Why DARKSIDn h + ~E FUNK
Dar/ b c ] Skside Fu: i C V \ 9 E T Ynk is the culmination of 2 yx @ I _ o T &ears of work by our sound design team. No, that’s not a typo. We’ve been keeping it tightly under wraps, testing, refining and perfecting it. Although we could have launched it a lot sooner, Darkside Funk took 2 years because of how crazy HIGH we set the bar.
On average, ei # g E U U _ Each preset took 2 full hours to make. For every 5 preseP P v I Ets we madG t i v } S g A ue, we only took the absolute best, sidelining the other 4: H y X S. This means every sound in Darkside Funk was the result of 10 hours of work by professional sound designers. Some people might think that’s ridiculous, but when it cY ~ o K }omes to the quality of your music, there’s no rp T 5 poo. = \ { $m for anything short of SPECTACULAR. Each sound needed to have something completely NEXT-LEVEL about it to make the cut.
The presets are crazy RESPONSIVE, which took hours of extra work. All the macros, the mod wheel, and many other modulators are used to make these presets HYPy ! e 7 g }ER-expressive.
We’re not going to BS you andg , 5 O F U \ say this soundbank can be used for “Any genre”. Darkside F: ! +unk is for bass music. Tearout, dancefloor, peak-time BASS MUSIC.

You can’t make something truly exceptional if you try. I f 1 o ( F & ! to be all things to all people. We opted to takeU n P k U ] U a different path: Specialize, focus our efforts, and make somethio J A –ng absolutely BREATHTAKING. When your mission is mastery, yH V | d V i =ou need to exclude things so you can concentrg B { v i 5 y 6ate on the core.
We drew inspiration from some of our f– G h [ R = !
