_retro grade SSS127




    _retro grade is that lo-fi tape meets digital effect that everyone loves for Ableton Intro. 128 lo-fi to study by presets + 12 controls to make anyone a master of magnetics in no time.


    Glue, saturate, warble, add noise, crush, and degrade your way back to the prehistoric ages with this Ableton Intro compatible effects rack. Go from slightly hazy vibes, to “that’s definitely lo-fi,” to utterly broken, with this all-in-one tape inspired multi-effect. We even added a “scrub” control that allows you to mess around with the tape speed directly and glitch it out for some pretty unique results.


    Our aim was to make an easy to effect, that everyone seems to want, but make it work in Ableton Intro with stock devices. We hope it serves you well for all your over-the-top tape style effects.


    Degradation rules the nation.

    _roar 256 SSS101




      _roar 256 consecrates the release of Ableton 12 with 256 presets for its new saturation device, Roar. Add subtle colour, fold harmonics, or maim that tune.


      Roar is made up of three saturation stages for serial, parallel or mid/side and multiband madness. Feedback and modulation controls let you add dynamic, evolving saturation and colour or outright sound destruction.


      Drums, bass, vocals, guitars, synths, group tracks, and mix buses will benefit from the beautiful damage that these presets can cause. An all-around buffet featuring anything from creamy colours, to spiced saturations, to inedible indelicacies - this pack of plenty has it all.


      We’ve been hard at work making this huge pack of presets for the launch of Ableton 12, while getting to know the new features that help enhance them, like the new tagging and filter features. Preset tags are now included with our Ableton presets so you can find what you’re after faster!


      Butcher your bop.


      • Minimum requirements: Ableton Suite 12.0+

      • 256 Ableton Roar Instrument Presets. (ADV files)

      • 100% Royalty-Free.

      _rotary club SSS099




        _rotary club brings the sumptuous sounds of spinning speakers to Ableton Live for all humankind, with easy to use controls and 64 effects presets.


        The “Leslie” speaker effect was made famous by Hammond organs blasting through them, but this mechanically-based “doppler effect” in-a-box has also been used on countless different instruments and voices since its invention. It’s a tough effect to emulate exactly, and many have failed in doing so. We’re not saying that we’ve mastered an accurate model of a real rotating speaker, but we’ve made it a lot more fun and easy to get “that sound” in Ableton in the form of an Ableton effects rack.


        Use the 16 macros to design your own dynamic doppler. Add some barely bluesy amp modelling, tweak your tubes, make it more vintage, and add some noise to any sound. Dial in some stage style reverb, a classic ensemble/chorus effect, and the amount + speed of spin you desire. With 16 macro controls that can be easily automated, and 64 macro sound effects presets, you’ll be the sultan of spin in less than a revolution.


        Your brain is a wonderful organ.
