The Covert Operators

Covert Drones is a collection of 60 sounds that were sampled from our Modular Rig. Most samples are a droning sound that slightly varies over time. Some of these samples are several minutes long and have been processed to loop infinitely.

The samples are useful to create a wide variety of sounds ranging from roaring basses to ever evolving pads.
If you enjoy making drones and pads, this 2 gigabytes collection of waveforms will be a nice addition to your arsenal of raw sounds.
A Simpler preset for each sample is included with tuning adjustments where needed, so you can start designing your own sounds immediately.

This is a free MIDI Delay plugin for Max For Live. It features a simple note delay, a pass-trough and an option to sync it to tempo based values.

It can be downloaded from the MaxForLive.com database.

The Covert Operators bring gifts!

Covert Kits Metal is a free collection of 36 samples created with the Collision, Corpus, Tension and Operator instruments. The samples are very useful for when you want to add some sounds with a metallic ring to your drum kits.

We also added 5 Drum Racks with 16 sounds each to give some nice examples of how these sounds can be abused. And since the Impulse instrument hasn't seen a lot of love lately, we also added 10 Dry Impulse Kits.

The Covert Operators are not responsible for cuts and bruises endured by handling these sounds.

This is the first of an expanding free collection of Ableton Meta Sound files.
If you don't know what these files are, they are covered in great detail in our articles on AMS files. But to save you some time: AMS files are short Waveforms that can be created as text files manually or with the Operator which can then be loaded into Sampler or Simpler as samples.

In the coming weeks we will have a few articles about subjects like Aliasing and some tips on how to turn these lifeless Waveforms into useful sounds.
And there will also be a lot more Waveforms to play with. If you created any interesting AMS files that you would like to share with the world, feel free to send it to us or post it as a reply.

The first pack contains 4 Waveforms which are available at 128 different note frequencies. Each file for a waveform has slightly different harmonics.
We also included a few Simpler presets which you may find unpleasant sounding when played in higher tones. That nasty sound you hear is Aliasing and the presets are examples for the upcoming article on the subject.

Live 8.1 is a minimum requirement. The Waveforms can be loaded into Simpler, Sampler and Operator.
