SynthPad Tape Synth – Free Ableton Live Rack Released By AfroDJMac

By Tomislav Zlatic // Updated on July 8, 2012 News

AfroDJMac has released SynthPad Tape Synth, a free Ableton Live instrument created with SynthPad sounds which were recorded on tape.

This instrument came unexpectedly. I was recording music to my Tascam reel to reel machine with my friend SuperKid, and he performed one of his parts with the SynthPad app from Big Robot Studios. After bringing the tape tracks into Ableton Live, I sampled a single note he played and created this instrument from it.

SynthPad Tape Synth is available for free download via AfroDJMac. To check out the rest of ADM’s freebie Ableton Live rack series, click here.

If you fancy tape processed sounds, take a look at ADM’s Super Tape Drums instrument for Ableton Live (this is a commercial product, priced at $7.99).
