Another week bites the dust, and its time once more for Free Stuff Friday! This week’s freebies include a versatile acoustic drum kit from us, some imaginative synth drums, and a Max for Live device that offers a quick way to organize and control parameter settings by Clip.

May 14, 2017 There really is nothing like the sound of tape, whether you’re after that crunchy saturation, warm colour or the wonky, wobbly wow & flutter you can use TAPE to add some vintage flavour to your.

An extra fistful

A little while back, we released “A Fistful of Drumkits”, a set of characterful acoustic drums from Drumdrops. Along with that release came a free extra Pack, featuring another kit with multisamples from different kits. Packed with the character of a solid acoustic drum set, Recording Hybrid Kit is a great-sounding, all-purpose drum kit.

Clip your effects

Think of Benniy Bascom’s AUTOMAT as a quicker, simpler clip envelope - take a given value on a track, and set it for a clip. Want your filter to open/close depending on the sequence? Want to switch the flanger off when you trigger the bridge? Here’s an easy and immediate way to recall effect settings by clip, via Max for Live.

Category Education; Show more. Hey Ableton peeps! I've just released TAPE, an analog tape rack for Ableton Live. It's FREE to download and is built using only native devices and a bit of common sense about how tape works - you can read more about it and hear an audio demo on the product page at the link below. Analog models the individual analog circuits-oscillators, filters, LFOs-found in a variety of legendary synthesizers. Analog integrates perfectly into Ableton Live's workflow and brings analog synthesis to Live users.

Tet a Tetra

With four voices and the juicy sound you’d expect from analog gear, the Dave Smith Instruments Tetra has become a modern classic in desktop synthesizers. Ableton Certified trainer Xavier Jacques has created a kit of pounding, futuristic drum sounds from the Tetra, including multiple variations for each sound. The whole kit is available as a free Live Pack from Ableton Live Expert.

ELPHNT has released Analog Tape, a free Ableton Live Rack, designed to emulate various audio tape effects.

Here’s what they have to say about it:

There really is nothing like the sound of tape, whether you’re after that crunchy saturation, warm colour or the wonky, wobbly wow & flutter you can use TAPE to add some vintage flavour to your productions.

Now I’ll be the first to admit, TAPE is by no means the best tape emulation out there – there are some amazing plugins that emulate the sounds of analog tape with amazing accuracy using all sorts of algorithms and component and frequency response modelling to copy the sound of tape in a very detailed way.

However, there are much more general characteristics of tape that don’t require detail circuit modelling to achieve; TAPE cleverly copies these characteristics to create a tape sound that is very generic but surprisingly authentic.

Analog Tape is a free download via the ELPHNT site.
