Ableton Simpler Synth Tutorial

Музыка

In this lesson we go over the very powerful and often overlooked Simpler device and how you can use it in conjunction with other ableton devices to create complex synth sounds. Ableton Live Lite and Intro users can do all this here as well. Here we loop raw single cycle waveforms that we import into Live and drop into simpler. We then expand upon this technique by grouping multiple simplers into an instrument rack, add effects, then map macro controls to create a fully original and awesome sounding synth!
Get the single cycle waveforms here: github.com/VoidVertex/Sounds/...

    Thanks Im gonna turn some guitar sounds into synths. Question...if you get a sound that you want to use in harmony can you set the pitch to middle C or A 440 to mix your new synth sound with keys and violins etc?

    These are some of the best ableton tutorials on KZread, thank you so much! Instead of "How to make a Skrillex Style Bassline" and stuff which you see so muchhere, you give us an introduction to the tools themselves to get to know your own ideas and style. In no other tutorial does my brain spin off into "Oh! I could use [this] for [that] and then [this other thing]" every 30 seconds

    Seed to Stage is absolutely the best Ableton KZread out there by a mile. Watching this to get a refresher. Man why do you need anything else but this? All I can think of is the presets that synths come with, which perhaps gets you there faster. But otherwise, seems like you can literally do anything with Simpler. Sometimes I think I should have saved a lot of money and just got really good at Simpler.

    Before watching this video, for me, simpler was almost a default function that Ableton chose to use when I wanted to performance a particular type of action. But over the past couple of years, simpler has become my favorite plugging to use with Ableton. It is such a powerful synth! I can’t believe what it can do. I would love to see a video that revisits this instrument. You have such a deep understanding of Ableton and a wonderful way of teach it. Thank you so much for making this video. It has changed so much of how I use Ableton.

Worth noting that you can do all this with any sample in Simpler by retuning it once it's imported. - Import your sample into Simpler - Reduce and loop it to create a tone (as in the tutorial) - Then tune that tone using the 'transpose' and 'detune' functions under the 'Controls' tab - Boom - new sound
