Equinox - Psytrance

For the modern Psytrance producer, the quest for the perfect sound is complex. The genre, more than almost any other, is defined by its sonic precision, a specific, driving energy that must be faultlessly engineered. It’s a world where standard samples, loops and stems can break the magical Psy spell. This is what we at Zenhiser have intentionally tackled with a new, definitive release, Equinox.

This is not merely a sample pack, it's a colossal 5.9GB sound library designed to be a complete ecosystem for Psytrance music producers. Clocking in at a festival ready 142bpm, Equinox is an exhaustive toolkit that understands the genre’s DNA, starting with its very core, the rhythm.

The foundation of any powerful Psychedelic Trance track is the inseparable lock between the kick and the bass. Equinox provides an authoritative collection of basslines, each pulsing with the requisite drive and character. This is supported by 75 intricate, full drum loops and a vast armoury of drum one shots. From 25 meticulously processed kicks and 15 tight claps to a full suite of hi hats and percussion, the rhythmic groundwork is impeccably laid, and ready to be utilised in a multitude of forms. 

But where Equinox truly reveals its depth is in the melodic and atmospheric layers. The collection of synth loops is a masterclass in psychedelic sound design, featuring everything from perfect leads and complex sequences to hypnotic plucks and classic FM textures. This is bolstered by one of the most comprehensive FX sections to date. Beyond the essential uplifters, downlifters, and impacts, the pack delivers over 50 unique FX hooks and 25 dynamic fills, which should be at the forefront of any astute producers criteria. These are the crucial sonic events that manage tension and guide the listener’s journey, all provided as royalty free samples ready to be dropped into any DAW.

Perhaps the most significant feature for producers is the inclusion of five complete song Stems. 'Fractal,' 'Poison,' 'Lotus,' 'Chakra,' and 'Portal,' are far more than simple construction kits. They are a  masterclass in top end arrangement, allowing producers to deconstruct, analyse, learn and use from a finished track's multi-layered structure.

Let’s not forget about the accompanying MIDI. By providing the MIDI for 25 basslines and 50 synth loops, Equinox hands over ultimate creative control, allowing for endless customisation of melodies and sonic patterns.

At an unzipped size of 5.9GB, all formatted in pristine 24-Bit WAV, Equinox - Psytrance is a heavyweight. We have assembled a resource that is both an immediate for inspiration and a long-term production partner that. You can lawyers count on, providing the essential Psytrance samples needed to craft tracks that are not just technically proficient, but truly transcendent.
