Though Wolfers has a studio full of gear, the Juno-106 is the quintessential Legowelt synth: its six-voice polyphony is essential for creating the spacey Chicago-style pads, resonant bass and otherworldly atmospheres that make up his productions.ĭanny Wolfers loves the Commodore Amiga so much he named a whole album after it, so it’s not surprising his free drum machine for Ableton is inspired by the computer. Wolfers describes the Juno-106 as a “workhorse” – perhaps a little too accurate considering he broke his during the making of 2011 album The TEAC Life (because it was “too deep”).
To simplify things, we’ve rounded up the links to some of Wolfers’ most essential freebies in one place, including his killer Amiga drum machine and a free Ableton effect for simulating his “badass tape sound.” The technical limitations of Wolfers’ website means that not all of his creations are particularly easy to find, especially his Ableton instruments, which are more fun to use than most plug-ins you’d pay for. Using the sizeable collection of synths and drum machines located in his home studio (or Mystic Sound Research Institute), Wolfers has created the tools to make music the Legowelt way, from an exhaustive collection of Yamaha DX sounds to ghetto house drum samples. It’s also home to a treasure trove of free sample packs and Ableton instruments, each recorded or designed by Wolfers himself.
ABLETON SOUND PACKS FREE SOFTWARE
He’s also got one of the best websites on the internet, with a decidedly Web 1.0 homepage offering everything from photos of his extensive synth collectionto programs from his own software company. In case you don’t already know, the best collection of free music software and synth samples on the internet can be found at the website of Dutch techno outsider Legowelt.ĭanny Wolfers is best known for releasing countless records over the past 20 years across at least 30 different aliases, most of which add a dash of occult mysticism to Chicago house and Detroit techno.
