Breakbeat Environment by 36db

You get a full Ableton Live template built around breakbeat production, including Instrument Racks, MIDI, drum breaks, basslines, and processed sample elements. A walkthrough video is also included that guides you through deconstructing and reconstructing the track from the ground up.

The Breakbeat Environment is built entirely using Ableton Live’s native plug-ins, synths, and samplers, so no third-party instruments or effects are required. You’ll need a current version of Ableton Live Suite to access all the included devices and features.

No additional plug-ins are needed. Everything inside the template uses Ableton Live’s built-in tools, making it straightforward to open and start working with immediately.

Yes, the walkthrough video is designed to teach you how the template is built, covering arrangement, EQ, mixing, and sound design techniques in a practical, hands-on way. It’s a solid learning resource whether you’re developing your skills or looking to add new production approaches to your workflow.

Absolutely. The whole point of the Environment is to give you a launchpad for your own productions. Deconstruct the elements, rework the MIDI, and rebuild them into something entirely your own.

The Breakbeat Environment is tailored to breakbeat, but the techniques, processing, and arrangement ideas translate well into jungle, drum and bass, techno, and any other genre that draws on complex, energetic drum programming and frenetic basslines.

If you mix and match any three or more 36db Environments, Elements, or Artist Series Packs in your basket, a 20% discount is applied automatically at checkout. No discount code is needed.

V1.0.0 – Initial Release – 2025

Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.

.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
