Watch as UK producer TSB (J Hus, Headie One, Stormzy, Dave) builds an atmospheric trap beat from scratch with BATTERY, MASSIVE X, and the KOMPLETE KONTROL S88 Keyboard.
TSB starts by building a sinister drum groove with the “Blew Kit” from BATTERY. Then he adds chords with LO-FI GLOW and introduces a second textured melody using the “Indie Carpet” preset.
With the foundational elements in place, TSB sources a commanding kick and snare from BATTERY and continues the layering process with unique bass sounds, textured sprinkles of percussion, and an atmospheric lead line – all expertly sculpted in MASSIVE X.
To finish the beat, TSB adds a counter melody and supporting layers with HYBRID KEYS and wraps it all up with a cosmic dose of RAUM for additional atmospherics.
