Blip Drums has announced the release of Magenta, a new Ableton Livepack Drum Machine for Live.
Magenta is described as "a powerful fusion of Blip Drums' electronic drum library and Ableton instruments and effects". Within Magenta is over 1000 original electronic drum samples contained within 16 drum pads. All samples are instantly available via unique "sample selector" knobs. This allows the freedom to explore drum sounds during play back without the hassle of loading external samples. In addition, automation of the sample selector knobs allows musicians to "explore a whole new world of rhythm programming".
Each of the 16 drum pads has its own set of 8 specifically designed sound shaping performance knobs giving the musician instant access to over 128 knobs that tweak every aspect of each drum sample. This moves Magenta away from simply being a drum play back sampler to a powerfully effective drum synthesizer.
Ableton Live Suite 8.1 plus its Impulse, Operator and Sampler instruments are required.
The price is $39.99.
