5Pin Media DAWcentrix 03 Ableton Operator Refractions ALS ADG MIDI

5Pin Media reboot their Dawcentrix series with a versatile and dynamic set of Ableton Operator presets covering a wide pallet of sounds.

Ableton Operator Refractions is designed to provide Live 10 Suite users with an inspirational set of presets for a wide range of electronic styles from Tribal Tech, Minimal Tech, Minimal House to Electronic Downtempo inspired by artists such as Minilogue, Efdemin, Plastikman, Daniel Avery, Extrawelt and Kollektiv Turmstrasse amongst others.

For the record there are No Loops nor One-Shot samples in this pack – only Presets and MIDI. All that you hear in the demo, including drums and percussion, is included in the presets. PLEASE NOTE YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE ABLETON LIVE 10 SUITE with MAX FOR LIVE ESSENTIALS installed to use this product fully. This is because we have used Max for Live’s LFO Control Device and Convolution Reverb Audio Effect for a few of the presets.

Refractions features 150 Ableton Operator Instrument Racks with Macro Control for manipulating sounds and hands on automation. For a more detailed breakdown of the presets see the “Tech Specs” below. As a bonus we have included the full Live Arrangements for both demos for you to plunder as well as 3 Jam Sessions that could provide the beginnings of a track.

5Pin Media’s preset collections are constructed to provide maximum flexibility and control, whilst pushing new boundaries to spark your creativity.

All preset content is 100% royalty free.

Key Features:

  • Macro controlled for easy manipulation of sounds
  • MIDI clips corresponding to presets included for auditioning
  • Use of Echo effect as a “resonator” to create some unique sounds
  • Use of Max for Live’s LFO as a modulation source on some presets
  • Use of MIDI note velocity as a modulator on many presets for an expressive and dynamic sound

JUPITER-8 Synthwave v1.0.0 EXPANION

JUPITER-8 Synthwave v1.0.0 EXPANION

In the mid-2000s, hidden beneath the internet’s unturned stones, nostalgia began to find itself eking into the present. Standing on the shoulders of French artists like Justice, Kavinsky, and College as well as the fantastical world of video game music, online communities of musicians and sonic wizards began fostering a crossover sound.

Running on the Edge of a Blade
Synthwave conjures images of digital landscapes and retrofuturism. The aesthetics of the genre are drawn from both electro and the ineffable energy of the ‘80s. At the same time, the heart of the sound remains steeped in house and EDM styles.

Roland Cloud proudly presents our Synthwave collection! These 256 patches for the JUNO-106, SYSTEM-8, JX-3P, and JUPITER-8 are the tools you need to create immaculate synthwave architecture. These dramatic saw waves, pulsing basses, and twinkling arps will help your compositions bloom into dreamscapes of paradise and illusion.

Roland hardware synths were critical to establishing the sonic reverie of the 1980s. Use our ACB recreations of these revolutionary instruments to saturate your tracks with bold and beautiful temperatures and create a reality all your own.
