Terrence singles out Bouncy Notes, an instrument that drops a virtual ball every time you play a note and the note repeats with every bounce. The pack includes six new instruments and effects which are inspired by “natural and physical processes”. In his post, Terrence said that his favourite has been their new Inspired by Nature pack. They’ve also updated some of their existing devices like Chorus and Redux with more capabilities and potential. There’s a new hybrid reverb, a spectral resonator, glitching effects processor and more.

Now it’s finally here, those who haven’t been scrawling through every feature list and watching Ableton’s nearly 20 videos on the new additions might be wondering – what’s actually been added then? It’s been a long build-up, and we’ve been looking forward to all of it’s new features since we covered what was being introduced last November.
