Ableton

Sunday Synth Jam: This video captures a Berlin school style synth jam and improvisaton, via attorks, A Smooth Theme:

Kind of inspired by DoctorVague and Ian Boddy (when in Red Shift), I am experimenting with Ableton Live to see if it can be a help in analog sequencing.

I have 2 MIDI tracks and 1 track with a drum loop. One MIDI track controls the self-built Modular and the 2nd MIDI track the Creamware MiniMax ASB.

Both MIDI tracks have several clips with looping 8 step sequence in different keys. But I have not found out how to change the clip of the 2 MIDI track at the same time and at the right bar so I click the clip on each track which causes the odd discrepancy in clips/keys and changing too soon; sorry for that.

The melody is performed on the Roland XP-80 with a Mellotron voice. The Waldorf is doing what a Waldorf is good at; making these Waldorf sounds. The soloing is done on the Clavia Nord Lead 1 with an organ-type voice.

Sunday Synth Jam: Performed and recorded on February 4th 2010, this is the second installment of Progtronica’s weekly DJ performance series.  Read more…

Detunized has introduced La Ramona Synthesizers, a new sound library for Ableton Live that features the sounds of the Vermona Synthesizer:

• “Hammer” is good for strange textures.
• “Zirkel” is a kind of 303 bass synth. The original Vermona filter is featured here.
• “Aehrenkranz” can be fitted with 133 different oscillators carrying a great variety of Vermona sounds. It is also excellent for messing around with phase shiftings.

This is a demo video for Video Pianner:

I’ve been testing Max For Live out with Jitter over the past few months and the other day I realized I didnt have anything to show for it so I put this together.

The clips were just lying around – not made specially for this – but they are largely in time and I went through them the other day putting them vaguely in tune.

What it doesnt show in the video is the ability to sequence the clips using midi tracks in Live.

Ableton users, apparently put out by the company’s recent decision to focus on fixing Ableton Live bugs over adding new features, have issued their demands:

Ableton,

We are tired of your endless excuses and inability to deliver. The pain you have caused many of us is inexcusable, insensitive, and thoughtless.

Therefore, we’ve put together the following DEMANDS.

We are watching and waiting.

Seem reasonable to you?
