Kulshan Studios Besna House Soundset for Access Virus C & Virus B Series & Osirus95 groovy House presets, compatible with the legendary Access Virus C and Virus B series of hardware synths. This soundbank is 100% House-oriented, which means no weird brass, pianos, or FX. The patches in Besna come straight out of songs written using the Virus (and many more). So this soundset is designed to exploit the C's unison, spectral waves, and multitimbral virtual analog sound engine to their fullest potential. Patches in Besna are based on sounds from songs by the likes of John Summit, Deadmau5, Astrality, Tiesto, FISHER, Kygo, INNERVERSE, Robin Schulz, Westend, Alesso, Benassi Bros, Julien Fade, Tony Igy, Hardwell, 5HOURS, ZHU, Hayley May, Martin Garrix, Porter Robinson, Jack Villa, Morgan Page, Mord Fustang, and many many more. And to cap off the bank some patches were set to Initial, so you have room to write and store your own patches without overwriting any existing sounds. No 3rd party FX were used in these sounds. Sounds in this preset pack are suitable for the Progressive House, Deep House, Tech House, Bigroom House, Slap House, Afro House, Tropical House, and Electro House genres, and are organized by category into Leads, Plucks, Pads, and Basses, for quick reference. All patches are royalty-free and delivered instantly via email as a 24-hour download link. Requirements: Access Virus TI, TI2, Snow, or Polar synthesizer. Also compatible with Adam Szabo Viper VSTi* and the The Usual Suspects Osirus. *there will be some differences in some sounds due to differences in the architecture and features between the TI2 and Viper.
