Pacific Vinyl Synths Ableton Live Pack

The Pacific Vinyl Synths Ableton Live Pack is a collection of Instrument Racks with lots of warmth, character, and vinyl grit. I have a small collection of old vinyl records that feature the sounds of instruments from the Pacific Islands. The instruments and music have a charm that transports you to another world. I wanted to have some of this vibe in my own music. 

*Both the Americanas and Pacific Vinyl Synths Ableton Live Packs are included in the VINYL Ableton Live Pack.*

I searched the records for moments when certain instruments were isolated and sampled those moments. From there, I pitched the samples on the keyboard and built a collection of Ableton Live Instrument Racks. 

The crackling of the vinyl inherent in each sound is apparent in each instrument, giving it character and analog warmth, as well as some grit and texture. All sounds are named after islands in the Pacific. Enjoy!

Check out the video below in which I explore the Instrument Racks in the collection.

VINYL
Ableton Live Pack

VINYL is a collection of 50 Ableton Live Instrument Racks that have the sound of vinyl records. 

The instruments were created from micro samples of a collection of vinyl records. The crackling of the vinyl inherent in each sound is apparent in each instrument, giving it character and analog warmth, as well as some grit and texture. All sounds are named after islands in the Pacific and places in the Americas.
