Sound Character and Included Content

The collection focuses on ambient and cinematic textures rather than conventional loops. The Ableton Live version includes 14 projects, 23 instrument racks, 15 drum racks and 240 samples at 24-bit/44.1 kHz. The Maschine version includes 14 projects, 240 samples at the same resolution and 15 groups.

The developer names Loscil, Brock Van Wey (bvdub), Thomas Newman, 36, Lustmord and ASC as artists who inspired the sound palette. Niche Audio says all content is royalty free.

Workflow in Maschine and Ableton Live

In Maschine, the projects are organized into groups you can play with the pads. In Ableton Live, you can trigger the instrument and drum racks from any standard MIDI controller.

Both hosts let you tweak and edit the included projects to suit your own material. The developer notes that the projects can also be used to trigger sounds in real time alongside video.
