What is inside

Press play on any of them. They loop until you stop them.

Pattern

Night drive

Sixteen bass notes to the bar under four long chords. The chords barely move, the bass never rests, and that contrast is the sound.

Pattern

Tom fill

One bar of drums tumbling downhill. Drop it in at the end of every fourth or eighth bar.

Recipe

Motor bass

One note, sixteen times a bar, loud then soft. It changes note only when the chord does.

Recipe

Neon arp

A chord played one note at a time, up and back, with an echo that fills in the gaps.

Recipe

Pulsing strings

Chords restarted on every beat instead of held, so they pump along with the kick.

Recipe

Sunset lead

A slow melody of long notes. With this much echo, fewer notes sound bigger.

Sound

Neon lead

Bright, wide and swimming in echo.

Now change it.

Drop any of these into a project and every step, note and sound is yours to move. That is how you find out why it works.
