bonus tip i found after using this device for a while: since we're using ableton's sampler for each individual layer, you can actually use up to 127 different samples inside of one sampler, essentially making it work in a round-robin fashion. if you select each individual sample and distribute them equally by velocity inside the zones panel, and then add a velocity device in the layer before the sampler, and set the "out low, out hi, and random" parameters to 64, each note will trigger a random velocity, which in turn should trigger a different sample. it gives you some more freedom to not stick to just one sample per layer :) thanks for the tips as always, and much love
Gorgeous pads on this vid, would love a tutorial on creating those.

Dude. I've been doing sound design for almost five years and this technique has just directly resulted in some of, if not _the_ coolest stuff I've ever made. After a long period of feeling creatively inadequate, this is genuinely an "a-ha" moment. From the bottom of my heart, thank you guys for doing what you do. For me, these videos are the definition of inspirational.
Arcа definitely uses this in their tracks
what a great narrator it makes me feel ACID LIKE
another masterpiece 😦😦😦
Good lord, this aesthetic. The video was a work of art in itself.
Top tier video, excited to try everything out
ableton sound design returns with pure art !!
instant subscription, this is hands down the best sound design tutorial ive ever seen! will be paying for the patreon real soon!
this FED ME😭💙💙 ily and your videos ☮️
I'm not getting tired to say, this is the best channel on youtube
jeez, your editing and aesthetics had me ready to sub within the first couple minutes of this video lol. i don’t even use ableton but im gonna soak up as much knowledge as i can !
absolutely beautiful and inspiring. Love your presentation style! even though it's a bit rough for me sometimes, I find it very original and refreshing. Big ups!
seeing an asd upload is like a birthday present
That tune at the end........Geeez. Awesome visual work too. Really inspiring . Thanks again.
I appreciate this cause i dont really dive that much into nested racks and devices in ableton and this lets me explore it a little more now
the level of production and advanced knowledge is next level, thank you!
That final bop was bangin
That track at the end is an absolute banger omg
Very nice! Instead of using the chord device, you could use the note routing tab in the drum rack to make all the pads respond to the same input note. I use the note routing tab alot to route pads for old drum machines.
This channel is so criminally undersubbed lol. Another banger
the ending is sooo beautiful
i love this channel so much
Insane quality again!
What an incredible tutorial. Very thorough. Also thoughtful about the mindset when it comes to sound design. Thank you. 🙏
Wow. Super cool rack with a plethora of uses. I ended up loading guitar samples into each slot and tuning them into a chord in sampler, lowered the pitch randomness to 0, then resampled them and added additional processing and chopped them into a progression. Super super crazy rack, and I really love this channel. Please keep them coming!!!
absolutely insane, thank you
I cannot tell you how much this video has benefitted me as a producer. I am not very knowledgeable on the ins and outs of Ableton, and I had never created my own instrument or used the mapping function before following this video. All of this while being entertaining! I can't thank you enough!
NEW ASD LETS GOOO
hell yeah this is coool!.Super dope way to be able to control the amount of randomness. Will try something out 2morrow. I also find it amusing to use the expression control w. velocity, and then randomize velocity inside the midiclip = instant modulation sequences w/o m4L. Anyway thx 4 inspo. digital regards
Even though I don't use Ableton I still like the concepts presented in your videos and seeing how it can be applied to other daws!😁I'm gonna see if I can do something like this in Alchemy.

This video series has made me really consider getting ableton, but I'm applying a lot of the concepts to Reason right now and it's still very educational!
Thank you for this video
Why was I not subbed to this? Absolute gold
been waiting for a new video !
ooooo you're back
very nice! i got excited to make my own impactor rack :D and the demo in the end was HEAVENLY. i use ableton as my main DAW, and your argument that its modularity sets it apart from other DAWs is fair, but for example Bitwig's Grid and FL Studio's Patcher are options that are just as modular. Probably someone can do similar things in Reaper, too, if they aren't afraid of coding and menu diving, lol :-D
Thank you for what you do!
Best channel on youtube
masterpiece
Thank you - I Freakin Love Your Videos 👊.
My favourite tips&tricks channel on this platform. I like really a lot the fact that it's not only a "to sound like this do that" but you have a sort of ethical philosophy around that is similar to mine. It looks like you like a lot producing, making sounds and try to spread some creativity to others because you want to see people doing cool material to listen about. Keep being yourself dude, even if you reach good numbers with this videos keep the line please! 👁👄👁

So good. This made me want a creative reverb/delay trick video to combine with it though..
wow thank you
Thank you from the Earth
ending to this video is insane
INCREIBLE, GRACIAS
Regardless of who the person/people are behind this channel, I am enormously thankful for it's existance. I have learned so much and as some others have said: That ending... I would love to have that track to listen to every morning. Hauntingly eclectic and beautiful in it's anarchic might! Thank you, whoever you are. And thank you even more if the outro piece becomes available.

AMO ESTE CANAL!!! Y ni siquiera uso ableton
Amazing 😻
Love it
ive tried duplicating chains in the instrument rack and changing the samples and i think it does the same effect!
tysm for inspiration
I need those visuals in my life, I really fuckin do.
thanks for sharing this! Still I feel like I wouldn't be able to build the samples you use... is there any video where you explain how to make them?
A tutorial on how to make the pad at 11:27 would be great !

It will be cool if you put a video tutorial on how to eq and compress on this kind of music type. i feel like i cant never put a melody or so lol I want everything to sound loud
I love this kind of tricks that allowed you to creat a infinite soundbank ! But i don't know if it's possible to recreate that kind of rack with reaper or any vst on the market (especially the expression control of ableton who can randomise everything)?
Is the song at the end released anywhere? Sounds amazing ❤️
Sorry if you answered this many times before; Do you mind sharing what effect(s) is/are on the voice-over? who's the star of that vocal chain, which emulates that sick extraterrestrial vibe? im a big fan of the feel of theses videos, it's so out of this world, but cohesively so. Even the types of sounds that come from the the processes you've shown, are blissful and jarring at the same time, just like the overall production . you've made straight up masterpieces with this series. So even if you don't respond..Thank You!

Great video! love the samples you chose for the demonstration. I'd like to know a little bit more about the process of selecting/recording your own samples. Did you recorded them by yourself or you hand-select them online, what's your approach? Thx in advance!

Ah finally some angelic fucking NOISE
hey !! awesomevideo !! just wondering, around the time i duplicated my initial layer in the drum rack, the variation almost completely stopped working. i dont know if this is something to do with a bug in expression control? but the sample all of a sudden defaults to -48 st and just alternates between -48 to -47, each other macro only modulating by tiny 0.1% fragments at most. this could be me not correctly following the tut or something else. if someone else has had this issue + found a resolution let me know !

I just came across the same issue at 9:26. Expression Control has a bug. If you leave it expanded, then copy the chain to a new drum pad, it will work. But if you collapse Expression control and copy to a new drum pad, it will unmap everything in the "mapping" area from the very first instrument rack. Annoying... maybe there is an update?
Honey wake up asd just posted 😩
Hey there everyone ! I'm stuck at the instrument rack construction. I cannot affect any macro to my delay effect, it doesn't appear in green when I try to map it. Can someone help me ? Thanks !
i couldn't find audio effect rack by vocoder driven audio effect rack in patreon ㅠ where can i find it? ( iam membership tho)
Another Idea might be to ditch the Sampler in favour of Simpler. That leaves you without the reverse option BUT you could use something like Simpler Buddy to randomly automate through the different Warp Modes.
This is so fucking cool
how do i get voice effect like the video?
Woooow! Wondering if the finished impactor rack device would work on Push3 in standalone? That would be Insane! Anybody tried it yet ?
YOOOOO!!!
Is there any technical reason why you didnt use several channels of an instrument rack to make the diffent layers? this would allow for an unlimited number of layers
