BASSMAYHEM Vol.1 for Digitakt II

Introducing BASSMAYHEM Vol.1, the ultimate preset pack for Digitakt II, brimming with subsonic filth!

What sets this pack apart? It's all about the "special sauce" – Chromatic Sample Chains!

But what exactly are they?

Typically, when you load a one-shot sample into a slot and play different notes, you get pitched-up or -down versions of the same sample. However, with Chromatic Sample Chains (via a Grid Machine), each note triggers the sample that corresponds to it without altering its pitch. This means you preserve all the original characteristics of the recorded instrument – from hiss to filth to the nuances of the amp and cabinet it was captured from!

And don't worry, if you're running low on RAM, I've included one-shot versions for you to use with the "old-school" method anyway!

As a bonus, I've included an 8-note sample chain featuring a single C from each of the 8 base sources I used to create the various sounds in this preset pack. You can select any "sound" you want by simply parameter-locking that slice. Plus, this allows you to assign "random sounds" to every step in your sequence with the "Create Random Locks" feature of the Grid Machine!

The preset pack also includes a variety of "Sound Presets" ready for direct use in your project. Use them as they are, or take them as your starting point and push them to the limit. After all, we know that seasoned Digitakt users are all about the "source material," as half the fun lies in shaping your own sound. And with the plethora of new tools in Digitakt II – What better time for sample mangling?

Oh, I forgot to mention one crucial thing. All source samples come with 3 different flavors: Vanilla (clean), Amped (subtly driven with cab sim), and Destroyed (needs no explanation I guess), so you can precisely decide how many pinches of filth you'll add to your recipe!
