25 INSTRUMENT & EFFECT RACKS

The sounds are only the beginning. Oldschool Techno Grooves includes 25 custom-built Ableton Live Instrument & Effect Racks designed to give you additional tools for sound creation, processing, mixing and creative experimentation.

The collection covers a wide range of production tasks. From bass instruments, synths, kicks & rumble, drums and hi-hats to tribal processing, vocal chopping, risers, wash out effects, lowend control and master processing. Instead of simply giving you another folder of samples, these racks let you create, manipulate and reshape sounds directly inside Ableton Live.

For bass and synth work, you’ll find dedicated racks such as Robot Interests, Sawome, Up Front Sub, Horrordrone, Factory Work, Lead And Leave and Techno Friends. Use them as starting points for new basslines, drones, leads and repetitive synth elements, then tweak and automate them to fit your own production.

The drum section includes tools such as Firm And Simple Techno Rumble, Big And Dirty Techno Kicks, Time To Fly, Clappy Clap, Hi Hat One, Ready For Energy and the Full Fat Drums Rack. Together with the dedicated Tribal Drums Rack and Tribal Loop Hypno, these tools are built to help you create and process the heavy, rolling and percussive grooves at the heart of the oldschool techno sound.

For transitions, movement and sound design, racks like Riser Sirens, Synth Riser, Sub Drop, Wonderfects (Generative), Wash Out 1 and Wash Out 2 provide quick ways to create tension, transitions and evolving effects without interrupting your workflow. The included Vox Chop Rack adds another creative option for transforming vocal material into rhythmic elements.

We’ve also included practical processing tools such as Low End Clean Up and Safe Double Limiter For Master, giving you useful options for controlling the low end and handling your final signal directly within Ableton Live.

Load a rack, start turning controls, automate parameters, feed it your own material and take it somewhere completely different. Combined with the hundreds of included samples and Ableton projects, the 25 racks turn Oldschool Techno Grooves from a sample library into a much deeper production toolkit.

OLDSCHOOL TECHNO SAMPLES INSPIRED BY THE RAW SOUND OF THE EARLY 2000's

Oldschool Techno Grooves is a massive collection of oldschool techno samples inspired by the raw, driving and uncompromising techno sound of the early 2000s. Think pounding drums, rolling percussion, hypnotic sequences, tribal grooves and relentless rhythms influenced by the era and the sound associated with legendary techno acts such as Chris Liebing, Speedy J, Andre Walter, Glenn Wilson and many more. This pack brings that unmistakable oldschool energy into today’s studio while giving you all the tools you need for a fast and creative modern production workflow.

At the heart of the collection are more than 300 drum and percussion loops covering everything from pounding kick loops and rolling percussion to groove loops, top loops and tribal rhythms. These sounds are built around movement and repetition — the fundamental elements that made early 2000s techno so effective on the dancefloor. Use them as complete grooves, layer multiple loops together or chop them into completely new rhythmic patterns.

But Oldschool Techno Grooves goes far beyond drums. The pack also contains more than 300 synth and sound files, including raw lead loops, driving bass loops, chord loops, hypnotic sequences, vocal loops and additional sound-design elements. From repetitive synth patterns that slowly evolve throughout an arrangement to aggressive basslines and stripped-down melodic elements, these sounds capture the functional and hypnotic approach that defined an entire era of techno production.

For producers who prefer to build their grooves completely from scratch, you’ll also find more than 250 drum and percussion one-shots. Create your own drum kits, program completely new rhythms, reinforce existing loops or combine the one-shots with your own sounds. They give you the raw ingredients of the pack without locking you into predefined patterns.

And this collection isn’t just about samples. Included are 6 full Ableton Live song projects, allowing you to dive directly into complete productions and explore how the individual elements work together. Study the arrangements, grooves, processing, sound design and production techniques or simply use the projects as inspiration for developing your own workflow.

You’ll also get 5 Ableton Live Song Starter Projects built to eliminate the empty-project problem. Each starter provides an established groove, sound palette and creative direction while leaving enough room for you to transform the initial idea into something completely your own.

To take the creative possibilities even further, Oldschool Techno Grooves includes 25 custom Ableton Live Instrument & Effect Racks. Use them to create new sounds, reshape samples, process drums and synths or inject raw character into your own material. Load a rack, tweak the controls and push the sound in whatever direction your production needs.

Oldschool Techno Grooves combines the attitude of early 2000s techno with the flexibility of a modern production toolkit. Whether you’re searching for oldschool techno samples, raw techno drum loops, tribal percussion, hypnotic synth sequences or complete Ableton Live projects to study and rebuild, this collection gives you a huge arsenal of sounds and creative tools to work with.

Raw drums, hypnotic repetition, relentless grooves and the unmistakable energy of oldschool techno.
