Ableton Bass Instruments, £14.90, is the latest in the Magic Racks series and focusses on one of the key components of electronic music production: bass.

Using Ableton's powerful Analog and Operator synths alongside custom-built FX chains, Ableton Bass Instruments serves up 10 intuitive and versatile bass instruments modelled on the most iconic bass sounds in electronic music.

From the distinctive acid of the TB-303 to the bouncing subs of the TR-808, the complex Moog Voyager and Korg MS-20 to old school Reeses and vintage FM swells, this diverse pack offers instant pan-genre bass inspiration that can be jammed, tweaked and automated in almost endless permutations to fit any track.

But you also won't be overwhelmed by options; just eight macros per rack giving you the finely-honed controls for the most important aspects of each bass sound. From common workflow tools to complex signal chains containing saturation, reverb, delays and more, each one is controlled via a single macro knob to make powerful sound-shaping simple and incisive.
