Beyond Ballads unites 150 presets for AstroLab and Analog Lab designed for a softer, more emotive side of modern songwriting. Soft pianos, expressive strings, warm basses, airy leads and lush pads come together in a sound world informed by ballad pop, alternative RnB and lo-fi-infused production. Drawing on the world of Joji, Pomme, Frank Ocean, Luther, and Billie Eilish, this collection favours closeness, restraint, and understated detail. Whether you are sketching delicate vocal arrangements, introspective rhythms or slower-moving phrases, Beyond Ballads brings warmth, space and nuance to modern production and performance.
