Peak Time Techno Environment by 36db

Overview & Inspiration

Peak Time Techno production starts here. This advanced Live 11 Environment is a comprehensive solution for creating every aspect of a professional Techno track—from driving rhythms to hypnotic synths to floor-shaking low end.

Building on 36db’s first-generation Environments, this evolved system comes loaded with 170 custom presets, all mapped to Live 11’s new 16 macros for every Instrument and Effects Rack. More sounds at your control. Faster results. Whether you’re a beginner finding your sound or an advanced producer refining your craft, this template arrangement can be deconstructed and reformed in infinite ways.

The modular design lets you drag, drop, mix, and match seamlessly between any session you’re working on—making this the ultimate production and remix tool. Push 3 ready for studio work, hybrid DJ gigs, or live performance.

If you’re inspired by the relentless energy of Ben Klock, the hypnotic textures of Marcel Dettman, the driving force of Pig and Dan, or the visionary sounds of Sven Väth and Gregor Tresher, this Environment delivers the tools to match that intensity.

Features & Highlights

Push 3 Ready – Full integration with Push 3 Controller and Push 3 Standalone mode gives you tactile control over every parameter. Perform live in the studio, at hybrid DJ gigs, or as part of a complete live show.

170 Custom Presets – 70 Instrument Rack presets, 80 Effects Rack presets, 10 MIDI Rack presets, and 10 custom processing presets. Every preset is mapped to 16 macros for deep, intuitive control.

16 Macro Control – All Instrument and Effects Racks leverage Live 11’s expanded macro system, giving you unprecedented hands-on expression and faster sound shaping.

Three Live Sets for Every Workflow – A full Environment with template arrangement, a Drum Rack with patterns, and individual drum tracks for granular control. Learn from the structure, then make it your own.

Professional Synth Architecture – Seven custom synths built with Ableton’s Analog, Sampler, and Operator. Each synth includes color-coded macro tips and multiple presets to unlock classic Techno tones and cutting-edge textures.

Custom Drum Rack and Processing – One meticulously crafted Drum Rack featuring 16 custom drum sounds and percussive elements. Drums are also provided as individual tracks with MIDI, plus a custom drum channel strip with presets for surgical control.

Musical Foundation – 34 MIDI clips provide authentic Techno patterns, grooves, and progressions. Use them as-is or deconstruct them to understand the rhythmic DNA of the genre.

FX Arsenal – Six custom Effects Racks, three return channels, 48 custom EFX samples, one MIDI Effects Rack, and a master channel strip. This is how the pros create space, movement, and impact.

Unlimited Versatility – Save presets to your existing library, add your own drum samples to the bespoke Drum Racks, or extract individual elements for other projects. The modular design works exactly how you work.
