The Sonic ReFills collection comprises 20 volumes of Reason soundbanks, all produced by sample veterans Sonic Reality.
As you might guess by its name, this is a set of basses, though there are more than three. The sounds are organised into patches and these are grouped into three categories: Basses, Dynamic Bass, and FX and Synth Basses.
Every single sample can also be accessed individually. Each patch loads into the Combinator and comes with EQ, compression, maximiser and effects settings.

“There’s three of us playing guitar in Foo Fighters… A lot of tone details can get lost, which is what drew me to the Cleaver – that P-90 cut”: Chris Shiflett on how he found his weapon of choice with his Fender Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe
“People have used it as their wedding song. I often think, ‘Hey, did you listen to the lyrics?’”: The classic number one hit with a sting in its tail
