Chill-struments
Ableton Live Pack

70 Ableton Live Instrument Racks made from samples of Teenage Engineering's OP-1. These sounds are a bit more on the mellow and relaxed side, and would be appropriate in any genre of music (not just one with the word "chill" in the name!). The sounds were designed using the various synthesizer engines and effects of the OP-1.

*Requires Ableton Live Standard 10.1 and Above.

Laid Back Sounds for Relaxing and Soothing Music

I wanted to build a collection of instruments that were a bit laid back and relaxed… The kind of stuff that would fit in an ambient track or some music meant for relaxation and meditation.

I turned to my trusty OP-1 by Teenage Engineering for the job.

The OP-1 has 10 distinct synthesizer engines, each with its own character and charm. Coupled with its built-in effects, you can really achieve sounds with lots of depth and motion.

OP-1 Synthesizer Engines

Each of the 10 OP-1 synthesizer engines were used to create the sounds that were sampled in Chill-struments. I programmed each patch with the intention for mellow, relaxed sounds, and made use of the OP-1’s built-in effects to help add depth and character to each sound.

Fully Customizable Ableton Live Instrument Racks

Once I had a collection of samples from the OP-1, I brought those sounds into Live’s Sampler. I found interesting ways to loop the samples to help create evolving textures as you hold notes down. There’s also an aftertouch vibrato effect that kicks in as you increase the pressure as you hold down the keys.

Each instrument can be modified and enhanced using the Macro Controls on the Instrument Racks. Easily sculpt the sound’s duration and filter out frequencies. Add depth and space with the Spread, Reverb, and Delay controls. Just a few turns of the knobs and you have new and unique sounds that fit in any mix. Automate those controls for instruments that come to life.
