Warm Percs by Cluster Sound

Saturation as an Instrument

Clean percussion has its place. But sometimes you need something more—percussion with character, with grit, with warmth that sits in a mix like it belongs there. Percussion that feels touched by analog circuits, shaped by creative processing, saturated with harmonic richness.

Warm Percs delivers 384 delightfully saturated percussion sounds, each one sampled from vintage workstations and then sculpted using advanced sound design techniques. These aren’t raw, sterile hits—they’re percussion with personality, processed and enhanced to deliver instant vibe and character to your tracks.

Ten Creative Categories

32 Busted Percs embrace controlled destruction. These sounds have been pushed, distorted, and broken in beautiful ways—percussion that’s been through the wringer and emerged with character. Perfect for gritty, aggressive productions that need edge.

32 Compact Percs deliver tight, focused hits with reduced dynamic range and enhanced punch. These sounds have been compressed and shaped for maximum impact in dense mixes, cutting through without taking up unnecessary space.

48 Dull Percs offer muted, subdued textures—the opposite of bright and shiny. These darker, more reserved sounds provide rhythmic foundation without competing for attention. Ideal for creating space and depth in your arrangements.

32 LoFi Percs capture the charm of degraded audio—bit-crushed, sample-rate reduced, filtered through the lens of vintage digital limitations. These sounds carry nostalgic character and instant retro appeal.

32 Noise Percs explore textural territory where rhythm meets atmosphere. These are percussive hits built from or enhanced with noise elements, creating unique sonic signatures that blur the line between drum and texture.

48 Object Percs reimagine everyday sounds as rhythmic elements. Found-sound percussion processed and transformed into playable instruments, bringing organic unpredictability to electronic productions.

32 Scrape Percs focus on friction and texture—sounds that drag, scratch, and grind. These percussive elements add movement and tactile character, perfect for creating tension or adding organic imperfection.

32 Shaper Percs showcase aggressive transient design and envelope manipulation. These sounds have been sculpted with precision, their attacks sharpened or softened, their decays extended or truncated for maximum creative control.

48 Tube Percs glow with analog warmth. Run through tube saturation and vintage processing chains, these percussion sounds carry harmonic richness and the smooth compression that only tubes can deliver.

48 Warp Percs push into experimental territory with pitch manipulation, time-stretching, and creative warping. These sounds exist in their own sonic space, offering unconventional textures for adventurous productions.

Vintage Sources, Modern Processing

The foundation of Warm Percs comes from vintage workstations—classic hardware that defined professional production for decades. But these aren’t simple sample dumps. Each sound has been processed using multiple sound design techniques: saturation for harmonic richness, filtering for tonal shaping, compression for punch, creative effects for character.

The result is percussion that already sounds like it belongs in your mix. Sounds that need minimal additional processing. Percussion with depth, warmth, and the kind of character that only comes from thoughtful sound design.

Organized for Creative Flow

Every percussion sound comes as a dedicated Drum Device with macro controls, giving you immediate sound-shaping power without diving into complex parameter menus. Adjust tone, tune pitch, control dynamics—all at your fingertips.

The pack includes 24 sound-specific Drum Racks, each containing 16 related percussion devices with macro controls. Want to explore tube-saturated sounds? Load the Tube Percs rack. Experimenting with lo-fi textures? The LoFi Percs rack has you covered. This organization keeps your workflow fast and your creativity uninterrupted.

Device preview playback lets you audition sounds before loading them. Direct installation into Ableton’s Packs section keeps everything organized and accessible. Find the right sound, load it, customize it, and get back to making music.

Two Powerful Formats

For Ableton Live Users: 384 individual Drum Devices with macro controls, 24 organized Drum Racks for fast browsing, device preview playback, and seamless Packs integration. Everything optimized for Live’s workflow.

For Kontakt Users: The Droom synthesizer provides unified access to all percussion sounds with comprehensive sound design controls. Shape, filter, saturate, and process your percussion within a single intuitive interface.

Character for Every Genre

Warm Percs adapts to any style. Add tube warmth to house grooves. Layer lo-fi textures into hip-hop beats. Use busted and scrape sounds for industrial and experimental tracks. Bring object and noise percussion into ambient and downtempo productions. These sounds enhance electronic music across the spectrum, from dance floor to headphones.

Important Information

Initial Release – October 2025

Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.

.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.

.amxd files – These are individual MaxforLive Devices and can be stored anywhere on your hard drive. We’d advise creating a folder for them and then adding that folder as a location within the Places section of Lives Browser.
