[Ableton] Emulating 808 Bass Drum with MaxForLive Device

The device is named AnalogKick 1.0 and was done by Peter McCulloch.

Description:

The author says: “AnalogKick is a bass drum synth based on the design of the TR-808’s bass drum, and is capable of producing sounds quite similar to the original.”

In contrast to the original 808 the emulation adds some nice-to-have’s:

  • FM and distortion, as
  • change the tuning curve of the oscillator envelope to adjust the snappiness of the attack.
  • key-following, to use it as a percussive synth with FM.
