Ableton has announced the release of Texture Beats, an electronic drum sound library by Alexander Lewis (Sasha) for Flatpack.

Texture Beats by Flatpack is a brand new Instrument for Ableton Live that provides dynamic and nuanced electronic drum sounds and analog textures.

Designed to let you take creative advantage of the Drum Rack format, Texture Beats features a set of Macro controls for blending in textures and customizing the sound of both the whole kit and individual drums. All samples respond musically to velocity and note length in a way that will bring your beats to life.

The library is available to purchase for $59 USD.

Ableton has also introduced DM ARP 2600 Drums, a free sound pack by Daniel Miller.

Legendary Mute Records founder and electronic music emissary Daniel Miller has enriched the Ableton Library with a free Live Pack full of punchy, retro-futuristic percussion sounds sampled from his own (equally legendary) ARP 2600 synthesizer.

DM ARP 2600 Drums comes in the form of 8 Drum Racks and includes 150 unique sounds. As in Texture Beats by Flatpack, this Live Pack provides Macro controls to quickly and intuitively alter the overall sound of whole kits and individual sounds as well as effects and presets.

The DM ARP 2600 Drums pack is a free download for registered Ableton users.

Oleg Mikheev aka GrayWolf has announced BlueArp, a MIDI arpeggiator plug-in for Windows.

The BlueArp MIDI arp / step sequencer plug-in designed for use in electronic music.

BlueArp is to be used as a VST instrument, but it doesn’t generate any sound itself, it generated MIDI messages, so it should be connected to another synth, hardware of software.

To connect it to another VST Synth, set BlueArp’s MIDI output port to the same number as the VST Synth’s MIDI input port (use any port not occupied by real MIDI equipment).

BlueArp will work only when the sequencer is running (PLAY pressed). When stopped, it will only pass the notes thru.

The BlueArp beta for Windows (VST) is available to download at no cost.

MassiveSynth.com has introduced the Morph – Arps, Mods & Sequences soundset for the Massive software synthesizer by Native Instruments.

When writing music and creating quality sounds in your synth it can be hard not to fall into the vortex of making repetitious, monotonous and stagnant noise. How can you avoid this?

Adding evolution to your sounds using modulation is perhaps the best place to start.

Morph – Arps, Mods & Sequences For NI Massive is unlike most Massive preset bundles.

Rather than focus on a specific genre, the brief for these sounds was to create a collection of tools producers can build upon.

With this in mind we have painstakingly put together 50 NI Massive presets for you to either use out of the box or build your own sounds on top off to take advantage of evolving and rhythmic patterns.

Morph – Arps, Mods & Sequences features

• 10 Arps
• 10 Bass patterns
• 5 Morphing Pluck
• 15 Evolving pads
• 10 Sequences

The soundset is available to purchase for $17 USD.

The Bob Moog Foundation and macProVideo have joined forces to create “Foundation of Synthesis”, a series of six new audio synthesis courses for music producers, taking viewers step-by-step through the process of synthesis using a collection of synthesizers including ARP, Yamaha and, of course, Moog.

The Bob Moog Foundation (BMF) honors the legacy of its namesake pioneer through igniting creativity at the intersection of music, science, history, and innovation. With education at the core of its mission, the Foundation found a synergistic partner in macProVideo.com, an online education community whose core commitments parallel those of the Foundation.

Says Michelle Moog-Koussa, the Foundation’s director and daughter of Bob Moog, “This partnership with macProVideo allows us to educate tens of thousands of curious sonic explorers via macProVideo’s vast subscriber base. Through this series of comprehensive online synthesis courses, totaling over seven hours of information, Marc Doty brings the very essence of Bob’s technical legacy to light with a clarity and ease of understanding that is rare to the genre.”

According to Steve Horelick, a master synthesist in his own right and the composer that scored every episode of PBS’s “Reading Rainbow” television show, “as Publisher for macProVideo.com and AskVideo.com it is an honor to be working hand-in-hand with the Bob Moog Foundation and their resident synthesist guru, Marc Doty, to bring this informative series on analog synthesis to our members.”

The launch of the courses coincides with the 6th anniversary of the Bob Moog Foundation and the Foundation’s “Can you feel the Moogmentum?” campaign highlighting its achievements and future goals. Moogmentum is sweeping across North America, building up to Moogfest 2012 in Asheville, North Carolina, featuring Orbital, Richie Hawkin, Mike Snow, Santigold, Thomas Dolby, Squarepusher, and many more A-list artists.

The HD video tutorials are available to purchase for $19.50 USD each, or as part of a subscription, priced at $25 USD/month.
