Ethereal Techno - Ableton Edition by A Force Truly Evil
There is a space between silence and sound where the most compelling Techno lives — a place of slow-building tension, spectral textures, and rhythms that feel less like beats and more like breathing. A Force Truly Evil have mapped that space precisely with Ethereal Techno, a meticulously crafted Ableton sound pack designed to draw you — and your audience — into a state of sustained hypnosis.
This is not a pack of preset drops and crowd-pleasers. Ethereal Techno is built for producers who understand that the most powerful moments in electronic music are often the quietest — the held chord that slowly detunes, the bass line that pulses like a heartbeat, the pad that dissolves into noise before resolving back into something hauntingly beautiful. Every patch, every drum hit, every Live Set in this collection has been designed with that philosophy at its core.
The Sounds
At the heart of the pack are 92 velocity-sensitive, fully MPE-compatible patches — the kind of expressive, dynamic instruments that reward performance as much as programming. Modulation wheel assignments give you real-time control over movement and texture, so a single patch can evolve from something sparse and introspective into something cavernous and overwhelming, all within a single take. These are sounds built to be played, not just sequenced.
The patch library is organised into three focused categories. The 26 basses range from deep, sub-heavy foundations to gnarly, resonant acid lines — the kind that sit perfectly in a mix without needing extensive processing. The 33 poly-synths and dub chord patches cover a wide territory: glassy, reverb-drenched chords; cold, metallic stabs; warm analogue-style progressions; and the kind of slow-morphing harmonic textures that define the Dub Techno sound. The 33 pads and textures round out the set with enveloping, atmospheric colours — from delicate, shimmering ambiences to dense, almost industrial drones.
The Rhythms
Techno without drums is just texture. Ethereal Techno gives you 12 complete drum kits and 64 individual drum samples, all tuned to the minimal, hypnotic end of the spectrum. The kicks are deep and punchy — designed to drive without dominating. The snares and claps have that satisfying snap and mid-range crack. The hi-hats are crisp and mechanical. And the toms and percussions — all 32 of them — provide the kind of rhythmic variation that keeps a loop interesting across a four-minute track without ever feeling cluttered. Drop any of the 12 kits into your session and start building immediately.
The Sets
Perhaps the most immediately useful element of the pack is its 19 high-quality Live Sets, each one a window into a different corner of the Techno universe. From the solid, relentless momentum of Deep Techno to the drifting, echo-soaked atmosphere of Dub Techno; from the acidic, filter-swept pulse of classic 303-inspired Acid Techno to the sparse, contemplative minimalism of Minimal Techno — these sets are production-ready starting points, reference tracks, and inspiration triggers all at once. Use them as templates, deconstruct them for arrangement ideas, or simply drop your own sounds in and make them yours.

Who Is It For?
Ethereal Techno is for producers who want their music to feel like a journey rather than a playlist. If you make Deep or Dub Techno, Minimal Techno, Acid, Detroit Techno, IDM, or Tech-House, this pack will integrate seamlessly into your workflow and expand your sonic palette in directions that feel genuinely useful rather than just novel. It is equally at home in a live performance rig — where the MPE expressiveness and modulation assignments come into their own — as it is in a studio session.
Compatibility
Ethereal Techno is fully compatible with Ableton Move, Ableton Live (all versions that support Live Pack format), and Ableton Push. The pack ships with two versions: one formatted specifically for Ableton Move, and one as a standard Ableton Live Pack — both containing the complete content. No additional plugins or instruments are required beyond Ableton Live’s built-in devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
A: Yes. The pack ships with two separate versions: one formatted specifically for Ableton Move, and one as a standard Ableton Live Pack. Both contain the full content — all 92 patches, 19 Live Sets, drum kits, and samples.
A: MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) allows individual notes within a chord or melody to respond independently to expressive gestures like pitch bend, pressure, and slide. In practice, this means the patches in Ethereal Techno respond dynamically to performance — making them ideal for use with expressive controllers like Ableton Push or any MPE-compatible hardware.
A: Ethereal Techno is designed primarily for Deep Techno, Dub Techno, Minimal Techno, and Acid Techno, but the sounds and sets also work excellently in Detroit Techno, Tech-House, IDM, Electro, and Ambient Electronic contexts.
A: Absolutely. The patches are built with live performance in mind — full velocity sensitivity and expressive modulation wheel assignments mean the sounds respond organically to how you play them. They are equally suited to Push-based live sets and traditional keyboard performance.
A: The 19 Live Sets are production-ready session templates that cover a wide range of Techno styles. They can be used as starting points for new tracks, deconstructed for arrangement and sound-design inspiration, or adapted and built upon in your own productions.
A: The Ableton Live Pack format is compatible with Ableton Live 10 and above. For the best experience — particularly with MPE functionality — Ableton Live 11 or Live 12 (any edition) is recommended. The Move version requires an Ableton Move device.
