_kick chemist is a kick drum designer for Ableton with a twist, with 127 kick samples to seamlessly blend beaters + bodies + tails, then reshape and saturate your concoction.
With 127 Subsocial kick drum samples, and over 2 million possible combinations of beater + body + tail, your kicks will literally never be the same again. By allowing you to blend the components of individual kick samples together into a new hybrid kick, you’ll have total control over a vast array of bass drum formulas as new catalysts for creativity. Go full indie normcore, or totally hardcore - the choice yours.
Use any of the 128 kick presets provided, or blend your own kick elements together. Feel free to add a little more shape and contour to your creation to distill things further. Add some custom drum drive we created in Ableton 12 Suite’s new saturator by blending your way through 6 Roar presets, going from doughy drive, to supersonic superabundance.
Take further control of this kick designer as an instrument with 12 simple device macro knobs to dial in your perfect kick. You can play any kick chromatically and use your kicks as other unique percussion elements, or even morph your kick into other kicks over time with simple automation.
Can you kick it? Yes you can.

_planet phatt is a total taste of the 90s for Ableton, with 18 instruments + 598 samples straight from the phattest rack mount instrument of all time.
Ahh, the 1990s, when endless sub-genres of music became cool. Eurodance, big beat, trip-hop, new jack swing, neo-soul, g-funk, happy hardcore, drum & bass, techno, trance - some are still with us today, while some are best forgotten. E-mu Systems’ Planet Phatt sound module was the epitome of the 90s aesthetic and technology. A synth with ROM samples was cool and cheap, and so was this phatt pink rack. Yes, it actually existed, and this was a real thing.
Cody Taylor of Fiend Recordings sampled 18 different patches, including all those classic 90s sampled “stabs” (yeah those ones), plus drums, bass, synths, and keys. After all the phattness was rendered, he ported them into 18 different Ableton instrument devices, and added a little extra phatt for phatt’s sake. The result? Old school phatt meets modern controls and effects.
Did we mention that Cody also made the rad demo song for this?
Feel free to use any of the 598 samples outside of the instruments. Try not to use every single one of the 61 “stabs” in the same song.
Cody is a super phatt producer, songwriter, and studio owner here in Vancouver. He’s also one of the nicest people we know. He probably smiles when he sleeps. Shouts out to Cody for making this collaboration so phatt.
This is the last use of the word, “phatt” in this product description.

_the shakes brings free infinite rhythmic + textural design to Ableton for sampled shakers and tambourines. Instant pattern gen + blend at your fingertips.
We always want some sort of extra percussive thing or texture to accent our beats, but making new rhythms from scratch and finding samples is a chore. What if we could just load up an instrument with a bunch of useful patterns that we could blend in parallel and be done with it? We set off and sampled our favourite studio shakers and tambourines, and brought them into Ableton Live for something s-s-special.
We used over 60 Max for Live devices in this pattern bending and blending power tool, then sprinkled on some cool effects, and 41 macro presets to show you the ropes. Automate the macros for pattern presets and FX for maximum shakiness.
From straight time to fake time, these are the shakes.
Note: This device uses 60+ Max for Live MIDI devices in just 1 Ableton Device so expect loading times to be long (Average is +/-1 min).
• 36 shaker and tambourine samples. (5MB)
• 20x3 different bendable percussion patterns (60 total).
• 1 Ableton 11.3+ Session.
• 1 Ableton Device with 41 effects + pattern presets.
• 96k/24bit .wav sources.
• 100% Royalty-Free.
• Designed in Vancouver, Canada by Subsocial Studios.
