This rack pack utilizes 16 Impulses mapped chromatically across 128 keys (basically a modified version of the MPC KILLER Rack). The fun part about this one is it comes loaded with 128 Original 24bit 96k percussion samples sampled from the Future Retro FR-777. For the most part these samples have been left un-touch and unprocessed... for your tweaking pleasure. Hope you enjoy it and as always this is an "open-file" project so tweaking the samples to death, rearranging the rack, mixing it up however you wish and reposting your creations is always encouraged.

Here are some useful racks (at least for me).
http://freenet-homepage.de/juliushochst ... 24_+24.adg
Midi FX, transposes a midi track octaves up or down.
http://freenet-homepage.de/juliushochst ... tility.adg
self explaining, the knob stereo reverser, reverses the left and right channel, in the middle position it's mono, the eq is off, as long as set to zero
http://freenet-homepage.de/juliushochst ... tdrehe.adg
reverses beat order
example: 4/4, fx set to quartes, instead playing 1 2 3 4, it's 2 1 4 3.
time macro switches through the chains
attention every chain is delayd by the amount of time
http://freenet-homepage.de/juliushochst ... oler_2.adg
http://freenet-homepage.de/juliushochst ... oler_4.adg
simple beat repeat mapping
http://freenet-homepage.de/juliushochst ... d_Tape.adg
dynamic tube, grain delay and chorus, try it out
http://freenet-homepage.de/juliushochst ... e_Echo.adg
use it on a send and control the feedback with the send knob
it consists of two simple delays, one set to beat and the other to time, with the time beat macro you can mix both delays
http://freenet-homepage.de/juliushochst ... h_Bass.adg
Bass synth with distortion unit
http://freenet-homepage.de/juliushochst ... /8step.alp
Step sequencer with 8 steps, you can take control over all parameters with macros, the first rack controlls the velocity of the 8 steps, the two next racks pitch and note lenght (for glides) and the last rack contains some midi parameters, the minor major macro if set to the middle is chromatic.
Have fun.

Hello,
First, I'd like to thank everybody for their great Racks. I had no idea that there was this resource of amazing effects and instruments from users.
Here is something I can't figure out (sort of a noob question):
There are some instrument racks that have effects in the "return A, return B" tracks. Is there an easy way to save the instrument rack along with the return effects? What I've been doing is taking the effects on the return, and trying to duplicate them on the instrument rack track as close to the original sound. Then I group them and save it. But is there an easier way?
This also doesn't work for racks that are chained to different tracks. There are a couple that I've found, such as "ArpAndNext" and Bitchmyglitch", which I may have dled from other website, that use mutiple tracks for their instruments. I would like to save it as one instrument rack as opposed to their individual ones.
Thanks again.

DJ Eq with pots at 12 o'clock +6 -inf (quite)
I've reposted it here!
Hi,
as everybody is looking for a good Dj Eq since ever and I ordered a Faderfox last week wich I got today,
I fiddled around to get something useable together with pots at 12 O'clock, +6 dB and -inf dB gains.
Finally I've put together 3 racks inside one, each one hosts 2 chains,
a chain with an Eq8 and a second chain with an Eq3.
Gains on the Eq8's and chain selector are mapped to a macro in each rack, one for Hi, mid and low.
For full cut the audio passes only the Eq3's with each one a kill switch enabled for the respective band,
it kills quite good but not completely, something I can't explain, theoretically they should,
as when you stick 3 Eq3 together and kill one band on each one you'll hear nothing and inside this rack you still hear a little bit of sound.
Please check it out and let me know what you think,
perhaps somebody can explain why they don't kill completely.
Abletons perhaps?
Link removed,
please see post below.

Here's my DJ racks:
http://tarekith.com/assets/TarekithDJEfx01.zip
This is the first of what will be an ongoing collection of DJ Effects Racks for Ableton Live. Included in this zip file, you will find 4 Live FX Racks specially created for use in a live setting. Drag the following files:
Chop Shop.adg
Dirty Rack.adg
Super Luper.adg
Tabble Tennis.adg
into your Ableton Live Library, or wherever you keep your Ableton presets. The location of your library can be found by opening Live, and in the Preferences checking the File-Folder tab:
I created these racks to simplify the use of effects in a DJ setting. Each rack will open showing only the 8 macro knobs, and ideally this is all you will ever need to see. The racks have been set up to use in two ways, simply toggling them on and off, and tweaking the macro's via Live's automapping functions.
If you only use the QWERTY keys in your DJing, or your controller has buttons you can assign, your best bet is to map buttons or keys to toggle the racks' on/off button. I have set up the racks so that the volume of the effected audio is as close as possible to the uneffect signal. This way you can turn the effect on and off without any jumps in volume.
If your controller is in the list of supported control surfaces in the MIDI Preferences, you can control the macro knobs of each selected rack as well. Again, I've tried assigning the most appropriate controls to all macro knobs, so you should rarely need to open the Device Chains views.
http://tarekith.com/assets/TarekithDJEfx02.zip
Here's two more DJ oriented effects, this time set up a bit differently. As before, the only thing you really need to have shown on the racks is the Macro Knob view. On both racks, the first Macro knob is the primary control, and should ideally be mapped to knob on your controller.
At the knob's lowest 3 values (0-3), the effect is completely off. As you raise the knob, the effect slowly fades in, until at 127 all you hear is the effect. I made the lowest 3 values turn the effect completely off to give you some 'wiggle room', in case for some reason you can't always get your controller to transmit it's lowest value.
Philter Phuker is a pretty simple hi-pass and lo-pass filter, the first knob turn it on and increases the amount of fitlering. The second Macro Knob is the low pass filter, raising this knob clockwise will take more and more of the bass away until only the treble sounds remain. Macro Knob 3 is a lo-pass filter which does the opposite, lowering it counter-clockwise removes more and more of the high end, making the sound muddy and deep. Be careful of knob 4, it distorts the signal more, but can also make the signal very loud.
Washed Out is a smearing delay based effect, good for turning things into ambient drops and breakdowns Smile Macro Knob 1 turns the effect on or off, and increases the depth of the smearing. The rest of the knobs add subtle changes to the tone of the smearing. Good for chill moments, might be too much for full on dance tunes (but go for it anyway).
http://tarekith.com/assets/TarekithDJEfx03.zip
Here's the latest round of my DJ oriented effects racks for Ableton Live (version 6 or newer required). This time I used the racks some what differently, creating them so that a single knob per rack would not only bypass the rack, but also allow you to select the depth of two different effects. I created these racks to be used in a specific order in my DJ template, as this way they all interact better, and you can use multiple racks to shape your audio with a great deal of control. Therefore it's recommend to installed these 4 Racks on each track in the following order:
1. Twister Filter
2. Module Later
3. Slice Or Dice
4. Delayed Reaction
In each Rack, you'll want to map the first Macro Knob to a midi knob on your controller, and set each Knob so that it is pointing at 12 o'clock, straight up. Midi controller range 60-68 on all Macro 1 Knobs is a completely dry zone, your audio won't be affected by the racks at all. This is where you want to leave the knob when you aren't using the effects, the default off position.
As you turn the knob to the left (59-0, counter-clockwise), you will slowly fade in the first effect. At the knobs far left position, the first effect will be heard 100% wet. As you turn the the Knob to the right of 12 o'clock (69-127, clockwise) you will fade in the second effect until it is heard 100% wet. The audio level should stay pretty consistent throughout the knob range, so feel free to tweak away without worrying about overdriving the channel levels. However, tweaking Macro Knobs 2-8 in these Racks CAN overload the channel, depending on the audio you are playing and the position of the Knob. Use these Knobs with care.
Here's a description of all 4 effects Racks in this pack:
Twister Filter
This is a dual High-pass and Low-pass filter. Turning Macro Knob 1 to the left will low-pass filter the audio, removing the highs and mids. Turning this Knob to the right will high-pass filter the audio, removing the lows and bass. Macro Knobs 2 and 3 control how sharp both filters act if you want additional control or wish to fine tune it differently.
Module Later
This rack is a Phasor and Chorus unit. Turning the knob to the left slowly adds the Phasor aspect, turning the knob to the right does the same for the Chorus effect. There's also a little bit of random autopan on each effect to help it gel more smoothly, turning the audio all smooth and transient free.
Slice Or Dice
This one is a gating plug in which chops the audio up into divisions in time with the song you're using it on. The left side of the knob uses a sine wave to gate the audio, and the phase is offset somewhat. This makes it a very smooth effect, at moderate settings the audio seems to pulse gently in time with the music. Turning the knob to the right gates the audio with a square wave for a very abrupt on and off effect. The default gate time is 1/8th notes in both cases, though you can change this with the other Macro Knobs if you want. Both sides also use a very short delay to help make the effect more trippy and easier to mix in. Remember, left is soft gating, right is hard gating.
Delayed Reaction
Another delay based rack, as you can tell I like these. It can be overkill if done too much, but done subtly, it really adds a lot of control to your mixing IMO. In this rack, a left turn of the Macro 1 Knob adds a very short delay to the signal, around 1/16th note long. This is a good subtle effect when you just barely make the delays audible. Turning the knob to the right does the same thing but with delays that are much longer. Good for really drawing out soft endings to tunes, or tearing apart a breakdown.

Updated DJ EQ 12 o'clock +12-inf less phasy
I've optimized the Dj Eq,
it's less phasy now and in the positive gain range I've added a bit tube warmth.

Could you please reuplod these 2 racks - the lynx are brrrokkkenn
Trilosequence
by Airwave: Reaktor style sequence, quite cool
Requires Ableton's Operator
16 step Sequencer
by rbmonosylabik: you just mute steps with the chain mute buttons in "Steps" and select pitch, velocity and length in the plugs in each chain. The Scale plug at the end of each chain is for easy pattern transposing. This new one also comes set up to store 8 patterns in a Rack. Use the chain selector in the outer rack to select pattern.
thanks a bunch!

Breaks Rack
What I've done is created a versatile Auto Breaks Rack.
What this rack does is allow you to twist a knob and get breaks through one or more auto breaks vsts.
The first in the chain is instajungle. Without doing anything this vst acts as a passthrough. When you map the four buttons to keys it will allow you to make drum rolls from the buffer. If you turn it off and on quickly, it does a lot more than just rolls.
The second and third in the chain are Livecut and Supatrigga. Both of these take the incoming audio and create breaks.
This is very simple and extremely effective for live Breaks, Drum and Bass, or any other rhythm oriented music. The first macro knob is the only thing mapped. It's mapped to the chain.
You can get the rack and the needed vsts at the following urls.
