The Official CamelPhat Producer Pack

The Producer School has teamed up with Grammy-nominated duo CamelPhat to release their first-ever official producer pack - a deep collection of the signature sounds that define their biggest records. In this full walkthrough, Niek breaks down everything inside the pack: Serum 2 presets, Diva presets, signature sounds, sample packs, loops, MIDI files, and more. Whether you are a fan of their music or simply want to level up your house and techno productions, this pack was built directly with CamelPhat's vision and the sounds they use every single day.

What Is Inside the CamelPhat Producer Pack?

The official CamelPhat producer pack is a comprehensive collection co-created directly with CamelPhat - Mike and Dave - to reflect the sounds they genuinely use in their productions. The pack is split into several categories. There are 60 Serum 2 presets and 60 Diva presets, each covering basses, leads, plugs, and synths. On top of the synth presets, you get a full sample pack with drum loops, one-shot drum samples, FX sounds, and a dedicated signature sounds folder containing loops and one-shots taken directly from their records. Every preset comes with a matching MIDI file so you can load a sound and immediately have a working melodic or bass idea to build on. All loops are key and BPM-labeled, making them straightforward to drop into any project.

What Are the Serum 2 Presets Like?

The Serum 2 section contains 60 presets divided across four categories: basses, leads, plugs, and synths. Bass presets like "Away" deliver the warm, analog-sounding rolling bass that CamelPhat is known for - hold one note and LFO1 handles the rolling movement automatically. "Bass Kinetic" adds the arpeggiator function with a slight swing that creates that characteristic CamelPhat groove, and you can switch the swing off using Macro 2 to keep it straight 1/16th notes. Lead presets cover a wide range, from the signature sound in tracks like Spectrum ("Lead Breeze") to large ambient pads with fine-tuning modulation ("Lead Frame"). Every preset ships with macros that let you quickly adjust the cutoff, change LFO speed, blend in white noise, or tweak reverb, distortion, and chorus - so shaping the sound to fit your track takes seconds rather than hours.

How Do You Use the Diva Presets?

The pack includes a second full bank of 60 presets built for Diva, organized into the same four categories: basses, leads, plugs, and synths. Just like the Serum 2 presets, every single Diva preset has a MIDI file attached so you can drag the pattern straight into your DAW and hear it in context immediately. Rolling bass presets like "Bass Shuffle" give you that swing-heavy garage-influenced movement, while "Bass Stronger" delivers a fat square-and-saw combination that sits well in a dense low-end mix. On the lead side, presets such as "Lead Electronic" capture the very recognizable CamelPhat synth character, and automating the cutoff on sounds like this creates evolving patterns that keep listeners engaged. The plug and synth categories round out the bank with textures ranging from warm, mellow pads to LFO-modulated evolving synths.

How to Use the Sample Pack and Drum Loops

The sample pack is structured around everything you need to build a complete drum arrangement. Inside you will find five drum loop categories:

  • 15 hat loops - tight and rhythmic, suited for high-frequency groove work
  • Kick loops - powerful, club-tested low-end foundations
  • 25 percussion loops - adding movement and texture between the main hits
  • 15 shake loops - subtle rhythmic elements that help glue a mix together
  • 15 top loops - driving full-loop rhythms to quickly establish a groove

For one-shot drum programming, the pack covers claps, closed hats, open hats, kicks, snares, percussion, shakers, and toms - all stacked deep within each folder. There is also a dedicated collection of drum fills that are especially useful when building tension heading into a drop or transition. The FX folder handles the transitions themselves with downlifters, impacts, risers, drones, and uplifters.

What Is the Signature Sounds Folder?

The signature sounds folder is arguably the most distinctive part of the entire pack. It contains bass and synth loops, one-shot samples, kicks, and top loops that are taken directly from the recordings and productions that CamelPhat have made throughout their career. These are not generic stock sounds - they are the actual sonic DNA of the tracks that have defined their discography. Unlike the other folders which provide building blocks, the signature sounds folder gives you context: you can hear exactly how these elements sit in a mix, how the bass tones are shaped, and how the kick character relates to the rest of the rhythm. It is the ideal reference point whether you are trying to recreate a specific sound aesthetic or simply understand what makes the CamelPhat sound so recognizable in a club context.

How to Get Ideas Flowing Fast With the MIDI Pack

One of the most practical features of the pack is that every preset - both in Serum 2 and Diva - comes with a corresponding MIDI file. These MIDI files are also collected separately in a dedicated MIDI folder so you can browse and grab patterns without needing to open a preset first. The workflow is simple:

  1. Load a bass or lead preset into Serum 2 or Diva
  2. Drag the matching MIDI file onto that instrument's track
  3. Instantly hear a working melodic idea that was designed specifically for that sound
  4. Use that as a starting point and modify notes, rhythm, or velocity to make it your own
  5. Swap in different presets under the same MIDI to quickly explore tonal variations

All loops in the pack are also key and BPM-labeled, so you always know what you are working with and can match material to your project's root key and tempo without guessing.

How to Use the Macros to Shape Your Sound

Every preset in the pack ships with macros mapped to the most useful parameters for that specific sound. This means you do not need to dive into the synth editor to get meaningful results - you can stay focused on the arrangement and composition while still having real-time control over the character of each sound. Typical macro assignments across the presets include cutoff frequency, LFO speed (especially on the rolling bass presets), white noise blend amount, and effect levels for reverb, distortion, and chorus. On rolling bass presets like "Bass Kinetic," Macro 2 gives you direct control over the swing amount so you can dial in exactly how much of that off-kilter groove you want, or remove it entirely for a straight 1/16th-note rolling baseline. The macro system makes the pack usable as a live performance tool as well, not just a studio resource.
