When STRANJAH first approached me to work on an Ableton Kit, I knew it had to be something that lived up to the high standards he set with his previous kits. I wanted to create something truly game-changing and give users a larger canvas to work with, instead of just some digital synth and drum patches. My goal was to craft an experience that could change the way people approach music production.
As I planned for the pack, I became close friends with Max Filazek, a multi-talented jazz musician. Over several months, we worked tirelessly on creating a wide variety of musical ideas, using various recording techniques and instruments. With the addition of professional jazz drummer Arlo, we captured an extensive collection of percussive loops, showcasing vintage drum shells and cymbals. Then I meticulously edited and mixed the samples to provide a professionally finished sound. To round out your production experience with unique digital instruments, I spent several months creating modular bass/synth racks with custom macro controls and developing the custom DEV-81 plugin. The result is Ruff & Rugged, a production kit that delivers an inspiring musical experience for producers of all levels.
