Covert Operators Partnership and a New Product Release
Most of my current customers know about this, but I’m posting it for the benefit of anyone visiting the site for the first time. A few months ago, I joined forces with The Covert Operators to work on various sound library projects. Bjorn Vayner and Andreas Wetterberg, the original founders of the company, started operations over 5 years ago. Since that time, they’ve created some fantastic sample libraries and live clip collections that are tailored specifically to Ableton Live. I’m honored to have joined up with a crew that has such a substantial history of great work!
With that bit of background out of the way, I’m very proud to announce the first product resulting from this partnership: “The Operator Sandbox.” The Sandbox is a sound library that consists of 59 instrument chains based around the Operator FM synthesizer in Ableton Live. Each of the chains is an instrument rack with all 8 macro knobs fully mapped, named, and color-coded for quick inspiration and workflow.
Additionally, there are 300 live clips that take advantage of these instruments, all of which contain complex modulation envelopes and other settings. Of course, all of these features are fully editable to conform to the needs of your project. Just think of this as a huge collection of chunks of inspiration that can be modified and abused to meet your every whim!
The bottom line here is that the Sandbox goes way beyond a sample library, putting a lot of power into the user’s hands. For more information and purchasing options, head on over to the Product Page.

I’m still rocking Live 7. Are these racks at all compatible? I know it says “for Live 8″ right there on the product page, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask.
Unfortunately they are only compatible with Live 8 because Operator underwent some pretty drastic improvements in the latest version, and we’ve also used some devices that are exclusive to Live 8. Thanks for the interest!
Congrats Nick! This will be an exciting venture and I cant wait to hear your contributions to the Covert camp libraries.
Thanks, Chris! I’m really excited about it, too.
