_perfect storm SSS125



    _perfect storm is a free Ableton Max for Live device that effortlessly and naturally generates a perfect immersive binaural storm experience.


    This binaural thunderstorm generator is built on our own library of ambisonic field recordings from around the globe. With a variety of storm layers and loops, we designed a Max for Live instrument that seamlessly generates realistic rain and storms with different energies and natural sounding changes over time. You can control the storm yourself, automate it over time, and modulate its controls, but it will still behave erratically enough to remain as natural as possible. Sometimes you might even hear some birds, or the backdrop of rain hitting leaves in the jungle.


    • Create an endless realistic sounding storm that lasts as long as you want. 

    • Use MIDI and automation to plan and shape your storm over time.

    • Design scenes or sequences with rain and thunder that evolves over time. 

    • Use as a backdrop, intro, outro, or texture anywhere you need it in your music productions.

    • Just turn it on and chill if you like.

    • Create your own meditation app?


    This is the first in our series of generate Spatial Audio devices. We hope you enjoy your new storms.


    Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...It's about learning to dance in the rain.
