Ableton Wavetable Presets

Overview
Ableton Live 10 saw a brand new Ableton-native synth, called Wavetable, which allows

for deep control and great sound. Wavetable allows the stretching, shaping and

morphing of wavetable sound into a huge range of sounds. This preset pack contains

120 custom synth sounds for Ableton Wavetable, ranging from classic workhorse synth
sounds, to strange, evolving soundscapes to inspire new pieces.

Wavetable contains an inspiring number of wavetable oscillators, from bizarre noises

to oscillators straight from classic synths. It’s powerful matrix modulation means it’s
possible to create deep patches with multiple rhythms and harmonies in a single patch.

For this preset pack, I concentrated on two areas; classic synth sounds and weird,

modulated soundscapes. Every preset is set up so that expression controls such as the

modulation wheel and aftertouch dramatically change the sound, leading to even more

sonic possibilities.

Installation
The Wavetable Presets automatically install into your Ableton Live Packs Section.

1. Move the Ableton Wavetable Presets into a custom sounds folder somewhere on

your hard drive where it won’t get deleted or moved.

2. In Ableton Live, drag the entire Ableton Wavetable Presets folder into the “Places”

section of Ableton Live’s browser.

3. It will then show up in Live’s “Packs” section, and the individual presets can be found

in the Instrument browser under Wavetable.

For easy organisation, all the Reverb Machine Wavetable Presets have been prepended

with ‘RM’, for example RM Juno-6 Brass. All the presets have notes that can be seen in

Live’s Info View, so you can see exactly what the mod-wheel and aftertouch controls

are set to do. Some of the rhythmic patches are synced to Live’s tempo, so can

product different results based on the song. Some of the presets have audio effects

programmed in, these can be adjusted or turned off if you prefer to use your own effect

settings.
