_rubber band SSS081



_rubber band brings rubber love to Ableton in the form of a unique sampled bass instrument that's fun to tweak and play.


Check out this video walkthrough of what's inside here:


Sampling a rubber band in tune was harder than we thought. In order to capture very low frequencies and the micro dynamics, we had to get a very low noise microphone, very close to a rubber band that's stretched just enough, and then pluck it very carefully. Most of our time was spent getting just the right plucks to work together in one instrument.


We were surprised at how close it sounded to a real bass instrument. Creating an Ableton instrument that brought more versatility to the samples was a lot of fun. We wanted you to have a few real time controls that feel like you're messing around with an elastic band as you play it, but still be a solid bass instrument that delivers what's necessary.
