This is very cool..... I'm more of a 'build it myself' guy rather than a 'download' someone else's work' type, but what I don't understand about the arp stage of the sequencer is just how certain note placements are achieved without some kind of off-set function. Also; whether or not there is a gate-ing or muting aspect to why it doesn't kick out a bunch of messy/incoherent drum sequences amongst the good stuff. Would love a deeper look under the hood.
Hey thank u for your comment and I got answers for both of these question :) I avoid incoherent drum sequences by manually pre-making all the possible patterns and limit the kick for example to only be played by patterns I’ve specifically made for kick drums, same with the other samples. Now what’s happening with the arpeggiators is easiest to explain if I show you the signal flow of the midi-notes One long held midi note comes in -> gets pitched to C1 -> that C1 goes into a MIDI Arp set to +7 steps and +1st -> arp now plays at for example 1/8th note speed and gives out C1, C#1, D1, D#1, E1, F1, F#1 and G1 (because of the +7 steps and an increase of +1 semitone for each step) -> MIDI notes going from C1-G1 now go through another MIDI-Effect-Rack that has parallel Pitch devices, which are set to only let certain notes through If I for example use 3 pitch devices in parallel and set them to C1, D1 and D#1 then only the first, third and fourth 1/8th note would be let through to the drum rack. These pitch devices then also tune those 3 notes back to C1 so that it can trigger only one cell in the drum rack.
@@VirtualRiot - That's amazing.... Thx so much for taking the time for such a full answer....... Your work is inspiring. Best of luck in all your future projects!
I find it somehow funny you use selection logic for sound signals (notes) as control (trigger) signals. Reminds me of the fun surprise that the dial tone in old phones and that pzzzkriiuuldidididi in old modems actually was the message for the next machine, not some kind of collatoral system sound. It works :)
Ich steh gerade am Anfang mit Ableton und geh kaputt, wenn ich sehe was du für crazy Ideen hast xD Es muss so geil sein das Programm so sehr zu beherrschen. Huge respect an dich
HERE IT IS!! The baby sensory video. As a beginner in production and working with daws still (only been working with fl for about.. a year to date.) the stuff you talk about keeps me on my toes. I heard you were doing some master classes for ableton and if it weren’t for my wallet, my god would I participate. All of this is to say, thank you for sharing these kinds of things. My tiny brain may not understand fully, but I know the shit you do is absolutely insane.
Dude😮 du bist zu crazy 😜 das ist schon sehr SEHR geil!ich kann nicht warten das mal zu checken, danke das ist bestimmt auch für andere Sachen ein guter Weg sequences zu randomizen 🎉 mega danke!!
That’s because you can’t do half the things you can do on FL that you can in ableton. Also everyone I know that produces in FL never gets this in depth with the work, seems like mostly lazy producers use FL.
I wanted to get the Patreon stuff before now I have to. I love the VR super slicer is great to play with, I made a crazy gltichstep track with it that's coming out soon. Thank you and keep up the great tutorials 🙂
This is the coolest shit ive seen in years man, that was some big fucking brain manoeuvres getting this all to work, its incredible how well it runs, i will getting your patreon as soon as possible man this looks radd!!, and the drum creator thing to is genius, cant wait to use them, the possibilitiesss are endlessss, would be interested to see if you could contact a company and produce this into some kind of vst ?
Val, you make me wanna quit because there’s 10 year olds who started 2 months ago making better music than I was making after years of production since 2010. Why am I keeping up with newbies, they should be keeping up with me I feel lololol 😂 Very sick man, you make pushing the sound/techniques to new heights look easy
I’m on the arpeggiator for “repeat note” drum features but all of your extra extra processing it goes next level! 😍 And can you record the arpeggio with pitch to velocity? I have ta try that now.
So cool man ! I did a complete tb303 with stepseq/patterns and a/b section with this arpeggio method. I can send you a google drive link if you wanna have a go :)
You could also set this up without arpeggiators like you hinted at with the Note Echo MIDI effect, theoretically you could do each hit of a pattern as an individual chain in a MIDI rack, use the note echo to shift it to the right in synced values first to set where in the pattern the sound should play, then add another unsynced note echo to each chain that needs to have swing, map all these unsynced note echoes to a macro so you get a global swing amount for the pattern. I don't know what the CPU use would be on that because you would need a lot of MIDI devices, but this way you could get even more control over the types of patterns you could make.
I like this! So far every pattern is also its own midi-effect-chain, re-making every pattern again with midi delays sounds tedious but I’ll try and throw together a simplified version and see how it goes :) thanks for the tip!!
At this point I'm kinda confused, that he isn't doing max 4 live :D A bunch of stuff would be *way* easier for *him*, and he could create a much better UI for the user as well. :D But I also do appreciate that he's sticking to stock devices, to show how powerful they are, when you actually dig into them.
