Ableton Live Ultimate Course 21 - Corpus; Resonators & Vocoder Video Lecture | Become the Master of Music Production: Ableton (English)

there was up guys in this video I'm
going to be going over three devices
that deal with harmonics and like
resonance and upper harmonics and lower
harmonics and all sorts of stuff I'm not
an expert in these and this is gonna be
my second time trying to explain one of
them so wish me luck all right so I have
a vocal here and it is used in a lot
drop I have that right so the first one
is corpus and how I'm going to describe
it is you know how if when you sing in
the shower
you kind of sound better because well
you know in theory because you're
hearing your own voice but your voice is
actually reflecting off the walls of
your shower and mixing with the voice
that you're singing so you create like a
richard harmonic that's kind of what
you're getting here what corpus does it
physically models reflective surfaces
right so kind of weird but yeah I'll
give you a listen so we have this
completely dry dr. B we have this and
this is beam so this is a hundred
percent wet what it's doing is it's it's
emulating I was modeling the reflection
you know off surfaces and there's
multiple surfaces you have here like a
pipe like if you yell into a tube like a
didgeridoo or whatever it's called you
can go full and that's full emulation be
dropping you can hear it's kind of like
it's kind of like you putting a speaker
in a tube and you listening to it
you have you know a few options to K and
radius each one has their own kind of
modeling right you can hear that now
it's just a really interesting effect
that's pretty fun you have you can
offset the listening position of your
left and right a weird type of weird
psycho acoustic effect you have your
decay which is how far the case that
would be drop
some interesting stuff going on there
and you can also filter the response and
modulate you know the amount drop the
beat drop the beat drop the beat drop
the beat drop the beam cut the beam
Jacobi drop right you can get some
really interesting and weird sounds and
the reflection like the sound of the
reflection you can tune right so now you
have your C which is your middle C which
is this and you can tune it to whatever
the source material is and then slightly
spread it so the left and right have
different tunings alright that is corpus
I'm not an expert in it I'm definitely
not an expert in this next one but I'm
gonna try to get it
resonator so what this does is this is
kind of like a harmonizer so you have
your root note and two and three is left
and then four and five is right I
believe wait so what this does is this
will split the signal up into a few
parts here we have our center channel
here B so what this does is this shifts
the the formats over to make it sound
like there's more than one person
singing this effect is used in a lot of
spunk all tracks a lot of psytrance
and all that so you can kind of simulate
a rich harmony in a weird a natural way
by using this drama B drama B drama B
drama B drama B drama B if you go
completely wet and the filter kind of
filters things up jumpy jumpy drop the
beat jumpy jumpy
and that's a little bit busy hey it just
does really weird interesting things you
have constant which constantly so the
lower lower frequencies decay longer
than the higher ones or yeah lower notes
decay are longer your width which is
your stereo width so you can get a
really kind of interesting effect using
this used in conjunction with say like a
course or a reverb you can really make
something sound interesting and the last
one is a vocoder so when you listen to
Kraftwerk this is what you get is what
what it does is it takes the signal
splits it up into bands and you can
select how many bands you want to split
up into and it modulates each one so you
can have an input that will modulate it
so I will go right so I have my synth
right next to me right simple saw wave
chords and what I'll do is I'll have
external input from we have it input
from a three track three that's where
the sounds coming from and we'll play it
and nothing's happening that's because
we're not having an input of the synth
sound so you'll get when you start
playing notes it could be from a VST it
could be from a vocal source you can
have a vocal modulating a lead or a like
a lead modulating vocal and this is a
look at classic vocoder sound so you get
some Beastie Boy stuff going on there
you can alter the range and the amount
of bands
so obviously less bands is kind of like
a dirty or vintage sound
right and you can increase the band's to
40 thing moving gotta be fine be gentle
be hurt then that's just moving up and
down the keyboard with a simple saw wave
you can enhance so that makes everything
writer write and you can mix wet and dry
again not an expert on any of these
plugins but I kind of understand broadly
how they work
there's also your gate some gate for say
if you have a microphone I neither
wanted to you don't want the ambient
noise to modulate what you're doing you
have that and now uh that's pretty much
it for these hope you learn stuff and
we're gonna be back with some more fun
stuff
alright everyone
