Sound samples and generative music tools for Ableton Live.

HEM Sound Library

HEM Sound Library is an open-source collection of sound samples and generative music tools for Ableton Live.

It's totally free to download any of the packs, but if you like what you hear, consider making a donation:

This Sound Library contains 30 sample packs containing over 1800 samples of traditional instruments, extended technique, microtonality, spectralism, non-cochlear events, conceptual sound, studio outtakes, noise reduction artefacts, no-input mixer, rare synth units, secondhand-store vinyl, etc., plus a generative sample playback engine called "Seurat MIDI".

The Demonstration Disc

The "Demonstration Disc" is the best way to see what the library is fully capable of. It is also the first full–length album made with the Sound Library.
