Chromatics Remake Projects

This pack contains the three Ableton Live Projects featured in my Chromatics Synth Sounds article, which are complete remakes of the songs Faded Now, Shadow and Toy.

For these remakes I mainly relied on Arturia Mini V3 and Xfer Serum, with the former used for the vintage monophonic leads and basses and the latter used for some more modern sounds. I also used Korg Polysix plugin for the bass plucks in the Toy remake and AAS Lounge Lizard for the Rhodes electric piano sound in Shadow. If you don’t have any of these plugin, all instrument tracks are frozen so you can still use the project even without all the plugins.
