Sonic Faction has published 2 new Max for Live tutorial videos featuring The Sickness Step Sequencer for APC40 and Launchpad.
The Sickness Step Sequencer comes with purchase of The Sickness, a new synth for Ableton Live. This device turns your APC40 or Launchpad into a hands-on, command center for The Sickness.
Sonic Faction has introduced The Beatdown & The Beatdown Step Sequencer for the Akai APC40 and Ableton Live.
This custom device comes with the Beatdown library and lets you program beats and note velocities,while saving and recalling patterns in realtime. It also features realtime looping, FX and groove manipulation for killer live performances.
Steve at Sonic Faction sent word about The Beatdown, a new drum machine for Ableton Live:
We crafted The Beatdown from the ground up, giving users superior sound quality and unprecedented control. We started by sampling the Elektron Machine Drum and rebuilding it inside of Ableton, staying true to the instrument?s unique design. Inspired by the flexibility of our new instrument, we then added 6 additional drum kits that cover all of the most popular dance music genres. It?s styles range from Analog Hip Hop madness, to fresh House beats, to viscous Dubstep wobbles and Experimental glitches. The result is a slamming drum machine that will have you dropping next level beats instantly.
Sonic Faction has introduced The Hatchet, a new virtual analog instrument for Ableton Live.
At the Hatchet?s core is the legendary Arp Axxe synthesizer which has been multi-sampled and re-programmed in Live.
Here’s what they have to say about The Hatchet:
The Hatchet is “a truly rich and warm sounding analog instrument that will take you back to the days of retro-synth bliss. On the surface, this synth is capable of blistering leads, smooth solos, wicked bass lines and cascading arpeggios – The Hatchet stays true to the original instrument?s parameters and capabilities.
But dig deeper and you will find a flexible and ever-changing wonder-synth that is full of sonic surprises. Sonic Faction has upped the ante by adding a whole rack of distortion FX as well as reverb, delay, psuedo-side chaining, resonator and more.”
The Hatchet also comes with a custom made step sequencer for the Novation Launchpad.
Sonic Faction is offering a 10% discount code, through the end of April, on The Hatchet, and all their instruments. Use discount code: 04synthtopia.
The guys at Sonic Faction send word of a new instrument that they’ve released for Ableton Live, the EvilFish 303:
Sonic Faction meticulously sampled the Devil Fish 303 and added their own tweaks and mods to it. The result is a pure, raw-sounding, viscous, analog beast! Plus, this is one of the first Ableton Instruments to come with its own custom Max for Live patch for fully integrated control and step sequencing on a Novation Launchpad.
Features:
EvilFish 303 is available for $19.99 at the Sonic Faction website. It includes the free Max for Live patch.
