Sounds Of Kshmr Vol. 3 -

The new “Songstarter” kits (10 full construction kits with stems, MIDI, and presets) are worth discussing separately. On one hand, they are staggeringly well-produced. Kit #4, “Ghost Colony,” is a masterclass in tension—starting with a solo cello loop, building into a psytrance bassline, and exploding into a big room drop. For producers experiencing creative block, these are instant fuel. On the other hand, the risk is obvious: because KSHMR’s sound is so distinctive, using these loops verbatim will make you sound like a carbon copy. The wise producer will deconstruct these kits, reverse the reverb tails, pitch the brass down an octave, and use the arrangement as a template rather than a final product.

The MIDI files included are also a masterclass in chord voicing; studying KSHMR’s progressions (heavy on the vi-IV-I-V with suspended ninths) is worth the price of admission alone.
