It’s been an odd year.
I run a chilli sauce company for a living as well as the music stuff. With all the waves of lockdowns and various issues with imports etc… it’s been really tough to actually work this year. As a side effect of that, I’ve probably had the most productive year musically that I’ve had in maybe the last 15 years!
It’s how come I actually had time to sit down and learn a new synth and pull some presets together. Quite a few of these would never fit into the type of music I make but equally, it’s good to understand how those sound are made… so I figured someone somewhere would get some use out of them, so you’re very welcome.
@Carlos - I do quite a lot of deep and meditative stuff, whilst still being pretty sturdy for the dancefloor. I’ve been DJing since 1996 and so a lot of the music I make is focussed at the dance floor.
But I still love the deepness and atmospheric side of electronic music. The new label I started with a friend this year was kind of by mistake really, we have very similar ethos with our music and I asked him to remix something of mine and it turned into a whole project. But it’s all very chord heavy, deep and atmospheric.

Well, i lost my job and although it wasn´t related to my University Degree (Marketing and Communication) now i am quite a lost. But music has been pretty much like a lifeguard at this time. I´ve made music for the last 20 years but for a hobby anymore. I´ve Djing but not so long. And during this year i have made plenty of sounds, for Hive, Repro, Zebra, Diva, Thorn, ABL Pro, Gladiator 3, Rayblaster, Odin 2…, and that days, for Vital. I am pure dancefloor too, but i can make any kind of sound. Usually i make my sound design for industrial and techno, but other times i feel comfortable about Physical Modelling, or creating evolving pads or atmospheres, etc. Summarizing, a bit of everything. And there are people here that make so good sound design as well.

Thanks Ben!
Merry Christmas!
Nice. I’ll grab it and give it a listen.
And of course I wouldn’t mind! Presets are just starting points really, I don’t think I ever use a preset without tweaking it a bit.

How do I install this please?
On the top menu, just after the save preset icon is another icon with 3 horizontal lines.
Click on that and select import bank.
Hey Ben,
as you are a DJ, make Music and run Labels i want to ask you something,
What can someone do to make it easyer for the DJ when creating a song?
So for example many songs have something like a build up before the drums start, and then before the drums start some sounds that kind of anounce when the drums are starting. Or maybe some sonds in the build up to synchronize the records? (Only did some danchall reggea mixtapes, back then when we had to use tape decks and stuff. But there is no real mixing involved) Is this done with intention or just a side effect?
Are there other things like this one can do?
Really like your presets! They contain so much sounds from the last 30 years of music, thanks again for posting them!
Will try to post something here that i do with em, but i have to work a little more on that first.
Amazing sounds especially loved your Cascades, Lush 7th Pad, Sequenced Pads and Sparkling Pads. Great Set! Thanks.
