HardHardstyle and rawstyle: one held note plays the whole world

About

Hard is a world of hard dance in your key, in four styles: Hardstyle (150 BPM: a distorted kick on every beat, a reverse bass between them, a screaming lead), Rawstyle (155: darker and harder, with a gritty rolling bass), Euphoric (150: big supersaw chords, a reverse bass and a soaring lead) and Hard Dance (145: an offbeat bass, sixteenth hats and short stabs).

Pick a style and it plays straight away: drums, percussion, chords, bass and a lead, with eight variations of each. Every lane is played by DAAZ AUDIO's own engines (Drachma Pro and Silica sounds, Baby kicks and a designed kit) and mixed like a track, with ducking under the kick, space, echo, glue and a limiter.

Switch sections (INTRO, BUILD, DROP, BREAK and OUTRO) and the change lands exactly on the next bar. ALL LANES puts every lane on the same variation at one click, SHUFFLE picks for each at random, and AUTO plays through them all, one step each time round the loop. Press NEW on a lane for eight more, or NEW WORLD for everything. Mute and level each lane, play the chords sound on your keyboard, and drag any lane, or the whole mix, into your DAW as a seamless WAV loop or as MIDI.

What's inside

  • 4 styles: Hardstyle, Rawstyle, Euphoric and Hard Dance
  • 5 lanes of 8 variations, with NEW per lane and NEW WORLD
  • ALL LANES, SHUFFLE and AUTO to hear every variation
  • Drachma Pro and Silica sounds, Baby kicks and a designed kit
  • Mixed like a track: ducking, space, echo, glue and a limiter
  • Sections that switch on the bar
  • Drag lanes or the mix as WAV loops or MIDI
  • Your key and chords, LINK to Inspire, in time with your DAW

What's new

  • ALL LANES: every lane on one variation at a click, SHUFFLE, and AUTO to play through them all
  • A new style, key or world is ready three to four times faster
  • While it's made, a popup says what's coming and the old world plays on quieter, then the new one comes in on the bar
  • Changing drums is quicker when the kicks stay in the same places
  • PLAY and SYNC side by side, the same size
  • Closing it while a style is being made no longer risks a crash
