideas & a very sophisticated sound-desing make this one a secret weapon 😉 TIP

GUY J

D16 PunchBox Bassdrum Synthesizer
I love PunchBox! The sound is great! It’s so easy to make changes and i am already using it for my upcoming production!

OLIVER LIEB

Audio Boutique – Techno Elements 3.0
Nice new pack by Audio Boutique. Techno Elements are loop tools and parts worth to be checked out if you are looking for some inspiration.

FRANK BECKERS

Audio Boutique – Techno Elements 3.0
In an oversaturated market of medium quality Techno Sample-CDs containing pretty much the same content, this collection really stands out. Almost everything you hear is unique, usefull and has the best possible sound quality without being overprocessed. Really excited to include this impressive pack in my future projects.

KAISERDISCO

Audio Boutique – Techno Elements 2.0
Lots of useful samples. perfectly sounding one shots, punchy kicks and crispy hats. Carefully selected and well designed sounds.

THOMAS GOLD

CFA-Sound – TITAN-2 Xfer Serum Presets
This is one of those preset packs you can’t go wrong with. All is well prgrammed and you can use many of the sounds imediately without further tweaking (which I would of course recommend though). All basic types of sounds are covered, basses sound fat and can cut through the mix easily; plucks sound fresh and clean; I like the selection of lead sounds which you can use for any kind of 2019 dance/edm/house/club prodution. There is some basic stuff as well as a few rather edgy and crazy sounds. The sounds also fit well together, so you could easily put together an entire production using only this preset collection. Nice one. Rating: 9/10

D16 PunchBox Bassdrum Synthesizer
First of all, I love the GUI, it looks gritty and vintage but still is very intuitive and easy to use. You start the plugin and basically no manual needed. Dial in a sound and there you go. To put it simple, the overall sound is amazing. The kicks are fat, warm, tight, punchy, clean, dirty, long, short, etc. – anything is possible. Kicks are either fixed note or playable over the keyboard which is great. Regarding the sound design, I absolutely love the fact that you have so many options . With three separate sections for Click, Tops and Tools you have more than enough possibilities to enhance your basic kick sound with any sound you like to, and it’s fun to play around with the filers and strereo spread of these sections. The basic kick processors has a tight sound and all the models sound sick! I also love the different FX options, they really can make your kick sound special and add even more versatility. Really a fan of this beast and I am definitely going to use this for my future productions! 10 out of 10!

Resonance Sound – Progressive House for Spire
Solid soundset with loads of cool presets. all patches are well programmed and instantly usable. almost every aspect of a typical edm track is covered and it is easy to tweak the sounds to make them fit into productions. good stuff. Rating: 9/10

Resonance Sound – Complextro & Electro House for Spire
nice and useful soundset! even for “not complextro and electro” producers loads of inspirational sounds! good variety of types of presets and the programming quality is fine. can’t go wrong with this one! Rating: 8/10

Aiyn Zahev Sounds – Flight Path LuSH-101
fresh and inspiring soundset, really adds to the existing lush presets, modern and powerful! the sounds can go into productions immediately, they are well programmed and fit into mixes nicely. the variety is great, all in there! Rating: 9/10

Aiyn Zahev Sounds – Tundra Vol.1 DUNE
nice refill for Dune, there’s a lot of nice mellow, smooth and also edgy patches, really helpful for trance productions! a lot of basic sounds, useful collection! Rating: 7/10

CFA-Sound – Massive Complextro Tools
great soundset for massive! the bass sounds are phat and punchy and have great modulations already built-in! also the fx sound section works well for me. the lead sounds could be a bit more edgy and cutting through but all in all a solid package! Rating: 9/10

TOM MIDDLETON

SOR – Minimal Techno Revolution Vol.5
Great selection of useful loops and kick-starters for directions in techno, house and minimal styles. All tempo matched to keep things simple for swap outs and finding compatible companion loops. Solid production! NOTE : (Check the small print as some of it was previously released in another pack). Rating: 8/10

SOR – Transformation
Super useful pack for sound design, games and filmscores plus you can integrate into your music productions with a bit of imagination. High quality sci-fi and futuristic sound design. An essential addition to the sound effects library. Rating: 9/10

SOR – Kick Free Revolution Vol.2
If you’re making House/Tech grooves, then Oliver’s pack of pristine, swinging kick-less starting points and groove enhancers will set you up for months, if not years! Fantastic value as per usual, with nearly 1 and a half Gigs of diverse ‘tops’ across the spectrum from tribal to glitchy/minal electronic styles. Plus 70 solid Kicks to add..never seem to get enough Kicks right(!) All in all, gets a massive ‘LIKE’ from me. Rating: 10/10

DR MOTTE

D16 PunchBox Bassdrum Synthesizer
Throw away all your kick samples now and use PunchBox by d16group instead.

SEAN TYAS

CFA-Sound – Thrillogy-1
I’ve gotten to go through the Thrillogy Bank from CFA and I’m really impressed with these sounds, which straight away are useable and desireable, especially for melodic synth based styles like Progressive and Trance, though I think if I removed the reverb from some of the patches, they would find very comfortable homes amidst Electro & Psy as well.. A very well rounded bank and definitely highly.

LÜTZENKIRCHEN

SOR – Minimal Techno Revolution Vol.1
I think the whole SOR series are a grail of good stuff actually useful to find their way in real records. The amount of useful one shot samples that I got out of this series is massive. And I absolutely love the experimental section.

SIED VAN RIEL

SOR – Electro House Revolution Vol.1
Kick free, Electro House, FX revolution… I use them all as they are quality !! I don’t think I have 1 track produced without them in it somewhere or somehow. Top of the bill stuff for anything you can possibly imagine !!!

DANIEL WANROOY

SOR – Kick Free Revolution Vol.1
SOR – Electro House Revolution Vol.1
Great samples, really different than the other sample packs, I use them in most of my tracks! Definitely recommended…

FIRST STATE

SOR – Minimal Techno Revolution Vol.1
If you then check the SOR samples inspiration will instantly hit you like an avalanche. Unique samples which give the inspiration a producer needs. Putting them in your tracks makes your production instantly sound profi”. We can recommend the SOR series for every starting and advanced.

DJ SHAH

D16 PunchBox Bassdrum Synthesizer
Punchbox is a really cool toolbox to create the perfect bass drums, fast and simple for almost any dance genre. The presets are great starting points and you can shape it fast and easy into any direction, just the way you need it. I also like the way it is structured and if you are not a sound designer you can even learn how to layer a perfect bass drum.

MARTIN BUTTRICH (TIMO MAAS / LOCO DICE)

SOR – Minimal Techno Revolution Vol.1
The sounds of SOR convinced me from the first moment I played them. The purity and complexity of the patches is incredible. You get really inspired when it comes to new melodies. SOR is the all in one solution for modern music production – no matter what style you prefer!

TYLER MICHAUD

SOR – FX Revolution Vol.1
Oliver Schmitt’s Sounds of Revolutions sample packs are absolutely incredible. Fresh out of ideas? Fire up his sample packs and watch the new ideas and inspirations come flowing. Useful for all genre’s of music. I’d put it in the top 5 packs I’ve used to date. Rating: 10/10

SOR – Revolution JP8000/8080 Vol.1
SOR – Revolution JP8000/8080 Vol.2
Being fans of classic Roland Gear (but not the factory sounds) Oliver really blew us away with his AMAZING banks. The JD800 has a new lease of life and is now in constant use. The JP8080 banks are hugely addictive with each patch being really relevant and useful, which is very refreshing considering the saturated market of mediocre soft synth patch banks. Congratulations Resonance sound. we can’t wait to hear more… YOU GUYS ROCK!!

PROK & FITCH

D16 PunchBox Bassdrum Synthesizer
Loving this vsti! There’s so much scope to be experimental and really get your kicks sounding unique. There’s very little need for external processing as everything you have on the front panel sounds ace, especially liking the distortion to give that old school crunch and the option to add a little extra snap to the front of your kick is a cool feature. The built in drum machines to either layer your kick or build a new one are a great touch, so pretty much every base is covered. We’ll be using this a lot!

Audio Boutique – Electric Elements 3.0
Been waiting for this for a while, as always great sample pack, particularly like the Loops, well recorded & will provide us with plenty of inspiration. Bass Loops are also very good and a little different to the norm. Thanks Rating: 9/10

SOR – Hats & Tops Vol.1
We’ll be rinsing these!! Loads of bright groovy shuffles. Plenty of variety and will save loads of time sifting though different hats to find the right balance for the top layer of our tracks. Essential ‘Top’ material for anyone making house music. Rating: 9/10

JOSH GALLAHAN

SOR – Kick Free Revolution Vol.2
In my opinion, KFR2 is the most unique and inspiring loop sample bank since years. It has lots of brilliant filler loops, percussions and extraordinary samples. This guarantees a very fast and creative workflow. And the quality of the sounds is an own state of the art. Can’t wait for Vol. 3! btw: I love apple loops. 5* of 5*

SOR – FX Revolution Vol.1
You can never have enough FX sounds and with FX Revolution Vol. 1, Olliver Schmitt delivers another masterstroke. Fresh and inspiring, neverending.

RALF HINDENBEUTEL

D16 PunchBox Bassdrum Synthesizer
Punchbox sounds really massive and warm, clean or dirty. Has lots of options but is yet very easy to handle. Thumbs up & kudos!

DJ JOOP / LEON BOLIER

SOR – Minimal Techno Revolution Vol.1
We’re using Oliver’s sounds ever since we got the patches. Crystal clear, deep, warm & really well designed, very useful for us! Looking forward to new sounds from this man!

KING BRIAN

Audio Boutique – Techno Elements 2.0
This always shoots me directly into the right sound sphere esthetics and from there it’s just easy to give the track I’m working on my own signature. I am very happy to have discovered this for my sound arsenal! This feels like a secret weapon.

SCOTT YAHNEY

D16 PunchBox Bassdrum Synthesizer
Punchbox is light years ahead of any kickdrum plugin I’ve ever heard. the sound,flexibility & interface are AMAZING !!!! a must have for anyone serious about taking kickdrum sounds to a new level !! Insane!

PAUL MENDEZ

Audio Boutique – Deep House Construction Kits
If you listen to radio a lot then you will have heard this latest style of deep house or tropical house from artists such as lost frequencies & robin schulz that is dominating the airwaves and clubs this summer, a lot of these big tracks use live instruments played in the studio and to be honest a lot of younger producers and bedroom guys cant afford to do this so when a pack like this comes along and offers these live elements then this has got to be a must buy. Rating: 9/10

Resonance Sound – EDM MIDI Weapons 2.0
I admit i have been working a lot with Audio lately and i really needed a kick up the backside to start using my vst’s, this pack is very good as it gives you fresh sounding ideas that sound very much like today’s edm tracks and with it being midi it allows you to basically re-arrange and create your own chord structure which i like doing to try and stay original. Rating: 9/10

CFA-Sound – Massive Complextro Tools WAV Edition
Awesome quality for big room EDM tracks that sound like Hardwell meets Steve aoki in a dark room and the outcome is this pack. you could literally make 5 high calibre tracks and with a bit of intuition and production quality a few top 10 hits. what are you waiting for? Rating 8/10

Audio Boutique – Big Room Elements
Think Will I am versus Bingo players and you will have the perfect pack here in big room elements as all the signature leads and bass lines are present.this pack makes it easy to create a track that if produced to a high standard could well be in the sets of some major djs soon. Rating: 7/10

TEMPO GIUSTO

SOR – Minimal Techno Revolution Vol.1
The sound banks are quite original and different in comparison with other sample providers, offering more depth, uniqueness and possibilities to your compositions. My favourite out of the packages is the Minimal Techno Revolution sound bank, and recommend everyone to check it out!

DAVE WINNEL

Audio Boutique – Techno Elements 2.0
Cool Oldschool vibing techno pack which takes inspiration from early Acid House. Very Very useful for what i’m making right now. I love the Drum fills and the top loops. I’ll be using the hell out of these. The vocal lips are abit crappy, but the vocal loops are cool and will add some nice airy type effects in the background of the track. The FX are dope can be used in many different genre’s. Great stuff Resonance Sound Thumbs up homies! Rating: 8/10

Aiyn Zahev Sounds – Halcyon Vol.2 for Serum
What’s better than Christmas? spending Christmas with new Serum Sounds. I needed some fresh sounds to get some inspiration to make a track and this pack surely did that. Aswell as lots of unique patches they’ve also included the classic sounds you’d need to make prog/trance type record. Love the big saws and the plucks are so lush you can hear the waves breaking from the studio. Will use lots and lots over the next few months. Rating: 10/10

DJ EXACTA

Swen Weber – Electromatic 2
If you are looking for solid electro sounds and drums to go this is pretty good. There also some nice synthy bits included which u can use across many genres. Rating: 7/10

MY DIGITAL ENEMY

Synthwave Reflections
Synthwave Reflections is a top quality sample pack with sixteen high quality synthwave track ideas broken down into their component parts. There is a wealth of samples in here of the highest quality and providing instant inspiration in many cases. This is perfect if you are into song-starter style packs but equally useful to veteran producers with a bit or file reorganisation. Overall a worthwhile addition to your sample library! Rating: 8/10

DOCUMENT ONE

Vintage Movie Vocals Bundle
This pack is what it says on the tin! An awesome array of vintage movie vocals. It’s really extensive and especially good when you put a few samples together to create an orginal phrase or scene. These samples sound really authentic and they’re perfect for placing ahead of a drop! Love it! Expect to use these a lot in future tunes! Rating: 10/10

CHASE BUCH

Audio Boutique – Atmos, Textures & Noise Elements
Incredible selection of Texture and Noise elements, these kind of Organic sounds are extremely useful pretty much for all types of music. I love the fact that you have so many different sounds within each folder, everything grouped nicely and most importantly the quality of the recordings are spectacular! Highly recommended! Rating: 9/10

SOR – Deeper Sylenth1 Sounds
It’s very difficult to find decent Sylenth sounds these days, this pack is definitely a good addition to this powerful synth. I like the deepness and moodiness of the sounds here. Bass sounds are very powerful and my favorite alongside chords. Only down side makes you want more of them… Rating: 8/10

SOR – Hats & Tops Vol.2
Incredible selection of Texture and Noise elements, these kind of Organic sounds are extremely useful pretty much for all types of music.

SOR – Clicks and Glitches Vol.1
It’s not easy to come up with such a decent click and glitch sounds. I’ve been a big fan of the little Clicks folders that comes with the Minimal Techno packs of Resonance Sound but this one offers lot more. I use these sounds at the back of the track to give warmness to a track. Highly recommended. 8/10

SOR – Minimal Techno Revolution Vol.5
Another beautiful release from Resonance Sound. This is probably one of the tidiest packs around. There is pretty much everything about Techno in this pack and they are good! Athmos, Glitch, Clickloops folders are extremely useful and rare. However my favourite bit is the Drum sounds here, expect to find very well recorded drum hits. If you are a Techno head, this package will be a “go to” pack for you. Rating: 8/10

SOR – Clicks & Glitches Vol.4
I’ve been following Resonance Sound since their first Minimal Revolution pack. Quaity of their sounds are incredible and this pack is no different. Totally in love with these glitchy, clicky sounds. I like to chop them and use as hits to create new things. One for the minimal heads! Rating: 8/10

SOR – Minimal Techno Revolution Vol.4
Big Up Oliver for delivering another monster pack. If you are in to Techno this pack is a must have. I don’t know where to start everything about this pack is perfect but my favourite part is the Kick Free drum loops and FX sounds. Vocals are also very interesting and catchy. Wicked pack, highly recommended. Rating: 10/10

SOR – Minimal techno Revolution Vol.3
This is by far the best minimal techno series. I’ve previously downloaded volume 1 and volume 2, finally 3rd one is out and it sounds even better then previous ones. Live Bassloops are absolutely amazing and drum loops also stand out for me. Athmos and FX sounds are also rich and very useful. This pack offers too much and highly recommended for minimal and techno producers… Rating: 10/10

SOR – Minimal techno Revolution Vol.2
I’m not in to Minimal Techno but after listening the audio samples i decided to check this pack out… There are very useful elements for any kind of techno or house producers. I found bass and drum loops very catchy. Recommended… Rating: 9/10

AZS coming through with the goods once again! A solid pack of Trance minded presets for a great VST. it really shows the versatility of Spire. usable for both beginning producers and more advanced ones that want to keep their workflow going with these great starting bases for sounds. Also fun to reverse engineer and learn about other people their design choices when creating sounds! Rating: 9/10

I love to spice my progressive tracks up with a few techno elements, and this package will keep me busy for days! Whether you’re after some full on drum or synth loops, some fx or a one shot kickdrum, this package got you covered! It also contains some tasty 303 loops and perfectly processed vocal FX – an essential pack, if you want to bring your project a bit closer to the dark side! Rating: 9/10

CFA-Sound – Spire Evolution Vol.1
A great pack of sounds for one of the most talked about synths at the moment. Well programmed, great sounding, and suitable for loads of different styles. A great collection of Basses, FX, Leads, Plugs and more – definitely worth the money! Rating: 8/10

Aiyn Zahev Sounds – Altitude Spire
Spire is slowly becoming my “go-to-synth”, and some good presets as a starting point is always appreciated. The AZS Altitude pack is full of well designed, easy tweakable sounds. Good for a lot of different styles, and especially the tranceheads should give this one a go! Rating: 9/10

Some really cool Massive presets, which will fit in to a lot of different styles. Well organized, and clever macro’s. Lots of potential inspiration coming out of browsing through the sounds! Rating: 8/10

A really powerful Massive pack! Great for a wide range of electronic music, but especially the trance-guys are gonna want this one! Great bass, plugs, leads and even some really cool fx sounds – very well programmed, and highly usable! Rating: 9/10

KIHOLM

CFA-Sound – TITAN-1 Xfer Serum Presets
I recently discovered Xfer Serum, and even though I’ve read a few times that the synth is a game changer, I was still a bit sceptical. However, after spending a few minutes with the synth I know it would change my sound forever. Therefore, it is also a real pleasure to gain access to so many strong presets in this Titan-1 preset bank. The presets hardly needs any tweaking and fit many different styles. If you don’t believe me try download the demo package or have a listen to the demo. This package is high quality and will easily inspire you to write phat tracks. Rating: 9/10

Aiyn Zahev Sounds – Halcyon for Serum
The power of Xfer’s Serum is undeniable and just gets even better with strong presets. Halcyon has put a lot of attention to detail with this package and it has certainly paid off – a really great soundset. While the package might be aimed a bit more towards the trancy side of EDM it will fit many other styles as well. Recommendable! Rating: 8/10

LENNY DEE

SOR – Kick Free Revolution Vol.1
This is an older pack, but this sample collection still slams for techno producers looking for loads of great top loops and percussion for music production. The 2nd edition is also a kicker! Rating: 9/10

SOR – Transformation
Resonance Sound delivers a full on Fx pack for loads of applications. The pack is stuffed with loads of unique sound effects, impacts, Atmos and drum shots which are nice and tight. I think the pack can be great for Dnb and Hardcore producers as well as any other style in need of some mechanical mayhem. SOR Transformation offers so many variations and different sounds you can create serious tension in a film, game, or a section in any track or drop. Great pack! Rating: 10/10

Swen Weber – Electromatic 2
if your looks for a super tight techno pack look no further. Swen Weber’s 2nd edition of Electromatic is a banging pack that delivers a great selection of loops to mash into your track with ease. This pack offers up any techno producer the goods they need to get instant results. The first pack was off the hook, This new pack brings even more Techno goodies for your sonic palette. Rating: 9/10

CFA-Sound – Massive Complextro Tools
CFA delivers a high powered pack for NI’s Massive. With lots of packs on the market CFA’s newest pack shines thru in a big way. The sound set is phat and chunky as you would expect a Complextro preset pack for Massive. I love the midi construction kits in this pack. They would be great for anyone starting out or if ure looking for a quick fix of Complextro in a flash. Over all this pack is dope as and should not be over looked esp producers looking to add edgy sounds to there Massive preset collection. Rating: 8/10

SOR – Club Revolution Vol.1
This pack is a good choice if you need to unleash the beast in your next track. Verdict 8/10

TAI JASON

CFA-Sound – Massive Complextro Tools
This package is so much fun to work with right now. The style is so on-point of what is happening in the electronic music at the moment. It has a whole set of really nice growls with the bottom and top end to get that nasty Dubstepy sound of today. Loading these presets into your Massive is pretty easy and the Massive saves the actual preset in the syth which not all do, so you dont have to load the presets in every time you open a new syth. Thanx… Rating: 10/10

PERC

D16 PunchBox Bassdrum Synthesizer
Punchbox provides all the weight, punch and grit I need from a kick. Kicks are the foundation of my music and are often the only bass element in my tracks, therefore it is essential that they are perfect and with Punchbox the layering options and effects make achieving this easier than with any other software percussion solution. Punchbox has a flexibility and sound quality that will ensure it’s my first choice for kicks for a long time.

GOLF CLAP

SOR – FX Revolution Vol.1
Incredibly well put together pack. There are so many sounds in this that you could use only this for all your songs for a very long time. Really impressed with the amount of time and effort put into this one. Rating: 10/10

Diese DVD-Reihe ist wirklich revolutionär – ein absolutes MUST HAVE. Ich war dermaßen begeistert, dass ich mir direkt und ohne zu zögern “KICK FREE Revolution Vol.1″ und “ELECTRO HOUSE Revolution Vol.1″ zugelegt habe.

REZONE

Aiyn Zahev Sounds – Altitude Spire
I’m a big fan of Spire, it’s definitely the best vst synth for last 2 years! Nice patches here, but a bit more presets in vol 2 would be great! Rating: 7/10

MATTHIAS TANZMANN

SOR – Kick Free Revolution Vol.1
SOR delivers nice grooves and interesting sound elements in a very good quality. I already chopped me some slices for my productions.

THE THRILLSEEKERS

Aiyn Zahev Sounds – Transitions Vol.1 DIVA
Just have to say a massive thanks to AiynZahevSounds for the excellent Diva ‘Transitions’ bank. 3 patches and counting in my current tune.

Sylenth1 Electro House Vol.1
CFA-Sound – Thrillogy-1
Loving your banks for the Virus TI and Sylenth. Wow! Already using some of your patches in some upcoming productions. Always great to have new and inspiring sounds that stand out. I’ll definitely be keeping a close eye on you in the future.

SOR – Revolution Virus C/TI Vol.2
These sound banks have given me bags of inspiration, so huge thanks for your incredible work on these. Without doubt some of the best and most detailed patches I’ve heard from my Virus and JP. Even Vanguard sounds amazing with your banks loaded up. In fact, I’m using two of your patches on a track right now. Highly recommended

KEITH SHOCKLEE

SOR – Minimal Techno Revolution Vol.4
SOR Minimal Techno Revolution Vol. 4 by Resonance Sound is the material dance floor hits are made of. Every kick, snare, hi hat, synth chord and bass riff is packed with a promise to thread your production with bombastic thump. Music producers… YOU NEED THIS SOUND PACK IN YOUR WEAPONS BOX! This will make you legend, like me. Enjoy! Rating: 10/10

Resonance Sound – Vintage Movie Vocals 3
What a splendid idea! Juxtaposing movie quotes to EDM beats to add intrigue. This is great mix for those with a more film or literary bent, and film vocals are perfect for introductions or interludes to songs. The quotes are delivered expressively and are mixed well to have that vintage feel. The only catch is that the subject matter could be a little more varied; many of the quotes reference music in some way. Rating: 8/10

SOR – Transformation
SOR Transformation is the ultimate sound pack for the super future producer. Mainstream guys, this is not for you. Robot sounds, computer squeaks and grinding metals. Not your average sound choice in todays music. But as they say.. It’s not what you use, it’s how you use it. Composers will love the frequencies in this bundle. Rating: 10/10

Resonance Sound – EDM MIDI Weapons 3.0
“EDM MIDI Weapons 3.0″ by Resonance Sound offers MIDI melodies (without the synth patches). The melodies are very fitting for EDM music and provide ample room for experimentation within different software and hardware synths. Additionally, this collection offers room to vary some of the notes within your compositions to suit the exact sound you are seeking. Rating: 8/10

Resonance Sound – Vintage Movie Vocals 2
Vintage Movie Vocals 2 by Resonance Sound brings you the madness to your method. Dj’s and producers will know exactly what to do with this pack. So have fun and create great skits! Rating: 10/10

SOR – Abstract and Weird Vol.1
SOR Abstract & Weird Vol 1 by Resonance Sound gives you that other world sound. Most us a producer take our time to search the land for the different sounds. Well search no more! This is the sound pack you need to be weird. Enough said… Enjoy! Rating: 10/10

A*S*Y*S

CFA-Sound – Synergy Vol.1 Sylenth1
Amongst a lot of different soundbanks I truely prefer the “Synergy Vol. 1 Soundset”. Not only that you can choose from a broad range of styles – the sounds use the whole power the Sylenth 1 is able to supply. Stabs & basslines are punchy and crisp, pads are smooth and spread a nice, warm and mystic atmosphere.

YVES EAUX

SOR – Hats & Tops Vol.1
If you like it driving this pack works for you. All loops are tight, crispy and burst of energy. Perfect addition to your tracks. Rating: 8/10

THOMAS DETERT / AIRBASE RECORDINGS

SOR – Dynamic Particles
SOR – Drum Revolution
SOR – Minimal Techno Revolution Bundle
SOR – Hats & Tops Vol.4
SOR – Clicks & Glitches Vol.4
Sounds of Revolution Samples are always my first choice. The production quality is top-notch and speaking from my taste, they are not too over-processed. They sit perfectly in any mix right from the get-go, are very inspiring and a must-have for any producer in this genre.

KUFFDAM

SOR – Minimal Techno Revolution Vol.1
Sounds Of Revolution has the sounds for trance music that really suits my Kuffdam style. Great work on the high quality samples and I’ll be using these on forthcoming products.

TORSTEN STRENZEL

D16 PunchBox Bassdrum Synthesizer
I am sure the Punchbox will be a new standard when it comes to create your own kick, i like its versatility and the key track kicks sound excellent and very powerful!

SOR – Revolution JD800/990 Vol.3
My first contact with SOR was through their famous JD800 trilogy with its unbelievable atmospheres and complex modulation pads.Today I use most of their sets in my productions. Sound programming could not be better – awesome!

IAN GREEN

SOR – Revolution JP8000/8080 Vol.2
I need top sounds for my projects and Ollie´s soundsets deliver just that. I love the JP8000 sets as they have a fat rich darkness to the tones which most plug ins can´t deliver. I also love the ES2 set for Logic Audio. All very useable and bang on the pulse for the sound of tomorrow! I need all the best sounds I can get my hands on. Loving the SOR sounds!

JOHN 00 FLEMMING

SOR – Prime Kicks Vol.1
Always remember to edit and experiment to add you personal mark to these, its fun! Rating: 10/10

P0GMAN

Vintage Movie Vocals Bundle
Perfect for setting the tone in the intro of a track with many of the samples being just what you would need to that suspenseful gap before a big drop. I would 100% recommend this be added to your sample collection. Rating: 10/10

DOMINIK DE LEON

CFA-Sound – CableDance
CFA-Sound – CableForce
CFA-Sound – CableSphere
I was just amazed as i heard the demo of the first sound set for the ACE, “Cable Dance”. I got this synth brandnew so this soundset showed me how powerful this crazy thing can be. Never faced so many useful sounds in one set before. Meanwhile I own all the Soundset, “CableDance”, “CableForce” and “CableSphere” and I use them almost daily in my prodcutions. You don’t need anything else to create a cool club track!

BASSBIN TWINS

SOR – Abstract and Weird Vol.2
A meld of foley, texture, and rhythm blended into 200 concise loops which inspire endlessly and often pull in a bouncy hypnotic direction. Pure quality and inventiveness throughout. As someone obsessed with the mechanics of beats and always seeking new ways of building non-melodic rhythm this pack is pure joy. 10/10

SOR – Abstract and Weird Vol.1
Another killer pack of small but powerful treats. Blurring the lines between rhythm, melody, and fx this petite collection covers so much building block ground. If you’re willing to do some chopping these loops can be mined for golden one-shots too. In terms of rhythmic enhancement, it doesn’t get better than this and several of these files can be mixed front and center as features. 10/10

SOR – Kick Free Revolution Vol.2
Timeless sound design in the form of umpteen bite-sized loops. This is the secret weapon stuff that could rightly be called ‘never make a generic beat again’ formula. This pack covers so much rhythmic ground and every subfolder nails its intended category from clicky tech to loose to rough to tribal etc it seems to never end. The inclusion of Apple and REX Loops takes easy care of extending genre use beyond the base BPM and into the unknown. If you’re building rhythms and need the mojo that instantly embeds extra levels of character you have fully arrived with this collection.10/10

Resonance Sound – Techno Maschinen
Decidedly electronic and often artificial in the best possible way. If you’re like me and love your non-organic drum hits this pack is a true indulgence: multi-treated samples of both familiar and rare drum boxes (the ‘D1k’ files are a special thing for those who know). Much of the additional processing maximizes the unique character of each voice and in the more extreme cases introduces artifacts that reveal a whole new musicality which really starts to shine once these files are in play. Rating: 9/10

SOR – FX Revolution Vol.1
Tremendous amount of FX organized by quickly accessible sub-categories to keep workflow fast. This is a pack that goes the extra mile in so many ways and the inclusion of Apple Loops makes an already useful pack rhythmically employable in any project instantly. Audio fidelity is expert level and these sounds feel prepped for user productions as opposed to being over-hyped in their naked state. The FX Loops are gold and the ‘LFO Madness’ is exactly that (and the list goes on). A strong candidate for One FX Pack To Rule Them All. Rating: 10/10

Audio Boutique – Electric Elements 3.0
A theme of this pack is micro elements which I’m a huge fan of and not a lot of collections zero in on this aesthetic the way that Resonance Sound does. All the looped files have funk and movement without a trace of aggression. The one shots folder is like an extended drum kit strictly of the synthetic minimal variety and is in short Golden. The atmospherics might be my favorite of the bunch and though there’s not a ton of them they’re perfectly curated. Fantastic stuff. Rating: 10/10

Audio Boutique – Atmos Textures & Noise Elements
An ambitious collection which succeeds on every level: quality, variety and the ability to enrich every single project regardless of nature / style / genre. A couple highlights among many are the obscuring of detectable language with the human vocal samples and the ‘Static Atmos’ folders both tonal (key-labeled) and non-tonal. Every subfolder is rewarding and as a whole this is a truly impressive pack. Rating: 10/10

SOR – Minimal Techno Revolution Vol.4
A treasure chest of expert audio minimalism. Clicks, bumps, effects and loops all incredibly versatile and useful. Amazing collection from beginning to end of non-agressive elements that feel alive with the warmth and punch dialed in just right. ‘Minimal Techno Revolution 4’ is so good that if you’re like me you’ll feel lucky that you found it and wish that more sample collections were on this level of quality. Rating: 9/10

SOR – Transformation
Holy mechanical nuance: from delicate twitching to vault-slam heavy this is thrilling stuff for anyone who’s building a sound library that’s off the beaten path. The recording quality is supreme and the selection is outstanding. Often surprisingly rhythmical and suggestively melodic – pure inspiration that’s strong on every level. For mechanical-based sample collections this is the “desert island one” for me. Rating: 10/10

CUTLINE

Resonance Sound – Vintage Movie Vocals 3
There are some solid vocal phrases in this pack. Great for adding some colour to your production. Great work Resonance Sound. Rating: 7/10

Resonance Sound – Deep House MIDI Weapons 1.0
Some useful MIDI patterns in this pack. Most are pretty versatile and would suit any genre. Great work from Resonance sound on this one! Rating: 9/10

Aiyn Zahev Sounds – Dystopia Vol.1 for Razor
Wow, this is an incredible selection of presets for NI’s Razor. AZS Dystopia Razor is stuffed to the gills with stunning atmospheric sounds, warm and luscious pads, leads and basses. These could work wonders for progressive, electro and main room house tracks as well as more leftfield or downtempo numbers. Great textures and some really beautiful sounds. Rating: 10/10

Resonance Sound – Vintage Movie Vocals 1
As the vintage Ronseal advert says “it does what it says on the tin.” Here Resonance Sound give you a chunky pack filled with vintage movie samples that instantly conjour up the golden era of the big screen and will add some instant old skool sampler style sheen to your tunes. We’ve already found a space for one of these sample in a track and there’s loads of usable bits in here for all kinds of genres. Great stuff! Rating: 10/10

AXEL KARAKASIS

Audio Boutique – Techno Elements 1.0
Techno Elements 1.0 is a brilliant kit with a good size library of samples ranging from synths to bass and drums. On top, the vocal presets are really great, as are the construciton kits.
Undoubtedly, the 303 is timeless as well as priceless and it’s there to inspire and give another dimension to some wicked techno tracks. Recommended for the techno die hards! Rating: 9/10

Resonance Sound – Vintage Movie Vocals 1
Vintage Movie Vocals is a nice pack of phrases and catchy sounds to add extra edginess and a twist to any electronic music production. A touch of cinematic wittiness that can give bonus points and transform tracks with finer details. Rating: 8/10

SERGIO FLORES

SOR – Hats & Tops Vol.1
This does just what it says on the label: it is a really useful collection of top-loops. I would mostly recomend this to pumpin’ Tech House producers on the lookout for nicely swingin’ and jackin’ loops, as an addition to their beats. The sound quality is good, with a lot of brightness… Recomended! Rating: 8/10

TRAFIK

Tropical House for Serum
Brilliant set of Tropical synth sounds. Straight ‘out of the box’ sounds, that perfectly utilise the immense power of Serum. Whether you’re looking for bendy panpipes or punchy bass pulses this will be exactly what you’re after. Rating: 9/10

NAIBU

SOR – Transformation
Very impressive sound design. All these effects are beautifully crafted and it really feels like cheating. Very suitable for all kinds of heavy dance music and commercial sound design, and a good source of raw sounds to manipulate further into your own designs. Highly recommended if you’re making trailer music. Top quality. Rating: 9/10

DENNIS BOHN (BROOKLYN BOUNCE)

SOR – Minimal Techno Revolution Vol.1
When I first tried the sounds of SOR I was very impressed. The superb quality of the patches makes my production life much easier. The patches are ready to use – only very little additional processing is necessary. The best thing of SOR: Their sound design is really different!

Another fine sample pack!…..Great selection of loops and hits here..guaranteed to work with many ganres! Rating: 8/10

DAVIDE CARBONE

Synthwave Reflections
Well if you are looking for old school Synthwave samples and loops then this is the right pack for you. Particularly if your intention is to write something that requires the sounds, leads and melodies of that style. This pack has about 20 tunes broken down into its constituent parts. Each track has a complete stem, and the usual arp, bass, drums, pads and variation on those. Incredibly useful are the midi files also included so taking inspiration and using your own instruments or variations on the melodies is a breeze. I just love how authentic it all feels. Sure it’s a little more 80’s than modern synthwave but that is pretty much the same thing! The melodies and leads are very strong and this is where this pack excels – in its direction and vibes. I’ve drawn much for it and if you are looking for this kind of thing then you will too. Thanks guys, feels like you had lots of fun making it. 9/10

SOR – Transformation
A nice selection of sound effects. I enjoyed some of the more resonant granular tones like the cyborg effects and hydraulic movements. There’s a a lot of variety here which gives the pack some longevity. Naturally you could use some of the sounds for sound design projects and within your own tracks. Some of the atoms effects are quite other worldy which makes this pack good value. Rating: 7/10

Swen Weber – Electromatic
Yeah a really strong pack made by a producer that cares about his work. Really well thought out sound design giving you a great bunch of sounds and inspiration to draw from. I particularly like the modern use of effects and production to give this pack a current sound. highly recommended. Rating: 9/10

TEEBEEE

SOR – Minimal Techno Revolution Vol.4
Once in a while,the sheer content of a sample pack is so immense that you could make a whole album of it.If you are lazy ! This is one of those.At first glance,I was intimidated as to how much stuff there was to go through.For me,this is the most complete,abstract,alien sounding sample pack I’ve found in a vert long time.The quality shines through in every section and whoever did this,put a good dose of love into it . Highly recommended. Rating: 8/10

Audio Boutique – Techno Elements 1.0
This is alright. Some good grooves here,and if you’re after the authentic 303 sound there is plenty of good loops to chose from. Some fantastic fx and great bass loops adds to a great package full of ready-to-go beats. I recommend. Rating: 7/10

SAM LAXTON

SOR – Shhh – I Am Speaking
Great variety of words and nicely delivered across different expressions. Samples require minimal processing to sit in tracks which is ideal when getting ideas down in a hurry. Already used in my own productions to bring more life to them. Rating: 8/10

SOR – Club Revolution Vol.1
Exactly what I’m looking for in sample packs. Club Revolution Vol. 1 has variety and also a quirky nature. I’ve already started using this pack in my tracks to capture the feeling often present in classic Trance. The breakbeats are really punchy and great to add to tracks in build ups to create more energy. All in all, great! Rating: 8/10

MUMDANCE

SOR – Transformation
Loved this pack, granular nastiness, aggressive hits & and an overall futuristic feel to the whole pack. Useful for layering up for sound design purposes & also using straight out the box. I found the hydraulic movements particularly useful. Rating: 10/10

MEAT KATIE

Swen Weber – Electro District Vol.2
Another cracking pack from Swen. Big brash bold electro bass lines & lead lines that will no doubt be featured in any self respecting Electro producers tracks for the next 6 months. Quality is stamped all over this pack!

JAY-J

Resonance Sound – Vintage Movie Vocals Bundle
You can’t go wrong with this bundle! These are the perfect things for vibe and texture.. And if you’re a turntabelist, then it’s a must have! I’ll be using these quite a bit for my downtempo releases on my new label Downshift. Rating: 8/10

RILEY & DURRANT

Swen Weber – Bass Infarct
A decent pack with a good cross-genre selection of rex loops to use in your tracks. A lot of the stuff in here is a bit different and more interesting than the usual, so it’s worth grabbing especially if you use a lot of REX2 loop within your productions. Rating: 7/10

AIRBASE

CFA-Sound – Futured E-1 Beats & Bytes
CFA-Sound – Futured E-2 Expander
CFA-Sound – Futured E-3 Hardsync
CFA-Sound – Synergy Vol.1 Sylenth1
CFA-Sound – Synergy Vol.2 Sylenth1
I’ve tried out the soundsets extensively right now and I must say I’m very impressed. They suit the sound of today’s dance music very well and even opens up for creative work to sculpture the sound of the dance music to come. Diverse and well made patches that should be a part of every dance music producer out there. I’m especially impressed with the bass patches.

JAMES HARCOURT

SOR – Hats & Tops Vol.1
An interesting pack that provides nothing but hi hat and top end lines – no kicks or bass lines here, as the title would suggest. You can get a quick hi hat fix here if the placement of one-shots is too arduous! Useful for those who enjoy working with loops … Rating: 7/10

TOM COLONTONIO

CFA-Sound – Prototype ES2
CFA-Sound – Synergy Vol.1 Sylenth1
CFA-Sound – Synergy Vol.2 Sylenth1
These are some of the best soundsets around. From soaring pads to lush leads they never dissapoint. I’ve tried out many of these in the past but few come close to the quality and power of this series. They will be a staple in my production for years to come!

ATJAZZ

SOR – Abstract & Weird Vol.2
The stranger the better, no boundaries sample pack and no specific genre. This pack allows the user to go wild and re-sample. I personally really enjoy using this as part of my bank of sounds. Very interesting & very usable. Wonky, wobbly & wonderful. Rating: 8/10

COLD RUSH

Aiyn Zahev Sounds – Colours Vol.2
You really don’t have to look further than Aiyn Zahev. His wide variety of sounds are essential to every trance producer and present in our productions as well! Rating: 10/10

JACO

Aiyn Zahev Sounds – Colours Vol.2
This is really great stuff, Have tested them now, love it! Going to use them for my next upcoming track on Enhanced Music.

CELT ISLAM

Swen Weber – Pure Electro Vol.2
Swen Weber – Pure Electro Vol. 2 by Resonance Sound Fine Electro at its best! this is a breath of fresh air for electro dance music production! what also strikes me as an artist and producer is that although this is an electro package it is very diverse and found myself playing with the sounds in my Transnational Dubstep and Drum and Bass tracks and it sits well like a perfect glove. This neat mega package comes with some awesome drum and Synth sounds and the basses are a treat. 10 out of 10! without a doubt! and i strongly recomend this to all fine electronica artists. Rating: 10/10
