The break. A fundamental piece to electronic inspired music since the 70s. The sound of the break was originally lifted from funk and soul records and served as the backbone to crafting and performing urban minded tunes. It’s all about the groove, the cleverly discovered sample, and the drum swings.
We love the break here at Irrupt, and wanted to give it some mad love in the form of ‘Beats For Da’ Street’, a unique product full of drum loops, one shots, percussive FX and steady head nodding grooves for discerning producers worldwide. Upon hearing this demo, you’ll notice the drums have a proper ‘live’ swing to them. The reason? We used a real human being.
Using the finest selection of drum kit from Pearl, Tama and Zildjian, our finest and funkiest session drummer has laid down what is bound to be a future classic in the world of breaks & beats. The rhythms have been meticulously recorded using only the finest Shure drum mics. Just like those classic breaks from the pioneers of turntablism, we’re keeping it real with real drumming. Upon opening ‘Beats For Da’ Streets,’ you’ll be treated to a lot of drums. Really fresh drums you’ve not heard elsewhere. We really went for it this time and crammed an incredible array of diverse drum loops for you to use in any way you desire. Use the breaks for urban inspired tunes, or tweak the BPM’s higher and add some clever drum loops to your up-tempo cuts. With this product, add some breaks, some beats and generate a tune that is 100% you.
If you’re looking for that “feel good” vibe, look no further. Filled with melodic construction kits and rich recordings of analog instruments and sounds from some of our favorite cities across the globe, we are proud to be able to share that Feel Good Sound with you. Genres: Funk Disco Nu Disco R&B Hip Hop House Electronica Deep House Tropical House Pop Reggae Caribbean.

Bill Kelliher is the guitarist for the Grammy Award-winning metal band, Mastodon. Bill’s sound has been heard the world over and thanks to the 3SA Artist Series, it’s now coming home to you. In April 2018, we flew out to meet with Bill at his private studio in Atlanta, GA., where he granted us exclusive access to his cab collection. We worked closely with Bill to make sure that each impulse captured the nuance and character of his signature tone. From classic to brutal, the Bill Kelliher Cab Collection has it all.
Inspired by Nature is a playful collection of visual Max for Live devices created in collaboration with Dillon Bastan. Produce generative soundscapes, unpredictable melodies and evolving modulations with devices inspired by physical forces and the natural world.
Vector devices
Inspired by Nature contains three vector devices – Vector FM, Vector Grain and Vector Delay. These devices feature a particle system where each particle is a visual representation of an individual voice. Watch as a particle’s movement is influenced by simulated forces of gravity and magnetism, or the particles are sent through a flow field, and hear the corresponding modulation of audio parameters.
Vector FM
Vector FM is an FM synthesizer, where each particle represents an Operator oscillator (or a pair, depending on settings). Add multiple voices and chain particles together in different formations to create complex bursts of swoop, wobble and warp sounds, or evolving sci-fi soundscapes.
Vector Grain
Vector Grain is a granular looper – here the particles represent grains of a sample being played. Map the directions to parameters such as start position, pitch, filter Hz, reverse and grain size to modulate the grain’s sound and change how it plays back.
Vector Delay
Vector Delay stands apart from the other vector devices in that it’s an audio effect, rather than an instrument. Each visualized particle in this multitap delay device represents a different delay line – experiment with different mapping combinations to create pitch shifting, detuning or reverse delay effects.
Playing with particles
Emit
Emit is a visual granular synthesizer that uses particles shooting across a spectrogram to show the grain of a sample being played, while vertical movements represent filtering and panning. Create more variables for your particles by adding walls for them to bounce off, and friction to slow them down. By using phase vocoder synthesis for playback, Emit allows particles to move across the sample at any speed without affecting pitch.
Bouncy Notes
Bouncy Notes is a gravity-based MIDI sequencer. When you play a MIDI Note a ball is dropped onto the corresponding note on the device’s piano roll, where it will then bounce in place, up or down, sending out a new MIDI note wherever it hits the piano roll. The piano roll can be set to the key of your production, and you can limit the range of notes used. Use it to create pitch shifting delay effects, unpredictable arpeggiation or evolving note sequences.
Into the trees
Tree Tone
Tree Tone makes a departure from particles, instead taking its inspiration from the fractal patterns of plants. Grow trees, where each branch represents a resonator with different frequency, decay, and amplitude values. The longer and thicker the branch, the lower, louder and more sustained the sound. Use the device’s internal noise generator to excite the resonators and create resonant ambiences or ethereal plucked tones. You can also use Tree Tone as a filterbank for your own audio, or run the output back into the device to create resonant feedback.

Creative Extensions, a collaborative effort between Ableton and Amazing Noises, comprises eight tools designed to enhance and expand the punch, color and texture achievable with Live. This collection includes new ways to pitch shift and sequence melodies and delays, creative and characterful studio processing, a device that creates ethereal, reverb-like spaces, and two revamped Max for Live synths.
MIDI Effects:
Melodic Steps
Melodic Steps is a fast and intuitive MIDI sequencer that creates evolving melodies with just a few clicks of the mouse. Use it to create quick melodic variation, polyrhythmic melodies or simply randomize your results. Its interface is designed for play, encouraging experimentation and new discoveries.
Audio Effects:
Pitch Hack
Pitch Hack is a one-stop device for various pitch-related effects. At its heart, Pitch Hack is a single delay line with transposition control in both semitones and cents. Besides pitching the incoming signal in real time, Pitch Hack can reverse the audio, randomize the transposition interval and fold the delayed signal back into the delay line.
Gated Delay
Gated Delay creates sequenced delay effects. A gate sequencer sends the incoming signal to a delay line on activated steps. This is like a send effect that is turned on and off in a defined rhythm in sync to the music.
Controls allow you to adjust the length and rate of the steps, as well as whether the dry signal is audible on deactivated steps, the ratio of the delay rate to the step rate, step randomization, feedback and more.
Color Limiter
Color Limiter offers another flavor of limiting inspired by the gritty sounds achievable with hardware limiters. Controls are provided for input level (Loudness), threshold (Ceiling), Lookahead, Release and the all-important Saturation and Color parameters that are the key to its characterful sound.
Re-Enveloper
Re-Enveloper is a multiband envelope processor. The input signal is first divided into three adjustable frequency bands. Unlike with compressors, it is the envelope of the signal can be compressed or expanded.
The C/E (Compression / Expansion) Factor knob provides detailed dynamics control. With positive values, the envelope is compressed. With negative values, the envelope is expanded.
Spectral Blur
Spectral Blur creates sounds and textures that are best described as reverb-like. A user-defined frequency range of a signal is blurred to create a dense cloud of sound. This device is great for sharp filtered effects with narrow bandwidths, or to spread your sound across the whole spectrum.
The Halo control adjusts the length of the blurred grains. The Residual control adjusts the level of the unprocessed signal. Lastly, The Freeze button holds the affected signal until the button is switched off.
Instruments:
Bass
A monophonic virtual analog synthesizer that provides the entire palette of bass sounds in one device – from classically deep and clean to heavily distorted, rumbling tones.
Poli
A virtual analog synth designed for playing classic polyphonic chords and phrases. Its vintage character comes from de-tunable oscillators, a powerful modulation section and a built-in chorus.
