AfroDJMac has posted the 70th free Ableton Live Pack, the Rusty Fender Rhodes.
The Fender Rhodes is one of the most well known electric keyboards of all time. Unfortunately adding one to your collection will set you back a pretty penny. What’s more is that lugging one around to the gig is another nuisance many of us would rather do without. Luckily I have the solution for you, the AfroDJMac Rusty Fender Rhodes Ableton Live Pack!
This free Ableton Live pack will get you that classic Fender Rhodes sound conveniently inside your laptop computer.
The sound library for Ableton Live is a free download at AfroDJMac.
Take 6 iconic vintage synthesizers, carefully restore them, create a massive array of presets and deeply multi-sample them, professionally process and master the sounds, infuse them into the industry proven UVI Engine–giving you endless sound shaping options, then wrap the results in immaculately prepared GUIs and you’ve got UVI Vintage Legends; 6 brand-new soft synths with the brilliant depth and character of classic hardware.
Instantly call up inspiration from the Yamaha CS-70M, CS-40M and CS-20M, the crazy Italian Elka Synthex, the Rhodes Chroma, the king of FM—the Yamaha DX1, the rare DK Synergy, and rediscover the classic K250.
The Iconic Synth Collection is available for the introductory price of $299 USD (regular $349 USD). Individual synth libraries are $99 USD each.
We’ve only gone and locked a talented bunch of ivory tinklers going by name The Breaks Collective in a soundproof room located in a secret studio somewhere in Deepest Darkest Devon in the UK.
Armed to the teeth with a jaw dropping collection of vintage and classic Keyboards and Pianos the boys set to work, pausing only to receive the occasional chocolate treat we pushed under door. The Riffs came thick and fast , all we had to do was hit record, the end result is an expressive one stop shop of Classic Vintage Keys Loops and Phrases, NICE!
Expect to find Instrument Loops such as Rhodes, Clav, Hammond and Piano all performed live by passionate performers with bundles of groove and soul suitable for many styles and genres including House, Electro, Hip Hop, Funk, TV and film compositions and anyone looking to add a ‘Real Keys feel’ to their Mixes.
