Ableton Live Ultimate Course 44 - Instruments & MIDI Racks Video Lecture | Become the Master of Music Production: Ableton (English)

it was up guys in this video we're gonna
be going over instrument and MIDI racks
they work the same as all your acts but
they go in MIDI channels so let's go
with instrument rack and we'll load up
our devices here our device revving
chain so let's go we'll just use an
operator for now we will select a saw
maybe one with a bit more upper
harmonics and I'll give it a bit of
spread cool I have that so say if I want
to add another device or a synthesizer I
can drop that right down there
and I'll own it and I'll just make kind
of a super saw ish we've we have that
alright so we have these two sounds here
so what can I do I can do a lot of
things I could lets arpeggiate the the
upper sound here for our operator so
adding arpeggiator and it goes right
there right sixteenths and just for fun
we'll add a ping pong delay cool no I'm
coming with this
well we can drop an EQ and a very strong
reverb I'll just double-click to
collapse those
just lost my phone with that there and
I'll compress this so they're both kind
of at the same kind of volume
well my technique I can pitch this up
with a MIDI device so from there I can
you know kind of leave that as is or I
can add a bit of low end so I'll do that
with another operator this is just you
know examples right a nice sine wave and
what I'll do is I'll add an audio effect
I guess I'll add an amplifier and I'll
squish the crap out of it now with that
right so if we take that arpeggiator out
we have this low end here and I'll just
turn that off that was kind of brittle
super saw sound right but when we add
this low-end sine wave in an amplifier
plug-in kind of deep sound and that
works out pretty well and we can map
certain things to our macros like say
we're gonna have a separate filter for
each of these and that works out well
okay let's add another effect rack here
alright so I'm gonna make I'm just gonna
add in two operators I'll put this one
below this cool I'll have one and I want
this one to be burnished all the heck
with interesting harmonics all right we
have that let's just drop in some
effects will go saturator just so things
don't go over a certain volume and what
else do I want here let's see oh come on
there we go dynamic tube
we have that and so let's add a filter
before then we'll boost the the
resonance here cool so we'll close those
and then what you queue it just so we
get just in there so we get that
brittleness coming through problem we've
lost a lot of low-end well we can add a
sub oscillator totally separate from
that chain so it's not affected so we'll
have that and we can make it wobble
because wobbling is fun
we'll play them together and hopefully
my math works out
it's with that broomis I'll just
accentuate it a bit and yeah I guess
we'll get rid of this
just a weird example and then we can
compress that like you know afterwards
just to give it a bit more edge attack
that makes any sense
and we can map both filters to a macro
here just for funsies just as an example
not perfect but you generally get the
idea so another thing we can look at
we'll just get rid of all these so we
have you know just arrangement rack here
MIDI effect racks I don't really use it
that much but it's a good way to kind of
get some interesting our peg eating
patterns you get MIDI running in
parallel instead of just like
sequentially one to another we have that
and then we can add another edge eater
multiple multiple arpeggiator is going
on at once right ink isn't like kind of
interesting pattern right what else can
you have you can just go to town here
I'll pitch won't really do much um you
can adjust the note length for certain
you know arpeggiator that'd be a gate
you can have a scale going into one or
the other and you can add different kind
of skills post I'm about to break
Ableton but yeah you get the idea and
that is your effects you wouldn't really
be using that but you can get some
really interesting
arpeggiating patterns just by stacking
these up and having them at different
kind of rates and speeds
almost like a sequence that sounds
rather broken alright I hope you learned
stuff and we'll be back with some more
fun things
