Drum & Percussion Racks

Each of Hernan Cattaneo’s Drum Racks feature handpicked samples from his personal collection, blending exotic Latin American percussion with powerful electronic drums and sound effects.

Additionally, each Drum Rack™includes a custom Hernan Cattaneo Drums Bus Channel strip, designed to enhance the energy and presence of your drums, offering versatile options for positioning them in your mix.

Instruments & Effects

36db and Hernan Cattaneo have curated an exceptional collection of synths, instruments, and effect racks for you to explore. Among these are uniquely sampled instruments from Hernan’s favourite hardware synths, frequently used in his productions. A standout feature is the Hernan Cattaneo MS20 LFO Effects Rack, a re-creation of the legendary Korg MS20, renowned for its ability to produce wild LFO effects that can infuse any track with sci-fi soundscapes. Additionally, you’ll find authentic MS20 LFO EFX samples, reimagined as an instrument using Ableton’s Wavetable Synth.

Hernan Cattaneo Instrument Racks

This selection of instruments in the Hernan Cattaneo Environments is a beautiful collection of sounds. Each of the Sampler Instruments were sampled over 5 octaves. The behavior and performance response of these sounds were recreated in Ableton Live to give you the best playability.

Each Instrument Rack comes with 16 macros of control. This allows you to dial in the sounds you want and gives you 10 presets for each Instrument rack to get you started.
