909 Rumble Rack For Ableton

Here’s an Ableton Rack for making a techno rumble sub bass from a Roland 909 kick drum. I’ve used this rack for lots of my sample packs. With a techno rumble, you want the kick and rumble to cut through and for them to sound like their from the same source, so the rumble could almost be an echo in a loud warehouse, but at the same time it has to be a well-EQ’d sub bass.

This rack which is specifically tuned for use on 909 kick drum, which I’ve used for processing some of my own samples. It processes a kick drum with delay, reverb and various distortions into a pumping sub bass. It’s made as a follow up Ableton Rack to the 909 sample pack I released. I gave this to the great Bedroom Producers Blog to give away for free. It includes a Rumble Kick Ableton Rack, which is one of the racks that I used to make the 909 pack, with macros mapped for tweaking the rumble settings.

What’s in the Techno Rumble Rack?

This Ableton rack does both reverb rumble and delay rumble. I like to do them both together.
It has a delay unit to add a pumping rhythmic low end, synched to the beat. Then a reverb for a reverb rumble effect, and you can also use it to smear the delay a bit so you get both a pumping delay and reverb rumble effect.

Then there’s a low pass filter that filters the sound down low, boosts it with resonance and adds drive for some distortion.

Then there’s an EQ to boost the bass, then 2 different distortion units: a Saturator and an Overdrive unit.

A compressor to sidechain the kick and rumble to keep the rumble ducking when the kick comes in for a cleaner mix and more pumping sub bass.

Then finally another low pass filter and EQ.

The Macro Controls allow you to control Reverb Decay, Filter Drive, OverDrive, and a Bass Boost EQ.
