Product reviews
“36db Environments give everyone the chance to elevate their music to another level. Get involved you won’t be sorry”
Nick Warren
“Whether exploring the immediate creative possibilities of an Environment, or having the ability to add their powerful production tools to your existing workflow — 36db is something that’s truly as useful for beginners as it is for the pros.”
DJ Three
Woah!!! This Environment is a mega inspiration & sonic powerhouse. There really is so much going on in this project & there is so much more that I will likely discover due to the sheer quantity contained within this epic 36db product. Sound quality is insanely high but the variation in processes used within the different parts throughout the project files is what really makes this shine! So many possibilities to manipulate the sound to create something truely unique is on offer for beginners & professionals alike. Reverse engineering this environment has definitely taught me ALOT and helped fine tune my existing workflow techniques. Huge amount of gems to uncover in this one! Definitely worth it!!
Regards J

Hernan Cattaneo - Artist Series - Static Sky Environments by 36db
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.
Hernan Cattaneo Effects Racks
We’ve meticulously recreated a selection of Hernan’s favourite effects, the ones he relies on in his own productions. This collection features a wide variety of Effects Racks, each offering extensive controls to help you craft the exact sound you’re after. From reverbs and delays to modulation effects and more, these tools are designed to elevate your productions.
Additionally, each Effects Rack comes with 10 presets to jumpstart your creative process.
Hernan and 36db have also crafted 6 return channel Effects Racks, offering a diverse range of effects, including some wild glitchy textures to add depth and dimension to your sounds.
As with all our 36db Instruments and Effects Racks, these are provided as individual racks, allowing you to mix and match them to suit your own productions. By combining these devices, you can achieve limitless results, showcasing the true modular power of Ableton Live
Push 3 Total Control
All of Hernan Cattaneo’s Environments, along with every Instrument and Effects Rack, are now fully compatible with Push 3. You can effortlessly drag any of these 36db Hernan Cattaneo devices to your Push 3, and all macros and performance controls will integrate seamlessly, including those for any Max for Live devices.
Our primary goal in designing these Environments was to elevate the hands on experience. We’ve meticulously mapped and programmed each instrument and effects rack to ensure the ultimate user experience, prioritising functionality and control to help you achieve efficient and creative results.
Tips and Tricks
As you browse through the presets, you’ll discover a wide range of new sounds and effects that can instantly transform the instrument or effect. You can also experiment with the randomize button at the top right of the rack, which can yield impressive results or provide a fresh starting point for creating your own custom preset. This snapshot will be saved with the rack in your Environment or within the Rack preset when you save it to your browser.
