Happy little synth
Man, I just tried the delay trick and got the most UNBELIEVABLE pad I've ever heard. This is game-changing!
Would love to see how you take this fleshed out section and turn it into a full track. Sounds killer!

Part 2 and Part 3 are on my Patreon! Part IV will be out in a few days.
I would love to see more "How to make ambient music" using your guitar and pedalboard. Hands on with your pedals and how to's. 👌
I enjoyed watching, I can tell making music brings you great joy!
I'm doing Ambient DAW-less because I'm doing it live but you make a DAW very attractive. sounds wonderful.

Fantastic moood💪
Very good tutorial !!
Nice very nice !
Man, this turned out being very reminescent of the kind of music from Deus EX and Splinter Cell series, which is awesome! Thank you for sharing your insights, sir!
You Are best tutorial od ambient in the world !!!!
Your videos are outstanding.
Thank you master
Okay, I finally gave in and signed up on the Patreon. Your stuff is very inspiring. While I don't use a lot of the same software, because Surge XT is the most accessible synth for a screen reader with sound design chops, so I suspect your presets won't do me as much good. I've actually got a track that I made inspired by listening to your tutorials. While it's a bit different, and not pure as I also added three viola tracks I played, I think it achieves some good stuff. I'm looking forward to becoming part of your community of listeners, creators and students.

Thank you Christopher! Looking forward to having you as well. Can’t wait to hear your new music!
Love your work! I always dream of creating a pad (patch) that gets gradually textured to the point where some dynamic rhythms emerge from the general movement of the texture itself. I just tried interpolation in Max 8.5 lately with the object pattrstorage, but it doesn't interpolate the [VST3] object. If you are interested in that idea, i'd love to have your expert point of view on it. Maybe it's not possible to "quantize" and "unquantize" this type of "spectrotemporal organic" evolution, from texture to rhythms. Just a challenge, from the dream to the real! Thanks again for your publications. Martin
молодец ,круто!!!
Thanks bro, welcome back! You're making the best videos on ambient. Hope you hit 10k soon you deserve it. I create traditional ceramic flutes of my ancestors and want to encorporate these into my sound design. Have started learning synthesis to bring more musicality. Now I have to focus on the journey my music takes the listener on without being flat and boring.
13:40 I think you were channelling Klaus Schulze here :D

Simple, precise and packed with knowledge. Nailed it once again! Still liking your Mercury 7?

Stepic is also available as a VST. It works in any DAW except FL Studio due to the way FL handles cc’s…
