Future Bass had its big moment around 2015-2017 when Flume, Cashmere Cat, San Holo, Marshmello, The Chainsmokers, and Illenium were everywhere on Spotify. The genre’s signature sound, those detuned supersaw chords, side-chained pumping pads, vocal chops, and half-time trap drums, became one of the most influential sounds of the streaming era.
Even though the trend has cooled, the production techniques have spread everywhere. From Pop hits to TikTok-friendly indie tracks, future bass DNA is still in the water. The good news is most of the best future bass packs are dialed-in toolkits with melodies, chords, drums, and vocal chops ready to drop into your DAW.
This list rounds up the best future bass sample packs covering everything from melody-focused MIDI toolkits to full multi-GB construction kits with vocals, drums, and presets. Image credits go to Loopmasters & Splice.
1. Freaky Loops Future Bass Melodies
Starting with a melody-focused toolkit. Future Bass Melodies by Freaky Loops covers every kind of future bass sound to make some game-changing tracks, with the core elements you need for your next chart-topper.
You get 170 loops running between 140-160 BPM, broken down into chords and synths, melodies, plucks and arps, and pads. Plus you get 147 MIDI files giving you the master sequences so you can fully customise the sounds and melodies in your own way.
Inside there are smooth dubbed-out chord progressions, futuristic lush synths, rich arpeggios, evolving pads, cottony plucks, and lo-fi smooth keys to dusty atmospheric melodies. The pack works for Future Bass, Future RnB, Chill-Trap, Dubstep, Electronica, Chill, Hip-Hop, Future Beats, and Downtempo as well.
For me the MIDI inclusion is what makes this stand out, you can completely re-pitch and re-arrange the melodies on your own synths. Personally the chord progressions are the highlight here, future bass lives or dies on its chords and these are dialled in.
Pros: 170 loops with 147 matching MIDI files for full melodic flexibility. Cons: No drums or one-shots, melody-focused only.
2. Black Octopus Ultimate Future Bass Bangers
This one’s a heavyweight. Ultimate Future Bass Bangers by Black Octopus delivers nearly 2GB of gigantic drops, stylish FX, melodic synths, and ultra cutting-edge drums for heavy and bass-driven future productions.
The pack is inspired by artists like Flume, Odesza, Venemy, Waveracer, Allison Wonderland, and The Chainsmokers. You get a complete toolkit including basic beat loops, drum fills, full drum loops, hi-hat loops, opened and closed hat one-shots, kick drums, rim shots, snares, plus 167 FX, synth/bass loops ideal for breakdowns, and synth/bass loops ideal for huge drops.
The split between breakdown loops and drop loops is genuinely useful, those are the two main moments in any future bass track and having dedicated material for each saves time. All loops and samples are BPM and key labelled.
I love how the pack is structured around the actual song sections, breakdown vs drop, that’s how producers think about the genre. I’d say Black Octopus is one of the most reliable labels in the bass music world, they consistently deliver banger packs.
Pros: Massive 2GB pack with breakdown and drop-specific loops plus full drum content. Cons: Older release, slightly mainstream-leaning sound.
3. Producer Loops Future Bass Vol 1
Construction kits get the spotlight here. Future Bass Vol 1 by Producer Loops combines the experimental sound design of bass music with the vibe of RnB, focusing on deep side-chained grooves and energetic synth melodies.
The pack delivers 5 construction kits packed with slow-jam beats, Trap-style drums, buzzing synths, plucks, risers, noise FX, and more, designed to create the perfect future bass hit. Crucially, you get MIDI files for the majority of musical phrases, plus both dry and wet versions of every loop and even unlooped/tail versions so you can end phrases with natural reverb decay.
The wet versions contain all the effects from the audio demos, while the dry versions let you do your own processing. That dry/wet flexibility is one of the smartest features in any sample pack format.
Personally the unlooped tail versions are a brilliant detail, those reverb tails are exactly what producers need for transitions. For me the construction kit format is ideal for learning the genre, you can study how the elements layer together and then deconstruct them.
Pros: Construction kits with MIDI, dry/wet versions, and unlooped tails. Cons: Only 5 kits, more limited content than larger packs.
4. Niche Audio Twisted Future Bass
Aggressive, jagged future bass right here. Twisted Future Bass by Niche Audio is an all-new collection of genre-authentic production samples, propelling your next productions into the future with heavy-hitting drums, killer basslines, intense leads, and twisted FX.
You get a complete content split with bass loops, drum loops, FX and vocal loops, melodic loops, top loops, melodic one-shots, and drum and percussion one-shots. The pack is rough and jagged, designed for that bass cutter style that’s harder to get on your own.
It’s also formatted for Maschine and Ableton Live with full kits, MIDI patterns, and project files for instant playability. The pack covers more aggressive future bass territory rather than the polished chart-topper sound, so it’s better if you produce darker bass material.
I have to say the “twisted” in the title is accurate, this leans into the wonky, distorted side of the genre rather than the squeaky-clean Marshmello aesthetic. Don’t sleep on this if you want future bass with more aggression and less sugary pop appeal.
Pros: Aggressive twisted future bass aesthetic with Maschine and Ableton Live native formatting. Cons: Smaller pack, harder edge won’t suit pop-leaning producers.
5. Apollo Sound Future Bass Vocalism
Vocal chops are the heart of future bass. Future Bass Vocalism by Apollo Sound is a cutting-edge pack of futuristic vocal chops, adlibs, and chopped vocal loops, locked into the genre’s signature pitched-up vocal aesthetic.
Inside you’ll find 200 selected vocal chops and adlibs, split evenly between 100 male and 100 female voices. All of them are tuned, equalised, processed, and ready to use in your DAW and samplers. There are also 50 vocal loops with MIDI files, 50 REX2 sliced vocal loops, and 200 sampler patches for Kontakt and EXS24.
Don’t let the future bass label fool you, these vocals work across Trap, Dubstep, DnB, House, and Hardstyle as well. The MIDI files for the vocal loops are particularly useful, you can re-pitch the chop melodies on your own synths or layer them with vocoded versions.
I love how the male/female split is balanced, most vocal chop packs lean heavily one way. For me the MIDI files are the killer feature, you can use the chops as melodic ideas even without the audio.
Pros: 300 vocal chops/loops with MIDI and male/female balance. Cons: Vocal-focused only, you’ll need other packs for drums and synths.
6. Production Master Lavish Future Bass
This one is a stack of silky, lush sounds. Lavish Future Bass by Production Master takes you to a silky-sounding universe created by various top future bass producers, packed with rich sounds and beats.
You get drum loops, drum one-shots, FX, melodic loops, and melodic one-shots covering 808s, arpeggios, bass, keys, leads, orchestral elements, pads, sub, and synths. The aesthetic is locked into the future bass sound championed by Flume, Jack U, Marshmello, San Holo, Wave Racer, Mura Masa, Allison Wonderland, Pusher, Zedd, WRLD, Illenium, Porter Robinson, Louis The Child, The Chainsmokers, and Louis Futon.
Inside there are sultry vintage-style chords, filtered openers, upsweeping chopped vocal loops, beautiful plucks, massive drums, lush keys, orchestral elements, and build and drop FX. The orchestral elements are the secret weapon, those add a cinematic touch that elevates future bass beyond pure dance music.
Personally the orchestral additions are what makes this pack special, future bass with strings is the Illenium sound that took the genre into a new emotional space. I’d say the artist reference list reads like a who’s who of the genre, this is properly dialled into the right aesthetic.
Pros: Lush future bass with orchestral elements referencing every major artist in the genre. Cons: No MIDI files, audio-only content.
7. Sample Diggers Future Bass
Pristine and uplifting throughout. Future Bass by Sample Diggers is an uplifting and pristine selection of 31st-century sounds, weighing in at over 900MB of expertly designed synths, beautiful keys, crystal-clear drums, pads, basses, and more.
The pack delivers 211 loops broken down across synth loops, full drum loops, kick snare loops, hat loops, percussion loops, bass loops, pad loops, keys loops, drum FX loops, synth lead loops, and vocal loops. Plus you get 206 one-shots (drum hits, FX, synth hits, bass hits, piano hits, vocal hits) and 106 soft sampler patches for NNXT, Halion, EXS24, Kontakt, and Sfz.
Tempos run between 128-160 BPM, working for Chilled Trap, Melodic Dubstep, Future Beats, Downtempo, and Cinematic genres beyond just future bass. The split between separate kick/snare loops and hat loops is great for layering your own custom drum patterns.
For me the comprehensive content split is the appeal, you get every element of a future bass production covered with proper category organisation. I appreciate the sampler patches inclusion, that’s becoming rarer in modern packs.
Pros: Comprehensive 900MB pack with sampler patches and clean genre-spanning content. Cons: No MIDI files, larger pack to organise.
8. Resonance Sound Future Bass MIDI Weapons 3
MIDI-only here and that’s the whole point. Future Bass MIDI Weapons 3 by Resonance Sound is the climax of the MIDI Weapons trilogy, packed with breathtaking chord progressions, main floor themes, big atmospheres, and epic pads ready to fuel your next hit.
You get 100 MIDI files in total, broken down as 66 MIDI chords, 28 MIDI leads, and 6 MIDI pads. Everything is well sorted including root note labelling, ready to chop and re-arrange. The pack is inspired by artists like Flume, Illenium, and San Holo, and works across Future Bass, Future RnB, Chill-Trap, Electronica, Chill, Dubstep, Hip-Hop, Downtempo, Abstract, Experimental, and Cinematic genres.
The MIDI-only format is the killer angle, fire up any synth of your choice and the chord progressions become your own. No audio means no time-stretching artifacts when you change tempo or pitch, and you have total control over the sound.
I love how this pack solves the hardest part of future bass, the chord progressions. Future bass chords are notoriously tricky with all those non-standard intervals, having pre-built MIDI takes that out of the equation. Don’t sleep on this if you struggle with future bass harmony, this is essentially a chord progression cheat sheet.
Pros: 100 MIDI files including 66 chord progressions for any synth. Cons: No audio content, you need your own synths and presets.
9. Class A Samples Future Bass Revolution
Closing with another well-rounded option. Future Bass Revolution by Class A Samples is inspired by hypnotic tracks from Flume, San Holo, Wave Racer, Cashmere Cat, and more, with samples designed to fit Future Bass plus Chill Trap, EDM Trap, Twerk, Cinematic, and Hip Hop.
The pack delivers 530 files in total at 126 BPM including bass loops with MIDI versions, melody loops with MIDI versions, and 90 drum loops split across full drum loops, kick and sub drum loops, and no-sub drum loops. Plus you get 80 drum hits (claps, snares, hi-hats, kicks, percussion), 60 sound FX, 10 snare rolls, 10 vocal loops, and 160 Apple Loops files.
The drum loop split between full, kick-and-sub, and no-sub versions is genuinely useful for layering, you can drop in just the kick weight or just the top elements depending on what your track needs. Everything is 24-bit/44.1kHz with key and tempo labelling.
For me the kick-and-sub vs no-sub drum loop split is a small but huge feature, that’s exactly what you need when you’re layering your own kick or 808. I’d say this is one of the more workflow-friendly packs because of those small structural decisions.
Pros: Drum loops split into full/kick-sub/no-sub versions plus MIDI for bass and melody. Cons: Locked at 126 BPM, less flexibility for tempo variation.
