PMX-304 Reeds Ableton Pack

PMX-304 Reeds by PerforModule
A set of six bellows-driven vibrating-reed instruments, sampled from the PX-300 Digital Piano and presented in a self-installing pack for Ableton Live 9+.

The samples for each of 88 keys have been individually recorded through a dual triode vacuum tube at 96k for a touch of analog fidelity. 
They have been crafted into instrument racks optimized with parameters to reflect their true physical counterparts.

Included Instruments:
PMX-300 Accordion
PMX-300 Bagpipe
PMX-300 Bandoneon
PMX-300 Harmonica
PMX-300 Reed Organ
PMX-300 Shehnai

These instruments are designed with endless sustain; as long as you hold a note down it will continue to sound. Special controls for the Reeds pack vary per instrument... the Accordion instrument include a "shake" effect as well as a MIDI rack which allows playing the chords buttons. The Bagpipe instrument includes its own special capabilities to be played similar to a real bagpipe, with a separate drone and chanter melody. The Harmonica instrument has a "harmonica amp" effect rack for a gritty blues tone plus an "octave reeds" option, the Reed Organ instrument has macros to emulate real organ pedals, and the Shehnai instrument is optimized like a woodwind.

The Reeds pack also comes with the bonus audio effect "Wind Pipe" which comes pre-loaded onto each instrument. This is a effect which adds a breathy sound like forced air.

Macro Controls:
"Reso": alters certain parameters for a more biting tone.
"High Cut Freq": sets the low pass filter cutoff point.
"Response": determine the attack and decay character. To fade in, play while this is set to the upper range. To fade out, turn this up while notes are held, then let go while it's up. 
"Wind Tune": sets the tone of the wind pipe effect.
"Bellows Shake": emulate the "bellows shake" tremolo accordion technique
"Shake Speed": sets the rate of the tremolo shaking.
"Timbre Shift": change tone by shifting sample selection.
"Wind Pipe": how much wind pipe sound to add.

Bagpipe Controls:
"Bellows Strength": the force of the air being pushed.
"Filter Modify": the bagpipe uses this instead of "high cut". It alters the filter cutoffs for both the drone and chanter. 
"Drone or Chanter": determines whether the drone or chanter is playing. Play a note while it is turned to the left to set the drone note, then turn it to the right and play the melody on the chanter. To retrigger or change the drone note, repeat this process. 
"Chanter Legato": deteremines staccato or legato chanter playing. When set at maximum (default) the sound keeps coming indefinitely. Use staccato settings to emulate the ability to stop all holes to the chanter.   

Harmonica Amp Controls:
"Tube": amount of input drive.
"Amp Type": choose between a few cleaner to dirtier amp models.
"Mono or Stereo?": single or dual channel.
"Mic Distance": higher = further away.
"Bass", "Mids", "Treble", "Presence": EQ. The "Mids" band also affects the tone of the tube drive.
