_una conga is one creatively sampled conga made into a highly expressive instrument for Ableton 12 Suite. With over 328 samples, 67 conga articulations, and 32 MIDI loops, you’ll be the conguero conqueror in no time.

Cuba in a computer? Not really, but it is a conga. There are already too many sampled congas out there, so we’ve taken a different approach with this release. We sampled the usual ways that a conga is hit with fingers, palms, and mallets, but we also captured a whole library of unusual, but highly useful articulations to make this the tastiest tumbadora ever.
We set out to capture a “quinto” sized conga tuned to an E, with some subtle warmth, sheen and extra detail. We captured it through our most open sounding microphone preamplifier, our favourite ribbon mic, and then some API EQ and light vintage LA-2A compression to get our ‘perfect’ sound. We pushed the limits of normal expression with just a single “lead” conga by recording so many different types of hits, with up to 3 velocity layers, and 6 random round robins for each velocity,
After listening to the thousands of hits captured, we narrowed our selection down to 328 samples. Next we tweaked the playing feel we wanted for each key to make things sound right. We needed a sampler instrument that was easy to play, and as real feeling in the dynamics as it was in the succession of hits. Luckily, the new “round robin” feature in Ableton 12’s updated sampler instrument allowed us to realize the conga for Ableton we wanted to make (which is why this release is an Ableton 12 Suite only release).

_liquid loops includes over 340 drum & bass drum loops. Created exclusively in hardware, and inspired by the cleaner side of 2-step, this collection offers a ready to pour, undiluted collection of Liquid Drum & Bass inspired building blocks.
With 16x 4-bar drum patterns made from 16 different percussive palettes, and a whole bucket of pattern variations for each, you can mix and match, or layer and chop as you see fit to create a virtually limitless number of beat variations that work for drum & bass genres.
All loops were created at 174 bpm as a happy middle ground for tempo, while the patterns themselves are both different and similar enough to combine and arrange very fluidly.
Overall, the style is clean, simple, and ready to make dirty if you so desire. There are a few patterns that hit harder, or syncopate a little sideways, but they don’t stray too far from the overall unified, minimalist feel. This collection of loops can be used together, or as individual loops, which is why we think it’s extra “liquidy.”
We used both old and new hardware samplers to create these loops with our own samples, and then captured them through an analogue chain consisting of saturation, EQ + compression. We think you’ll enjoy the results and where these loops will blend in your mixes.
If architecture is frozen music then music must be liquid architecture.

_basement suite makes you the landlord of low end with the easiest to use bass design instrument for drum & bass music in Ableton we could make, featuring 64 sound presets + 8 macro controls
We took the approach of a sonic slumlord on this one. We gathered 7 different Ableton instruments and put them all under 1 roof. With each instrument easily controlled by 1 knob, and with some simple macro knob automation to control the timbre and dynamic of each, you’re able to create stunning drum & bass bass-scapes as simply as possible. Blend your basses, throw in some useful effects, and you’ll be living rent free in the deepest of deeps.
While other bass instruments offer endless advanced tweaks and setups, this one flips things upside down with its simplicity and ease-of use when you just need this kind of bass.

_tone deaf means 110 unique drum samples made with contact microphones & a custom drum rack for Ableton, complete with 12 macro controls + 32 kit presets.
The people always need, and always ask for more “percs” - so here’s a huge set of samples and a drum rack for Ableton Live that offers something a little different. Contact microphones offer a unique and more rare way of recording sounds through direct contact, so they pick up direct vibrations instead of acoustic sound energy. This gives the sound a more simple and pure character that’s hard to replicate. It could be described as a very muffled, resonant, full, synthetic, or even very dry and direct sound.
We recorded actual drums, cymbals, metal, wood, and all sorts of other object that made useful drum or percussion type sounds. We used 3 different types of contact microphones in various configurations to capture these drum samples, and we believe they make up a very different, but very usable percussion kit that will add a new flavour to almost any type of production.
Use our custom drum kit for Ableton, or drop the WAV samples into any software or hardware and use them your own way. The Ableton kit comes with a few different effects we tuned to the kit, and also allows you to shape the sounds in useful ways when playing, programming, or automating these “percs.”
We’re pickin' up good vibrations.

_snare sorcerer is a snare drum designer for Ableton with a twist, with 127 snare samples to seamlessly blend sticks + bodies + tails, then reshape and saturate your spells.
Have a look at what's inside and hear a sounds demo here:
https://youtu.be/MW8ekyvMdhI
With 127 Subsocial snare drum samples, and over 2 million possible combinations of stick + body + tail, your snares will literally never be the same again. By allowing you to blend the components of individual snare samples together into a new hybrid snare, you’ll have total control over a vast array of snare drum formulas as new catalysts for creativity. Go from liquid drum & bass, to ice cold 80s, to that solid, break your neck style snap - the choice yours.
Use any of the 128 snare presets provided, or blend your own snare elements together. Feel free to add a little more shape and contour to your creation to distill things further. Add some custom drum drive we created in Ableton 12 Suite’s new saturator by blending your way through 6 Roar presets we tuned specifically for snares.
Take further control of this snare designer as an instrument with 12 simple device macro knobs to dial in your perfect sanre. You can play any snare chromatically and use your snares as other unique percussion elements, or even morph your snares into other snares over time with simple automation.
It’s still magic even if you know how it’s done.
