Produced in collaboration with music production legend Dave Parkinson, we are proud to present the highly-anticipated Dave Parkinson Progressive Essentials!
As a 25+ year production veteran and engineer for artists like Mark Knight and Kolonie, Dave is among the best in the industry – and this time, he has created a truly game-changing collection of samples, presets, and project files geared specifically toward the modern progressive sounds of Eric Prydz, Artbat, Camelphat, Kolonie, Miss Monique, Korolova, and more.
With 5 GB of spine-tingling, darker, and more nostalgic sounds to satisfy the contemporary progressive palate, this pack is overflowing with truly beautiful leads, unforgettable pianos, crisp, pristine drum hits and loops, minimal arpeggios, ear-pleasing plucks, haunting vocals, powerful basslines, and atmospheric FX.
If you’re looking for the tools to create truly beautiful and cutting-edge progressive tracks, do not miss out on the pure creative inspiration and treasure trove of super usable sounds in this pack!
Sample Pack Content
Due to the sheer size of this pack, we’ve split it up into smaller parts to make downloading easy. Please note that you’ll need around 5 GB of free space to extract everything.
Here is a detailed breakdown:

Presets
These are patches exported directly from the work on the sample pack and his own existing projects, so you are getting the genuine "bread and butter” sounds Dave uses daily in the studio. All sounds are named and organized in traditional Freshly Squeezed Samples fashion.
50x Spire presets: 10 acids, 10 basses, 10 leads, 10 pads and 10 plucks
Synths
Want to get a tighter bass drop at your climax? Use bass hits in your sampler for tighter envelope control and more punch in your mix.
All the one-shots are engineered to perfection and instantly usable straight out of the box. All one-shots samples also have the key in the filename.
All stabs and loops are keyed and BPM labelled. MIDI files for the loops are also included.
