Waveformer is a multi purpose synthesizer sounds library designed by MESA+ sound-engineers for Ableton Live 7.
Waveformer is based on wavetables formed by 66 waveforms that act as oscillators for Ableton Simpler. Each waveform has been carefully designed in order to avoid unwanted aliasing-noise and multisampled across the keyboard range to improve sound fidelity.
The presets have been developed and processed using Ableton Sampler's FM and Waveshaper features, then converted for Ableton Simpler in order to extend accessibility by all Ableton Live 7 versions (LE included). Waveformer is composed by 270 Ableton-Instrument-Racks presets all organized with macro knobs for instant sound tweaking. Waveformer includes 271 Simpler presets, 4 Drum Rack presets and 212 Ableton Clips.
Specifications :
• Wavetables Synth for Ableton Live
• 66 PCM Waveforms
• 270 Ableton Instrument Racks
• 271 Ableton Simpler Presets
• 4 Ableton Drum Rack Kits
• 212 Ableton Clips
• 1652 Wav 32bit/48KHz
Waveformer is available now as a download only product for €25. Note that a free reduced version Waveformer is also available for download. It is based on only 10 waveform and it contains 40 Ableton Instrument Rack presets.
