Creative Diversity — 5 Live Packs from international Ableton artists
We are happy to present a new series of Live Packs from five international Ableton artists. This collection represents the regional and musical diversity of the Ableton community, featuring experimental sonic textures and drum kits courtesy of Saturn Never Sleeps (USA), funky, Neo-Afro live stylings from Gazelle (South Africa), a breakdown of "Hit Me" — the Italo-disco take on Ian Dury's classic by Telonius (Germany), as well as the results of a sampling spree through the catalog of Truth and Soul Records by Apple Juice Kid (USA) and some experiments in extreme compression from Ben Frost (Iceland).
Explore. Get inspired. Remix.*

Ben Frost
"I will say this: compression is a dark, treacherous beast and, in sonic terms at least, battling with it is at the core of this record...this session, among other things, is probably a fine lesson in what not to do with it."Read more...
Requires Live 8.2.1 or higher
Saturn Never Sleeps
"Ableton Live allows us to create continuous homemade rhythms on the spot. The Saturn Never Sleeps Elements Ableton Live Pack is a palette of loops, sounds, kits and tools that represent the experimental feeling we push for at all of our live performances."Read more...
Requires Live 8.2.1 or higher
Apple Juice Kid
"I have always been a fan of Truth and Soul Records so I was excited to get permission to sample their music...This song, Detroit, is intended for a songwriter or on an upcoming Truth and Soul Remixed album."Read more...
Requires Suite 8.2.1 or higher
Gazelle
"Let me paint a little picture for you: imagine the funkiest bassist on your left, a super tight drummer on your right, and a crazy Neo-Afro rockstar singer in the front and then you start to see where this fits in..."Read more...
Requires Suite 8.2.1 or higher
Telonius
"Now you can get my track "Hit Me" with some extra beats and bass on top. Cut it, deconstruct it, waste it but be aware of the words of Ian Dury: "HIT ME WITH YOUR RYTHM STICK"!Read more...
Requires Suite 8.2.1 or higher

* Have fun playing with the Packs, but make sure not to use them commercially.
Note: Some of these Live Packs use instruments that are only available as add-ons or as part of Ableton Suite. If you open one of these Packs and you don't own all of instruments that it uses, or you are using Live Intro or Live Lite, then Live will run with saving/exporting disabled.
