Abletones have released Analog Drums, an Ableton Live Drum Rack, available as a FREE download.
Analog Drums is a Drum Rack designed to offer an alternative to the oversampled drum machines saturating the market. With samples recorded from vintage hardware synths and modern drum machines, this rack brings that quirkiness and character directly into Ableton Live. More than just a drum machine, Analog Drums is a fusion of analog drum samples and modulation capabilities, allowing you to instantly generate unique drum kits and original one-shots with a click of a button.
While the rack doesn’t come with a fancy interface like many plugins and Kontakt libraries, it offers way more in terms of flexibility and sound design. This is not your average drum rack filled with static samples — each drum cell is just a starting point that allows you to fine-tune and modulate each sound with intuitive macro controls.
Analog Drums is a flexible tool for producers and sound designers looking to inject some analog synth drums into their productions.
Features include:
- 8 Drum Tracks: Each drum track is packed with 127 unique drum one-shots.
- Over 1,000 Analog Drum One-Shots: Sourced from modern drum machines and legendary vintage analog synths like the Roland Jupiter 4, Korg Mono/Poly, Yamaha CS30L, Oberheim Xpander, Roland SH-2, Vermona Mono Lancet ’15, and Elektron Analog Rytm.
- Instant Drum Kit Generation: Use the Random (Rand) button to instantly generate new drum kits or individual drum hits, perfect for sparking inspiration and creativity.
- Advanced Modulation Controls: Each drum element features FM and pitch modulation, filter controls, volume envelopes, and a Shaper, allowing you to modify the samples and generate thousands of unique variations.
- 40+ Drum Kits (Snapshots): Pre-configured kits ready to inspire your next track.
- Compatibility: Fully compatible with all editions of Ableton Live 11 (or higher) — Intro, Standard, and Suite.
- 100% Ableton Live native
