174bpm 4 bars liquid dnb synth melody

About this sample

This synth melody features a smooth, warm liquid drum & bass tone built from a blend of sine, triangle, and subtly detuned square waves, giving it a soft but rich harmonic texture. Notes are shaped with a gentle 15ms attack and a long 300ms release to create overlapping, flowing phrases over 4 bars at 174 BPM. A 4-pole low-pass filter at 1400Hz keeps the sound mellow and submerged, while chorus and dotted-eighth note delay effects add stereo shimmer and rhythmic depth. Gentle saturation adds analog warmth, and a panning modulation gives subtle stereo movement.

It suits liquid drum & bass and related genres at faster tempos around 174 BPM, providing an ethereal melodic element. Layer it beneath more percussive parts or pads, and be mindful of its wide stereo spread and delay tails to avoid cluttering the midrange. Further subtle EQ or compression can help it sit smoothly in dense mixes.
