This psytrance/Goa/psychill construction kit contains no loops - only keygroups and drum racks full of instruments and one-shots. Original material, samples straight from classic psy-synths, the SH-101, Access Virus TI2 and the original Camel Audio Alchemy.

Great question. No sampling of any phrases was included, instead opting for one-shots/synth notes/drum hits/elements. The pumping of the bassline and the ducking of the reverb tails was purely done with Force effects. I routed all bass/subs to Submix 1, all mid/hi synths to Submix 2, all hats and snares to Submix 3, glitched vocal to Submix 4 and risers/downers/FX to Submix 5. The kicks were not sent to a submix, and the Mother Ducker Input was placed on the Kick channel. The Mother Ducker effect was then placed on every submix, and also on the return Reverb channel. I will do a little more explanation in a later video, as soon as the expansion is ready for delivery.

Thank you for watching!
