We invite you to enhance your Ableton Live experience with a free download of Retro Synths by Puremagnetik, our most popular Partner Instrument. Retro Synths represents the best of Puremagnetik’s meticulously multi-sampled vintage synthesizer packs, including samples from classics such as the Korg MS-20, Roland D-50 and more. Used by the likes of Roger Linn, Surge is a free, open-source software synth that was, until 2019, a paid product. The subtractive hybrid synth features three oscillators per voice with eight oscillator algorithms plus oscillator FM/ring modulation to quickly mutate your sounds.

Having a personal collection of synth samples and one shots can be a treasure trove of musical possibilities for the creative music producer.
The versatility of just a single one shot synth sample can be astounding if you know how they can be manipulated and transformed to do what you want.
Using techniques like time stretching, pitch shifting, layering, chopping, resampling, reversing, and using a sampler to adjust adsr envelopes are just some of the ways you can mold a synth one shot into something fresh and new.
Synth loops can be great for manipulating too. Chopping up a synth loop and playing a new pattern is an easy way to make a synth loop your own.
Another fun option for Ableton users is to use the convert audio to midi feature. Then you can add your own vst to the midi track and choose whatever sound you want!
Cymatics has been making synth loops and synth one shots for a long time so we’ve put together a list of the top five free synth sound kits out in 2020!

Long renowned in the Max community for creating top-notch plug-ins, Katsuhiro Chiba has a passion for creating his own instruments. As an Ableton Live user, he's happy that Max for Live has now allowed him to combine Max/MSP with his favorite audio production environment. Using Max for Live, Katsuhiro Chiba has developed three synthesizers that are inspired by classic synth sounds of the 1980s.

Opfour is a nearly perfect clone of the TX81Z, Yamaha's classic FM synth.

The TX81Z is a four-oscillator synth that was part of Yamaha's second generation of popular FM synthesizers. Since the oscillators were capable of producing eight different waveforms (rather than just sine waves), the TX81Z was capable of a wide variety of timbres, from 'classic' FM bells and electric pianos to rich basses and leads. The TX81Z became particularly famous for the 'LatelyBass' preset - a staple sound on numerous early house and Detroit techno records.

August was inspired by the fat sounds of classic analog synthesizers.

This two-oscillator subtractive synthesizer is simple to program, but provides great results. The first oscillator produces a pulse wave with an adjustable pulse width control, which allows for various types of sawtooth and square wave timbres. The second oscillator can be switched between a sawtooth wave and a noise generator, and a Mix knob adjusts the balance between the two oscillators.

August's resonant lowpass filter can be switched between 12 and 24 dB per octave and modulated by a dedicated LFO and/or envelope.

August even includes its own dedicated chorus effect for even more warmth and fatness.

Sep2 uses two identical but independent sine wave oscillators to create simple, flexible sounds with a minimum of parameters.

Sep2 is particularly great for lo-fi percussion sounds, and the pitch envelope can create impressive analog-style kick drums, complete with a pitch drop.
