Ambient Atelier 1.1 Update

• REWORKED Performance FX Rack 2.0

ADDED & REWORKED

Filter (reworked)

• Replaced DJ style filter with a low pass, ladder style filter for smooth low pass of the entire signal. The filter can be morphed with the morph control (see below) for a bandpass filter at 50% setting and a high pass filter at 100% (or anything in between using % values in between)
• The filter sits at the beginning of the signal chain and affects both the dry and the wet signal path – this way it can be used to fully cut all frequencies before going into the other FX
• Added Filter resonance control to the macros
• Added Filter morph control to the macros
• Added Filter LFO amount control to the macros
• Added Filter LFO rate control to the macros

Phaser-Flanger (new)

• Added Phaser effect for slow moving, phasing of the whole wet signal path
• The Phaser effect sits at the beginning of the wet signal path so the posed signal runs through Echo, Grain Delay and Reverb, which can create some interesting results
• Added Phaser Dry/Wet control to the macros, to determine how much phasing is added to the signal. At 0%, no phasing is applied at all
• Added Phaser Frequency (Freq) control, to determine the speed of the phasing
• Added Phaser Feedback control – the more feedback, the more prominent the phasing becomes. At 90-99%, the phaser starts to oscillate and creates some nice, whale like sounds. This effect can be heard in the snapshot „No Lows Sweep“

Echo (reworked)

• The LP Filter on Echo is now wider so that the echo affects more frequencies
• Echo behavior changed from „synced“ to „dotted“ for more interesting results
• Removed 2 separate Echo time controls to make space for new macros. Both echo times for the left and right channel are now controlled by one knob (Echo Time)

Snapshots (reworked & new)

• Based on the new & reworked effects, all 6 existing snapshots have been reworked
• 4 new snapshots have been added: „Slow Morph“, „Hellicopter“, „No Lows Echo“, „No Lows Sweep“

REMOVED

• Removed Stutter Effect to make space for the new effect controls and save CPU
• Removed Macro „Longverb Tide“ Control to make space for the new effect controls. Per default, the Tide value of the Longverb is now set to 0, which creates a natural sounding and long reverb space.
• NEW SOUND: Arp – Filter Delay (Channel 11)
• Beautiful sounding, glassy arp based on the Operator synth and the Filter Delay effect that creates interesting arp delay repets. High LFO amount can create haunted voice sweeps.
• Comes with 4 presets
• NEW SOUND: Pad – Chant (Channel 12)
• Choir-like, chanting pad sound that fits beautifully into an ambient meditation. Slow, LFO-modulated filter movements make the chants brighter and darker over time.
• Comes with 3 presets
• REWORKED MIDI Sequences
• Bass and Plug Dreamy now have dedicated MIDI clips for all 7 sequences as well. So you can hit play in all 7 scenes and have all 8 instruments playing
• Reworked Sequence 1 for a more melodic feel

A: No, you only need one or the other. Ambient Atelia works independently on Push 3 Standalone or inside Ableton Live. Run it on the hardware without a laptop, use it in the DAW, or move freely between both. It’s the same template either way.

A: You need Ableton Live 12 Suite (version 12.4 or higher) or an Ableton Push 3 Standalone. No additional plug-ins or third-party software are required, everything runs on Ableton’s built-in devices.

A: Not at all. Ambient Atelia is built for instant, hands-on results regardless of experience level. Load it, hit play, and you’re shaping evolving ambient textures within seconds, no deep production knowledge required. The included MIDI clips, snapshot presets, and safety-net DEFAULT buttons mean you’re always just one tap away from something that sounds great.

A: No. Every instrument channel has a DEFAULT snapshot button that resets the sound to its original state instantly. The Ambient Performance Effect Rack on the Main channel has a dedicated CLEAN preset that resets all 16 macros at once. Explore as aggressively as you like, you can always get back to a great sound with one tap.

A: First, double-click the included .alp file (or drag it into Ableton Live) to install the project. Once installed, drag the entire project folder, ‘KVNDRA Ambient Atelia Project’, onto your Push 3 Standalone via the browser. Always copy the complete project folder, not just the .als file, to ensure all racks transfer correctly.

A: The default is C Phrygian at 80 BPM, a dark, evocative tonality that suits ambient and cinematic music well. Both are fully adjustable. Note that the included MIDI clips are recorded in C Phrygian, so if you work in a different key you’ll need to transpose them manually or record your own. You can also experiment with playing across two different keys simultaneously for unexpected harmonic results.

A: Yes, that’s exactly what it’s designed for. Fade sounds in and out using the Push Mixing page or Session View faders in Ableton Live, switch between MIDI clip combinations, record live automation, and use the 16-macro Performance Effect Rack to reshape the entire mix in real time. It’s built to sustain long, evolving ambient performances from start to finish.

A: Not exactly. Some sounds in Ambient Atelia are inspired by presets from the Melodic Movement pack, but they’ve been re-tuned and adapted to fit the ambient aesthetic. If you already own Melodic Movement, you’re encouraged to swap the original presets into the instrument channels for new creative combinations.
