I was sending sysex data to my Machinedrum the other day when suddenly it began blurting out the most digitally obscene sounds I have ever heard from it! I was a little offended and you might be too once you hear them. This is the stuff I love – when a piece of gear generates sounds that it could never create under its normal operating mode.

I took some time today to program a drum kit and then some Live Racks that cycle through various samples repeatedly while simultaneously jumping between sample offsets every 10ms or so creating interesting transients. Here’s a quick mp3 demo and a download link for the Live Pack. Enjoy!

This pack is now available as a free Puremagnetik download here.

Puremagnetik now has a soundset of custom Kamoni kits for Ableton Live 7. It’s a free download and can be found in the “Artist Kits” section at Puremagnetik.com

MidiNES Editor – MidiNES_Editor_Live.zip

The MidiNES is in fact a pretty cool little toy to have in the studio. This is an Ableton Live based editor I created for it a while back. For those of you that own these plastic bricks of eighties nostalgia, just load up the included session file and open midi tracks for channels 1-5.

Channel 1 – Pulse 1
Channel 2 – Pulse 2
Channel 3 – Triangle
Channel 4 – Noise
Channel 5 – PCM Samples
