Free Ableton Live Pack #195: Hainbach Isolation Instruments
Hainbach’s Isolation Loops
When the world began shutting to fight Covid-19, Hainbach released a sample pack called Isolation Loops. He put some of his favorite instruments to work. In his own words, “the Metasonix D1000 drummachine, whose hummy excellence I have enjoyed for long. The amazing Juno60 run through the nicest passive bandpass filters known, acoustic soundtrack loops with prepared piano, my beloved Ciat-Lonbarde modular, humble dictaphone piano loops and of course raw test equipment”.
As a longtime fan, I reached out to Hainbach to see if he would like to speak on the Music Production Podcast, and if he would allow me to create some Ableton Live Instruments from a few of the samples. He was happy to do both!
Isolation Instruments Ableton Live Pack
The Hainbach Isolation Instruments Ableton Live Pack contains 3 Ableton Live Instrument Racks made from a tiny fraction of Hainbach's amazing and free Isolation Loops Sample Pack, and two Audio Effect Racks inspired by my conversation with Hainbach on the Music Production Podcast. Hainbach spoke with a passion about bandpass filters, and it inspired me to build some effects that utilize layers of parallel bandpass filters. He also mentioned how some of his test equipment oscillators contain rich overtones. With this in mind I built the Live Pack.
The sounds are rich and exciting, and I’ve had a lot of fun making them and using them. It’s just the tiniest fraction of what is possible with Hainbach’s Isolation Loops. Be sure to download Isolation Loops! And have fun with these Ableton Live Instruments and Effects!

Hainbach on the Music Production Podcast
Hainbach and I had a great conversation on the Music Production Podcast. I was especially interested in how he maintains his characteristic sense of wonderment and exploration. He has a way of staying fascinated in his work that I find quite inspiring.
