Here's a rack that links an unlimited number of impulses together to form a drum layering system. It's really handy when you need to build loud, club-friendly drum kits.

Ableton really should provide an official rack share area where we can upload, download, and vote on racks.

I'm back , here's my RACK

Post by Angstrom » Mon Feb 05, 2007 10:56 pm

greetings.

here is a drum rack, all the drum sounds are made out of single cycle waveforms in Simpler. The waves are the ones that ship with Live (in the harmonics dept). I think the waves are mainly either sine waves or noise waves.

Each voice has a couple of layers and 8 macros, each drum voice has its own individual style so the macros for each are a little different.

EG , one of the kicks has a snap and a pop control, the other has the ability to morph from one annoying mode to another. well anyway, theres a demo 'song' which is simply me turning dials while some drum paterns play. really damn terrible as a 'song' but it should give you an idea.

you will need a relatively modern CPU as it consumes about 50% on my dothan 2.0

I love this thread. I'll need to post some of my racks soon. One favor to ask. Do you think that you could list the date each rack is posted when you edit the front page list? There are getting to be so many that I'm having a hard time telling if I already grabbed them or not.

I have been thinking how to deal with this...
maybe a zip pack of the older ones- and then date the new ones??

As it is, the new ones are always added to the end of the list (for instruments and effects respectively).

I think that zipping the old and dating the new is a great idea. I check the end of the thread too but with all the cross talk (like this :D ) in there weeding through can be a pain.

very cool, really solid :D

unfortunately the "filtered noise" sample is missing from my system, any idea which pack its in ??

thanks

ooh, not sure which pack thats in.

Filtered Noize.aif 1.8 meg , in my library it is in Waveforms/Texture.

the packs I have installed right now are:

Live 6 beta essentials ( only just noticed that 'beta' !)
Live 6 basics
Live 6 lessons
Sampler Pack.

so I have a bad feeling it is in the 'sampler pack', which is a biggish download.
All it sounds like (the raw sample) is a bit of white noise with a notch filter on it.

you could just hot swap the sample for a bit of white noise that has had a stuck phaser applied to it.

Damn , I thought I'd used all included waves. Ah well.
they haven't actually included a full set of synth waves as far as I can tell, IE: sine saw, ramp, triangle, square, white noise, pink noise. Only a few are supplied as far as I can tell.
