Es-K Performs Using MPC into Effect Rack

video upload by soundtoys

"Live from The Soundtoys Cave! Watch as producer Es-K performs a beat using his MPC Live and a MIDI controller mapped to Soundtoys Effect Rack. Similar to the performance style of the SP404, this particular setup provided flexibility on which effects and parameters Es-K could control during the beat performance. Ableton Live was used to host Effect Rack and map the controls to the knobs and pads on the Akai MPK Mini.

Shoutout to Teeba for creating the samples used in this beat! 🔥"

"Beat Loop Manipulation Week
April 4, 2023

Beat loops are the bedrock of electronic music and the backbone of hip-hop. For decades, they’ve significantly influenced the development and intersection of other genres and subgenres including dance, pop, R&B, and reggaeton.

The primitive beat loop was created by manipulating tape, but the advent of digital technology has propelled this art into a new dimension. Modern beat magic isn’t simply chopping, splicing, reversing, and looping – it involves altering sound elements to create unique rhythmic patterns. With advanced software and high-quality tools, musicians and producers can create intricate, layered beats once unimaginable.

Bop along as we dive into a week of beat loop manipulation using Soundtoys effects and get inspired to contribute to the ever-evolving sound of contemporary music:

Bass Processing with Soundtoys Effect Rack

Parallel processing is the method of sending the original dry signal to another auxiliary track, processing it extremely, and then dialing it back in with the dry signal. This helps preserve the clarity of the original timbre while emphasizing whatever fx you wish to add in a very subtle manner.

In this video, check out how parallel processing can be applied to a bass track. Download the free Effect Rack presets below to try it yourself:
