Motions is a collection of 50 lo-fi ambient patches for Ableton Live, designed for producers and musicians working in ambient music, soundtracks, or looking to add unique textures to various genres. The pack is built around 128 carefully recorded samples from cassette loops, granular synth devices, and guitar pedals, combined with custom-built effect chains to create a range of distinctive instruments.

As the name Motions implies, these patches focus on dynamic movement and evolving textures, offering dense lo-fi soundscapes that are expressive and playable. The sounds in Motions are built from a variety of recorded sources, including guitar loops, cassette loops, notes from a Moog Matriarch, and modulated Eurorack phrases.

These samples were looped and stretched across the keyboard, so playing wide, spread-out chords results in a layering effect, with the same sample playing back at different rates, creating rich and evolving textures.

Motions also includes Random Generator patches that use Ableton’s random LFO device with the arpeggiator device to create generative-style presets. This allows users to play a chord and generate evolving, randomized arpeggios, as heard in the Nylon Arp demo below.

Each of the 50 presets includes between two and five Macro Variations, allowing you to load variations of each patch via the Macro Variation list on the left side of the Instrument Rack.

The Instrument Racks also include custom Ableton effects racks such as a tape emulator, a pitch-shifting quad delay and a shimmer reverb. These effects add an ethereal character to the lo-fi samples, whilst being fully flexible to adjust to your own taste.
