This is just incredibly good, I absolutely love it. Huge variety in the patches, with still the 'faded' line in the set. Absolutely worth the money, my most used pack atm

Faded – Ableton Live & Move Edition by Receptive Sound Tools
There’s a particular kind of magic that happens when a medium starts to fail. The warble of a stretched cassette tape. The artefacts of a heavily compressed MP3. The crackle and bloom of worn vinyl. Receptive Sound Tools have built an entire sonic world around that moment, and Faded is the result.
Faded is a Drift preset pack for Ableton Move, Live, and Push that captures sound at the edge of decay. Using the new and expanded audio effects introduced in Move OS 2.0, each preset pushes Ableton’s Drift synthesizer into territories of subtle degradation, textural warmth, and lo-fi beauty. Whether you’re drawn to the nostalgic haze of degraded tape or the brittle shimmer of broken digital compression, Faded gives you a complete sonic palette to work with: deeply expressive, immediately playable, and built to inspire.
The Vibe
Faded sits at the intersection of nostalgia and nuanced sound design, pulling together wobbly pads that feel like they’re dissolving at the edges, keys worn smooth by time, and plucks that seem to fracture on impact. The drum racks follow suit: dusty, textured, and deeply atmospheric, providing rhythmic foundations that feel lived-in rather than pristine. Together, the melodic presets and drum racks form a cohesive toolkit for crafting music that breathes, decays, and glows.
Whether you’re building slow-burning ambient textures, sketching lo-fi beats on the move, or designing sound beds for cinematic projects, Faded delivers the kind of character that’s impossible to fake with generic presets. Every sound in this collection has been deliberately crafted to feel like it exists somewhere between the world of pristine synthesis and beautiful, resonant deterioration.
Key Features
- 76 Drift presets: a comprehensive collection spanning wobbly pads, nostalgic keys, broken plucks, and bass sounds, each one built to evoke the aesthetic of decay and wear
- 8 macros per preset: every preset ships with 8 carefully assigned macros so you can shape, morph, and personalize each sound directly from your Move, Push, or in Live
- 3 bespoke Drum Racks: custom-built percussion racks filled with dusty, textured drum sounds that sit perfectly alongside the melodic content, ideal for lo-fi, ambient, and electronica rhythms
- 40 premium WAV samples: 24-bit/48kHz royalty-free samples giving you high-quality raw material for further sound design, resampling, and track-building
- 4 demo sets included: 2 sets for Ableton Move and 2 for Ableton Live, offering practical starting points that demonstrate how the presets and drum racks work together in a real production context
- Full cross-platform workflow: create and sketch ideas on Ableton Move, develop full arrangements in Ableton Live, and perform live on Push. Faded supports your entire workflow seamlessly
- Move OS 2.0 integration: built specifically to take advantage of the new and expanded audio effects introduced in Move OS 2.0, unlocking deeper textural possibilities within Drift
- Broad genre coverage: crafted for lo-fi, ambient, cinematic, drone, electronica, and IDM, equally suited to on-the-go composition and detailed studio sessions
How It Works
Faded installs directly via Ableton Move Manager, making it immediately accessible across your Move hardware, Ableton Live on desktop, and Push. Once installed, browse the 76 Drift presets to find your starting point, whether that’s an evolving pad, a fragile key sound, or a rhythmically broken pluck. Load one of the three drum racks to add a rhythmic foundation, then use the 8 macros on each preset to dial in exactly the texture and movement you need.
The four included demo sets are a powerful addition to the package. Two sets are formatted for Ableton Move and two for Ableton Live, each one demonstrating how the melodic presets and drum racks interact in a finished production context. Use them as templates to get started quickly, pull them apart to understand the sound design, or strip them back and build something entirely your own on top. The 40 premium WAV samples give you additional flexibility for resampling, layering, or dropping into your own drum racks and samplers.
