Hi i do alot of production with my m3 and i've been having a hard time finding great "industry" sounds. Does anyone know any great hip hop or dance basses, synths, or ambience to use in those genres? i've been especially looking for a sort of whistle sound that you can hear on many dirty south beats and lately on ludacris how low can you go. also looking for great snare drum for drum rolls on the board.

Its all there in the M3. The reason why you may not hear it in the presets because most professionals create they're own sounds. get in there and make the sound you need. I do it. If you don't know how then you should research on sound designing.

if you play the Mega lead slide you finger on the ribbon to the right and that synth sounds turns in to a whistle Sort of. In lead synth section

I use the mega lead right now, its actually one of my fav's that and the rapper's delight, i think i need to do the sound design research, that sounds interesting, got any websites, or resources you can point me in the direction of? thanks alot man! i'm def down to create my own sounds, i just dont know how!

Hey dude,
Do you have the Radias EXB? Its killer for great basses and hard synths.
Also Kidnepro has a nice beatboxing kit and some other really drumkits and synths/sounds/rap vocals.

Very worth the money in my opinion.
