Novachord, MachineKits, Tubular Bells and more
Ableton has announced three new Partner Instruments to add for Live: Novachord, MachineKits plus Tubular Bells.
- Soniccouture Novachord – a collection of presets that is based on the faithfully sampled sounds of the Novachord – a gargantuan, tube-based, 72-note polyphonic synthesizer from 1938.
- Puremagnetik MachineKits – a high quality library of drum machines programmed specifically for Ableton Live.
- SonArte Tubular Bells, a collection of tubular bell presets meticulously sampled from a vintage instrument and transformed into ambient, rhythmic and synthetic sounds.
And don´t forget to follow Mark Moshers work on a new LivePack:
After crossing the 30 or so hour boundary on the Live Pack edition of the project I’ve been giving some thought as to how to handle other editions. I’ve gone WAY deeper than I imagined on the programming side and know that attempting to replicate the work on another synth would require I set aside a similar amount of time to do the work it justice in another format.
So, if you are following along, you know that Absynth won the reader’s poll. I’ve made the decision that I won’t re-programming the library on Absynth (at least right away). The good news is that instead I will release my original source audio samples licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
The overall license for using the library for use in music and sound compositions will be “a non-exclusive royalty-free” by the way.
In the end, this means you’ll be able to use this source content in synths that support original samples as oscillator sources. Some that come to mind are Absynth, Alchemy, Blofled, ElectraX and so on.
