Sampler Signatures - Swerve

Metrist's contribution to the Sampler Signatures series pushes Bitwig's updated Sampler into experimental zones, capturing the "brokenness and unpredictability" of the producer’s bass music style. Swerve is a striking collection of drum kits, breaks, bass, and ear candy, made for people who want their sounds to surprise them. It's also an exploration of the frontiers of sound design, using Sampler's new play modes and Bitwig's modulators to transform familiar elements in playful ways. Big-room synths, scattergun beats, and growling Reeses twist inside out at the touch of a remote control. Contact-mic hits from Metrist’s live rig turn up as percussion, run through the same chain he uses on stage. And if your project’s feeling bare, the Microsound Lucky Dip is here to help.
