great free synth

The idea behind Padshop Pro is that sounds can be chopped into 'grains', the playback of which can be manipulated in various ways.

Padshop Pro utterly transforms samples, but it's not all about out-there sound design. The included string patches demonstrate that it can also be used to add subtle movement to otherwise static samples, while a grand piano sound is subjected to an echoing Eno-esque ambience. You can also import your own samples.

I hate the EDM riser, but nonetheless its a part of every song and this is how to do it. with the Waves Soundshifter.

Step Sequence Gating

A1TriggerGate is incredibly useful to breakUP repetative synth patterns with some elaborate gating techniques.

Very Cool Drum Machine

I like to load my own samples into this DMachine. then I use the controls to manipulate my sounds.

Exclusive DAW

Ableton has evolved so much in the past 7 years its been incredible to watch the transformation. I still haven't mastered this software and I am learning new ways to trick out sounds.

This synth has taken over

I write almost all my new tracks with this bad boy.
