Dark Pressure is an expansion for Native Instruments Maschine, created with the help of DJ and producer Steve Lawler along with sound design house Loopmasters.

This Dark Pressure pack gives your Maschine and Maschine Mikro the sound of underground dance music, techno, minimal, tech-house and related genre.

The pack includes snares, kits and percussions samples of 42 kits with over 200 pre-programmed patterns. The pack also includes 64 pre-sliced percussion loops for instant mixing, and this is the first time any expansion pack includes them.

Steve Lawler himself created many of the patterns, and was also providing professional building blocks for the production of muscular electronic.

Native Instruments used analog equipment to produce the sounds and patches for the Dark Pressure expansion pack along with Maschine's built-in effects.

The expansion will seamlessly integrate with your Maschine sound library and also comes with 5 demo projects which showcase the potential of this expansion pack. There is also a smaller version of Dark Pressure for iMaschine users, which brings the same idea to your iPhone or iPod touch.

You can buy the Dark Pressure expansion pack at the NI online shop for $59. The mobile version is available through In-App Purchase for only $0.99.
