I will share with you unusual procedures, workflows and tips that you can personalise and adapt to your sound and taste. And from time to time upload some live performances.
RU-vid is overflowing with great tutorials showing how to operate electronic music gear. In this channel instead we focus on how to use gear in a creative and unique way.

I am a musician, scientist and producer who loves analog synthesizers and creative digital effects. I love both worlds.

In this channel I will also post my live performances as I evolve with my live setup, sharing tips and workflows that I found useful or that I like to adopt. Techno, ambient, IDM and Electronica are the genres that I mess around the most, but I always strive to create some kind of fresh sound or vibe inspired to those genres.

Based in Berlin, the European capital of Techno but originally from Italy, the world capital of Pasta.

Thanks for the video! Best explanation. One little tip from me (took me about 20 minutes of frustration) - for the FX block sequencer to work it can't be muted (mine was)...

What's the music for 1:47, 5:32? I think it's cool. That modulation is crazy. And I listened to your music on Spotify. It's very cool. Translations can be awkward

@solarj

Thanks 🫶 wow with the matriarch you can go even more crazy, i think the DFAM is as good as the subharmonicon for patching.

Nice. Thanks for sharing. Does that mean that we completely bypass Syntakt FX Block and make all the FX in Ableton?
@solarj
@solarj Месяц назад
Thanks for the nice comment :) If you mean the reverb and delay you can also have those as a separate track in Ableton (I quickly assign that output to an Ableton channel when I’m finishing setting up the inputs in the video). If you mean the FX track I am not sure how that is handled - didn’t try/investigate yet. But I guess it will just affect the outputs of the tracks that are routed into it?
@dm65582
@dm65582 2 месяца назад
Unfortunately a waste of time. Thanks for mentioning the very basic connection. I was hoping to get more information about how the send effects (delay, reverb…) can be applied on the separate tracks in ableton. They work in the sum but not in the separate tracks. Where can I add a return channel for those fx? For me it’s not an option to not use them.
