Ableton Live 8 and Suite 8: Create, Produce, Perform 16 the provided slider. The Body section handles the parameters for simulating the effect that the body or soundboard of a string instrument has on the frequency content and how the string’s vibrations resonate. Settings for Body type, Decay, Low/High Cut, and String/Body balance, all contribute the realistic modeling of this physical property. The Filter/Global tab includes a filter section for sound shaping, which contains Filter, Filter Envelope, LFO, and global controls with sections relating to MIDI and performance parameters. These parameters include Keyboard (tuning, polyphony, pitch bend, etc.), Unison Mode (stacking voices for a chorus-like effect), Portamento, and Volume knob. Figure 1.22 Tension: Filter/Global tab. The full version of Tension is not included with Live 8 but can be purchased separately. Tension is not only limited to creating traditional string sounds; rather it can be very useful as sound design too. To get a handle on Tension and all its possibilities, explore its presets and try experimenting with your own sounds in similar ways. 8 Drum Machines Drum Machines is a 540-MB, 24-bit 96-kHz sample collection of the most popular and sought after vintage electronic drum machines/computers from past years. It has been integrated as an expansion to the Live library, developed, recorded, and programmed by Puremagnetik. Their goal was to recreate the classics as closely as possible. The Drum Machines sample collection seamlessly integrates Drum Rack presets found in the Device Browser’s Instruments>Drum Rack>kit folder and also comes with a collection of Live Clips that are installed along with the Drum Machines Live Pack. Don’t let the number of selected Drum Machines fool you. The included preset library contains a surprisingly vast amount of unique sounding variations for these classic “beatbox-like” iconic sounds. Drag any of these presets from the
Figure 1.23 Drum Machines Drum Rack. Suite 8 Drum Rack folder in the Device Browser to an empty MIDI track to start using them. Note that all these Rack presets are mapped to Macro Controls by default. Feel free to add and chain together additional sounds to each Drum Rack Pad to layer and build your Drum Machine sounds into megastacked creations. Drum Machines is available separately for purchase as a download for those who do not own Suite 8. It comes as a Live Pack that you’ll need to install after Live 8 has been installed. The simple installation process will automatically add Drum Machines’ samples, presets, and clips (MIDI patterns) into your Live 8 Library. For quick access to Drum Machines kits and clips, use Help View. Same as for other various folders in the Library.
