Imagine having instant access to the most visionary library of drum sounds and sound design tools ever created. Imagine being able to intuitively layer, browse and manipulate each drum layer independently with powerful Drum Rack Macro Controls and Push. Imagine a new way to create…

Live Racks Evolved…

Drumvolution for Live is a custom built, deeply produced Live Pack (with Push integration), powered by a ground-breaking, unique library of 28,000+ electronic drums and sound design tools; delivered directly to your DAW inside a powerful Ableton Live environment with hands on control over powerful sound design Macros.

Drumvolution for Live’s focus is not emulation - It’s about creating new, visionary drum sounds. It’s drum programming evolved...

Forward-thinking sound library

Drumvolution for Live combines beautifully designed analogue / electronic drums and acoustic instruments in a ground-breaking new way. A labour of love with an astonishing level of detail, Drumvolution for Live’s sound library is our biggest achievement to date, spanning 5 years and thousands of hours of sound design.

The sound content that powers Drumvolution for Live was designed, layered and imagined from the ground up using a collection of impressive sources; sought-after modern / vintage analogue drum machines, powerful modular synths, world-class live rooms and acoustic instruments, sound design layering tools, transients, found sound, processed Foley, prepared percussion, re-amped drums, tape machines, intricately layered abstract sounds, and much more…

All captured by mastering-grade conversion via impressive analogue signal chains.

Drumvolution vs Revolution

Drumvolution for Live is a completely different beast to our previously released Revolution for Live product. Unlike Revolution, Drumvolution doesn’t emulate any drum machine/s - nor does it focus on vintage drum machine sounds. Drumvolution’s focus is solely towards forward-thinking, modern drum production.

To achieve this, we intricately designed and recorded thousands of sound sources (see sound sources above). We then took these source sounds and fine-tuned them further – intricately layering them together to create new, never been heard before sounds – along with passing them through lush analogue signal chains. These sounds form the backbone of Drumvolution for Live’s sound library.

Drumvolution shares no sounds with Revolution – the sound content is unique and different in both products.

Build your dream Drum Rack in Live

Drag and Drop any of Drumvolution for Live’s 90 ‘Drum Bank’ Modules into your Live Rack to build your own modular dream Drum Racks.

Each Drum Bank Module is organized by drum type, with a wealth of Drum Macro controls for real-time sample browsing, true analogue tape saturation, slop, tune, volume, random pan, drive and velocity.

Furthermore, each Drum Bank Module boasts a powerful set of drum layering samples and parameters. Creatively layer up to 3 Drum Sounds, Transients, and Drum Layering Tools independently per Module using Drumvolution for Live’s powerful Drum Layering Rack.

Additionally, browse hundreds of MIDI drum patterns to quickly spark your inspiration.

Seamless integration

Drumvolution for Live integrates seamlessly with Ableton Live (Live 9 and Live 10 are both supported), delivering endless inspiration and a compelling workflow to spark creativity. Easily automate, mangle or build complex grooves using Live’s sequencer or Push.

Not an Ableton Live user? No sweat! You’ll still have access to all the raw WAV samples from Drumvolution (28,000 of them) when purchasing this product. All of which have been carefully organized by drum type and character, perfectly trimmed by hand and ready to use with any DAW or sampler of your choice!

Adding Character…

Take things further with TRUE analogue tape machine saturation! All Drums in Drumvolution for Live have additionally been recorded to analogue tape at 3 saturation levels (via a Studer A800 tape machine). Drum Rack Macros (and Push) allow you to easily dial in your desired ‘Tape’ saturation level per drum sound. Choose between Clean (no tape), Tape 1 (subtle tape compression), Tape 2 (warm tape saturation) and Tape 3 (heavy tape saturation!).
