Monster Sounds’ latest creation is rooted firmly at the deeper end of the Drum and Bass spectrum. Liquid Rollers Drum and Bass is themed for producers looking to add something exceptional to their sample collection.

The ample 963 MB of content is made up of the crucial elements needed for building tracks traversing the more musical, soulful and liquid side of this now timeless genre. The large and inclusive set of flawlessly precise beats and percussion all roll like clockwork. Split up as separate kick and snare, tops and then full loops all production eventualities are covered.

A comprehensive set of audio files makes up the luscious and rich musical elements of the pack. A plethora of differing sounds including mysterious pianos, fat jazzy keys, rising arpeggios, shimmering pads and snappy synths all combine to give a range of differing textures and moods to work from whether it’s smoky jazz or punchy, uplifting and melodic dance floor bangers. Also, included are a handful of chopped vocal manipulations to add extra depth and flavour.

No D&B pack would be correct without a wide-ranging set of the genre’s most important element... the fat bass line.  Included in the loops are sounds ranging from deep and deadly subs, tough metallic basses, gritty synth, basses booming 808s and many more.

Special mention must be made to the FX section which includes an evolving, progressing set of singe note “atmospheres” for setting a tone and mood. Plus, a set of mixed FX one shots coving many facets, including hits, vocal FX, builds and falls as you would expect. Add to that the always necessary and useful drum, bass and synth one shot hits and you have the complete liquid drum and bass package!

In detail, expect to find 963 MB of content, with all audio recorded at 24Bit & 44.1 kHz. All loops are broken down as 55 full drum loops, 50 bass loops, 23 kick snare loops, 23 top drum loops, 19 synth loops, 13 arp loops, 13 chord loops, 10 piano loops, 8 pad loops, 2 vocal loops and 1 string loop. One-shots are divided up between 63 drum hits, 14 FX, 11 bass hits, 10 atmospheres, 9 synth hits and 7 vocal shots. Also included are 241 Rex2 files and 47 soft sampler patches (NNXT, Halion, Kontakt, EXS24 and Sfz).
