Ableton just released a killer bundle of new synths with their latest Max 4 Live Essentials Collection. This bundle is free for anyone who owns Live 9 Suite or has purchased Max 4 Live so hop on that upgrade if you havent already. First up: Bass! A monophonic analog modeled bass monster - which were going to put through its paces in this video. Second: Poli! As you may have guessed a polyphonic virtual analog synth with de-tunable oscillators. And last but not least: Multi! Which they cryptically call a Multimode synthesizer and it does a lot of fascinating unconventional and random things. I really like this instrument. Its an extremely user friendly fat sounding subtractive synth. It does one thing and it does it well. Bass! Its monophonic so it only plays one note at a time and if you overlap notes the new note will steal the spotlight and kill the previous note. You actually have five oscillators packed into this little monster! Well six if you count the LFO. Instead of having a single oscillator with different waveforms each oscillator is locked to a different waveform. You have a sine sawtooth square and triangle. The square and triangle both have pulsewidth control which I decided to Macro. Check that out. Theres also a Sub Oscillator which is a sine wave tuned an octave below the other oscillators. It also has two convenient controls: Tone and Thru. Tone controls how much distortion is applied to the sub oscillator and Thru allows the sub to bypass the filter section. Really handy for when youre doing heavily filtered basses and you still want a rock solid sub. Its similar to Serums direct out function or Razors safe bass. Lastly we have a parameter called Analog which adds a touch of pitch drift similar to vintage analog synths. Download this synth patch rack: Watch free bass sound design tutorials for Blitz Bass: ,
