What are F9 TRAX?

F9 TRAX represents our most powerful and versatile releases to date. In this TRAX release, we deliver 7 fully produced, professionally arranged & mixed DAW projects for you to explore and dissect within your own studio and DAW environment.

All main musical elements are crafted using the included multi-sampled instrument library, along with our meticulously designed drum kits and menus. This allows you to immediately start creating your own original productions using the remarkable sounds and atmosphere of the pack. Unlike typical loop-based content, the pack’s core elements are driven by fully editable MIDI, giving you unparalleled creative freedom.

Our TRAX DAW templates are designed to be entirely self-contained, requiring no third-party plugins. Each template is built from a bespoke sound library that integrates seamlessly into the libraries you already know and love in Ableton Live or Logic Pro.

F9 Audio is renowned for its collection and innovative use of classic hardware synths, samplers, drum machines, and studio hardware. This pack is no exception, offering a modern take on iconic sounds and techniques.

From SP1200-resampled drums and chunky DX7 basses to hand-crafted 303 Acid sequences, lush JP8000 Supersaws, and 90s-style vocal and sax riffs, this release is packed with sonic inspiration. Alongside the expertly designed project files, you'll also gain valuable insights into advanced production techniques.

Currently, F9 TRAX is available for Ableton Live and Logic Pro, but each release is also converted into a WAV pack for users of other DAWs.

The Sounds

1 - SP1200 Resampled Drums

For many years, an original EMU SP1200 was a major feature of the F9 Studios setup. During its time in active use, we resampled a large collection of house music-inspired drum sounds through the unit, further enhancing them by passing the signals through our Neve 1081 preamps and EQ strips, as well as our API and SSL X-Rack devices.

With version 1.5, we’ve significantly expanded the number of SP1200 drum hits. We’ve meticulously curated a fresh collection of 16 new kicks, claps, snares, hats, percussion, and cymbals to complement and enrich the original library.

The signature 12-bit sampling, combined with the renowned aliasing artefacts introduced by the SP1200’s retuning process, brings unparalleled crunch, weight, and depth to drum programming. These characteristics deliver the punch and warmth often missing from unprocessed drum sounds.

2 - Multisampled Patches

The original pioneers of the house music movement set the standard for using multisampled instruments in DAW templates. With the V1.5 update, we’ve significantly expanded the range of fully playable multisampled patches available. This includes additional D7 basses, electric and grand pianos, punchy and warm house organs, and the iconic fizzing JP-8080 supersaw plucks and pads. All of these are designed to offer you fully playable, musically inspiring tools.

3 - Tempo-Synchronised Patches

We’ve long aimed to bring tempo-synchronised patches to both Logic and Ableton, and the F9 iFunk II release proved the workflow. Now, we’re excited to deliver even more functionality in this area through our upcoming template releases, enhancing their practicality and creative potential.

4 - Full WAV and Apple Loop Support

We’ve taken significant steps to make the TRAX packs more efficient and user-friendly. From compiling all the drum and FX sounds to rendering every main element in 24-bit audio, we’ve organised everything not just by project but also by sound type. No more exporting parts from projects or hunting through folders while working at speed—everything is here, ready to streamline your workflow.

5 - MIDI Files

We’ve heard your feedback loud and clear: MIDI files are a must. We’ve committed to including MIDI files in as many productions as possible. These files capture every note-by-note detail, featuring many classic chord progressions from the 90s and beyond. This collection adds even more highly usable content to an already packed offering, ensuring even more creative possibilities.

The Projects

( Logic or Ableton views )

F9 TRAX Orbit – 128 BPM, D Minor

Orbit takes you on a journey through the heady, smoke-machine-filled days of early Progressive House and the pre-Trance melodic releases of the early '90s. Glorious parallel 7th chord breakdowns and rich atmospheres are seamlessly interwoven with Phrygian scale, heads-down drops. The arrangement demonstrates the vital role musical evolution played during this era, providing invaluable inspiration for modern producers.

F9 TRAX Chicago – 123 BPM, D Minor

Dive into the soulful side of house music with Chicago, a project that showcases warm, yet punchy house organs, electric pianos, staccato saxophones, and atmospheric vocal ad-libs. The arrangement exemplifies how dynamic musical sections can build and release tension, creating irresistible grooves that ebb and flow throughout the track.

F9 TRAX Madagasca – 120 BPM, C Minor

Madagasca highlights the slower tempo of early house music, featuring bass multisampled from an original Waldorf Microwave 1. This is blended with an 8-bit resampled version of the iconic Organ Bass, a timeless melodic staple in house music. An infectious riff propels the main sections forward, while warm yet sombre '90s string pads create emotive breakdowns that capture the essence of the era.

F9 TRAX Left Bank – 121 BPM, E Minor

Left Bank pays homage to the French Touch and Parisian scene, expertly riffing on the iconic "3-on-the-root" bassline made famous by Bernard Edwards and emulated by everyone from Queen to Daft Punk. Dive into the MIDI parts to uncover the techniques behind creating this style of production, complete with intricate musical elements and complex arrangements that elevate the groove.

F9 TRAX White Label 122Bpm, Dminor

An homage to the DIY spirit of the mid-'90s UK house music explosion, F9 TRAX White Label celebrates an era when producers pressed tracks on vinyl with simple white labels and basic sleeves to keep costs low. Every week, countless hopefuls would strive to get their latest studio creations onto PVC and convince distribution vans to deliver their hot-off-the-press dance records to record shops, eagerly awaited by crate-digging DJs.

This project captures the essence of that time, featuring classic '90s beats, rolling basslines, and evocative piano and string breakdowns. From underground rhythm-centric tech grooves to melodic, passionate moments, White Label showcases the sounds, production techniques, and arrangements that defined the era.

F9 TRAX Black Widow 123Bpm, Eminor

Step forward into the classic funky house era with F9 TRAX Black Widow. This project ignites with a composite bassline that masterfully blends a multisampled jazz bass with mini-riffs and effects drawn from a versatile bass sound-menu patch.

Discover how we use ‘air’ loops to inject energy and subliminal motion into the most driving sections, and apply filtered build-ups with atmospheric breakdowns reminiscent of iconic tracks like Armand Van Helden’s remix of Tori Amos’s “Professional Widow.” This project is a masterclass in funky house production, capturing the essence of the mid-’90s through to the mid-2000s explosion of the genre.

F9 TRAX Motor City 123Bpm, AMinor

Sampling was a cornerstone of early house music. When a chord is sampled and played back using a MIDI keyboard, the resulting chord sequence gains a unique character. This happens because certain notes of the chord are transposed outside the standard diatonic notes of the musical key. This distinctive sound became synonymous with early house music.

In this project, we replicate that iconic technique using multiple variations of an openly voiced minor 7th chord, recorded through 8-bit sampling. This approach mimics the sound of legendary devices like the Ensoniq Mirage, famously embraced by Detroit’s pioneering producers.
