Arturia JUP-8000 V – Trance Gates Soundbank/Presets 👉🏻 https://allanmorrowstudios.com/trance-music/arturia-jup-8000-v-trance-gates-soundbank-presets/ This bank is dedicated purely to Trance Gates. It’s built around those hypnotic gated sounds that add movement, rhythm and atmosphere to a track. The kind of sounds that can drive a section on their own, sit behind a lead, or add texture to a breakdown. Inside you’ll find 30 gated presets designed specifically for the Arturia JUP-8000 V. Lush gated pads, more rhythmic pulsing gates, deeper atmospheric layers and a few with a bit more character and movement. Some sit nicely in the background. Others can easily work as the main focus in a section. They’re flexible sounds that can be used in multiple ways across a track. As a lead, as a pad, as a rhythmic layer or as a background texture. All of them are designed to work inside a real track! If you’re working on a track and it needs more movement, atmosphere or rhythmic energy, this is exactly what this bank is for. Be sure to check out the other Arturia JUP-8000 V soundbanks available.

I have re-recorded my set from Sam Mitcham's 4OUR show this weekend. Big thanks to Sam for inviting me, and thanks to everyone who came and stayed until the end! Enjoy!

Sunset put this together with one goal in mind: recreate the tones we all fell in love with back when supersaws were huge, leads were emotional but raw, and even a simple pluck could spark an entire melody.

All wrapped into one bank, ready to drop straight into your projects. You’ll get 65 presets, covering the full palette of classic Trance and Dance styles: Classic Trance Euro Trance Epic Dance Hard Trance Vintage Rave Preset breakdown PL – Plucks 20 LD – Leads 20 SY – Synths and Keys 8 AC – Acid / TB-Style 5 BS – Basslines 7 PD – Pads and Atmospheres 5 If you’ve wanted that classic hardware flavour inside Serum 2 without needing an actual rack of synths… Sunset has nailed it with this one.
