Dub Techno transforms your Novation Circuit Tracks into a modern Dub Techno instrument where hypnotic grooves, evolving atmospheres and endless echoes meet the precision of Techno.
Inspired by the meeting point between Dub and Techno, the pack explores both worlds without compromise. Featuring 120 patches — including 56 Dub Chords, 16 Deep Basses, 24 Poly Synths, 16 Pads, 6 Performance Effects — plus 18 demo projects, the collection blends dub chords, evolving delays, cavernous reverbs and atmospheric textures with solid drums, sub basslines and hypnotic sequences, creating everything from introspective listening experiences to late-night club tracks.
Dub Techno captures the essence of the genre: repetition, subtle evolution and space. Every patch has been designed to breathe, evolve and interact with delay and reverb, allowing simple patterns to grow into rich, immersive soundscapes full of movement and emotion.
LONG DESCRIPTION:
DUB TECHNO is a complete Dub Techno production toolkit built exclusively for Novation Circuit Tracks.
More than just a sound pack, DUB TECHNO transforms Circuit Tracks into an instrument dedicated to deep, hypnotic and atmospheric electronic music — where the precision of Techno meets the spacious echoes and organic soul of Dub.
Inspired by the timeless aesthetics of Dub Techno, the pack explores both sides of the genre. Some sounds lean towards stripped-back, hypnotic club grooves, while others embrace the deep, spacious character of classic Dub, making the collection equally suited for immersive listening and dancefloor-focused productions.
At the heart of the pack are 56 carefully designed Dub Chords — the unmistakable signature of Dub Techno. Rich in movement, delay and spacious reverberation, they have been programmed to come alive with even the simplest sequences, creating evolving textures that drift naturally through the mix.
Together with 16 deep basses, 24 atmospheric polyphonic synths, 16 evolving pads, and expressive Dub effects, the pack offers an extensive palette of sounds designed to build complete productions entirely inside Circuit Tracks.
Rather than focusing on complexity, every patch has been designed around the philosophy that defines Dub Techno: subtle variation, space, repetition and atmosphere. Even a simple chord progression can evolve into a rich, immersive soundscape simply through the interaction of delay, reverb and performance controls.
56 Authentic Dub Chords
Dub Chords are the foundation of Dub Techno, and this collection places them at the centre of the instrument.
The pack includes 56 unique Dub chord patches, ranging from soft, warm and deeply atmospheric textures to darker, more mechanical stabs designed for driving Techno rhythms.
Each patch is velocity sensitive, and has been carefully programmed to interact naturally with Circuit Tracks’ delay and reverb engines, allowing short sequences to bloom into wide, evolving sonic landscapes.
Whether you’re creating minimal loops, deep club grooves or spacious ambient passages, these chords deliver the unmistakable character of classic Dub Techno.
16 Deep Dub Basses
The basses have been designed specifically for Dub Techno.
Deep, warm and focused on the low frequencies, they provide the solid foundation required for spacious mixes while leaving plenty of room for delays, reverbs and evolving chord textures.
From weighty sub basses to more defined analogue-inspired tones, they perfectly complement the Dub Chords without overwhelming the mix.
24 Atmospheric Polyphonic Synths
Beyond the signature chords, the pack includes a wide range of polyphonic textures designed to expand your productions.
Cold digital textures, warm analogue-inspired timbres, drifting atmospheres and evolving harmonic layers provide additional depth while preserving the unmistakable identity of the genre.
These sounds move naturally between Dub, Ambient and Deep Techno, making them suitable far beyond traditional Dub Techno productions.
16 Evolving Pads
Long, immersive and constantly shifting.
These pads are designed to create depth, emotion and movement, filling the background with slowly evolving harmonics that become part of the overall atmosphere rather than dominating the mix.
Performance Effects & Dub Sirens
To capture the performative spirit of Dub, the pack also includes a collection of noise effects, transition textures, modulation effects and classic Dub Sirens.
The Dub SFX respond beautifully to real-time control, allowing expressive pitch sweeps and LFO manipulation that recreate the unmistakable live energy of traditional Dub sound systems while fitting naturally into modern Techno productions.
18 Included Projects
The pack includes 18 fully programmed Dub Techno projects showcasing the full range of the Sound Pack.
Some focus on hypnotic, driving club rhythms inspired by modern Deep Techno, while others explore slower, more spacious compositions with a stronger Dub influence.
Each project demonstrates different sequencing techniques, reverb and delay settings, arrangement ideas and performance possibilities, making them equally valuable as production tools and creative inspiration.
In addition, 6 dedicated rhythm projects focus exclusively on drum programming, offering ready-to-use Dub Techno grooves that can easily be combined with your own melodic ideas.
Drums & Samples
The included drum library provides everything needed for complete Dub Techno productions.
It contains carefully selected kicks, snares, rimshots, claps, hi-hats, electronic and acoustic percussion, Dub effects and vocal samples.
