ROYALTY-FREE HALFSTEP DNB SAMPLES FOR DEEP, HEAVY PRODUCTION
Halfstep Drum & Bass combines the tempo and low-end weight of DNB with slower-feeling, spacious drum patterns. These royalty-free Halfstep sample packs give you deep bass, hard-hitting drums, dark atmospheres, synths, vocals and FX for building heavyweight tracks with more space between each rhythmic element.
Use complete loops to develop an idea quickly or work with individual one-shots and melodic elements to create your own patterns. The sounds can be layered, resampled, distorted and processed to fit darker, cinematic or more experimental styles of Drum & Bass.
WHAT YOU’LL FIND IN OUR HALFSTEP SAMPLE PACKS
Explore spacious drum loops, broken rhythms, sub bass, distorted bass sounds, percussion, synths, atmospheric textures, vocals and transition FX. Selected products also include MIDI files, stems or construction kits for more control over arrangement and sound design.
The WAV files work in Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Bitwig Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper and other DAWs that support standard audio files.
HALFSTEP VS HALFTIME
Halfstep and Halftime can share slow-feeling drums, deep bass and spacious arrangements, but Halfstep is more closely connected to Drum & Bass tempo and rhythmic structure. Halftime is a broader category that can also include Future Beats, experimental bass and slower leftfield styles.
For a wider selection of slower bass music, explore our Halftime sample packs. For rolling drums, Jungle, Liquid, Minimal, Neurofunk and Jump Up, browse the complete Drum & Bass sample pack collection.
