In this tutorial we have a look at how to make lush Four Tet style pluck melodies, like those found in his song LA Trance. We'll explain the concepts, and then remake it using Xfer Cthulhu as the main arpeggiator, and a combination of Wavetable & Sylenth1 as the synths.

Really loving the channel so far mate. I gotta say, I don't really make music that sounds like anything you make (although I usually like it!), but I love these tutorials because they show a really good work flow. I've been making music for a long time, but I'm relatively new to electronic music and even newer to ableton. You do a great job of showing how to get the sounds in your head into your daw. Cheers.

I totally fell in love with this process. I wanted Cthulu immediately. Asked Xfer if my existing system, based on Maschine would run it. Got a lovely email back from Steve with a No, so I went to work researching Maschine user experiences in Ableton, found some positives, bought a Novation Launchpad mini, which arrived yesterday and at 9 last night I had Cthulu talking strange magic inside a free copy of Ableton live lite. Monster Arp indeed. Thank you so much for the introduction. In my emails with Xfer, I name checked you as the inspiration for my inspiration. You also made me realise how intuitive Ableton is. I'm appreciating this even more as a total newbie in it. Reviewing this video there's quite a jump from where you talk about the VST to showing it arping the chord progression. I can see 3 lanes in white, one of which is titled Arpeggiator, the bass drum marking time in orange, which I assume is the framework. Did you copy the chords into a new midi channel, then drop Cthulu onto it or the other way round I wonder? I will probably be able to work that out by trial and error. As you might read, I'm overexcited.

Fantastic stuff. Even though the examples are in Ableton, these concepts can definitely be taken to other mediums. Excited to give these techniques a try on the Digitone! The former of this channel is so instructive, beyond the individual lessons it's teaching how to analyze music you enjoy to replicate the key elements. Thank you so much for all the great videos!

Really like this one. Instant buy of the Cthulhu for it's arp. If I where to change one thing I would skip the LFO effect and use the built in LFO in Wavetable, just turn off the Retrig on it.
