modular synthesis

In this official Ableton Live demo video, Live guru Gustavo Bravetti demonstrates a modular approach to using Live’s clip unlinked envelopes and effects to create elaborated sequenced sounds.

Bravetti also looks at how to create a bass, a tuned bass drum, a clap and hi hats.

Dan Kirkhus demonstrates using Ableton Live with a handful of LFO type wav files to modulate external analog gear:

(if you’re not interested in the “how” and just want to see the frostwave spaz out, jump to 3:30 or so.) this stuff *only* works with MOTU audio interfaces (see: volta). this is an easy and free way to send beat-synced LFOs to your outboard modular gear; moogerfoogers, sherman filterbank, little phatty… anything with a CV input.

i recommend setting the warp method to “Re-Pitch” to keep LFOs smooth at extreme BPMs. or don’t… and get cool glitches.

You can download Dan’s LFO files here – but don’t blow your monitors with them!

This video shows how Ableton Live’s drum racks and simple waves can be used to send CV.

This is all just the Frostwave Resonator under CV control, making a nice racket.

Plug-ins used :the o-scope is a demo of schope by schwa at http://stillwellaudio.com/ . fuzzplus2 (fuzz) and rough rider (compressor) from http://www.audiodamage.com/ and TAL-dub-II delay from http://kunz.corrupt.ch/ .

This is a video demo of the MoonModular M525 reversible attenuator.

We use 3 different CV- sources via M591 matrix router: one LFO ramp and one LFO rectangle and one M511c.

This is another MOTM demo via JohnLRice:

Just some fun trying to rework a patch using a Synth Tech MOTM-510 WaveWarper module to sound more like the opening of Deep Purple’s song Space Truckin’. inspired by Attorks!

It really does sound much better played extremely loud!!!!
