Making a track from scratch with Launchkey

00:15 - Creating chords for a track with Launchkey
01:51 - Making a bassline for a track with Launchkey
04:42 - Laying down drums on a track with Launchkey
06:30 - Making an Arp pattern with Launchkey
08:15 - Using Fixed Chord Mode on Launchkey
10:05 - Tips when performing or jamming on Launchkey

"In this video, we create a track from scratch, finishing with a fully built-out song, utilising all of Launchkey’s creative features and the stock plugins available in Ableton Live Lite.

Starting with chords to establish the tone of the track, Rob uses Scale Mode and Chord Map to inspire melodic chord progressions. He progresses the track by adding the bass, then introduces the lead melody to work with and enhance the chords. Using performance modifiers, he transforms the chords by separating notes into melodic lines, while drums bring the track all together, with the help of Launchkey’s onboard Sequencer, making programming percussion easy. Rob also uses the Arpeggiator to create a melodic line that sits on top of the track.

Watch to the end of this video, where Rob performs live with Ableton’s clip launching, to arrange the elements in a live setting. He offers tips on performing and jamming live with Launchkey and Ableton, including using the encoders to adjust plugin parameters in real time and creating sweeping transitions that energise the arrangement.

Read the breakdown of Rob's process here."

Cut-up Drums & Synth Layers with Prophet-10 and OP-1 field | Solver 2025-11-20 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and YAMAHA MOTIF-RACK ES.

It features cut-up drum patterns layered with synth harmonies and melodic lines.

On the Prophet-10, synth pads are performed and processed with reverb using the blueSky.

On the OP-1 field, recorded drum performances are sampled, rearranged, and played back as reconstructed patterns. The sequence is controlled via MIDI from Ableton Live. Used effects include the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII and the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY.

The bassline is generated using Omnisphere.

Melodies and additional parts are performed on the MOTIF-RACK ES, completing the arrangement."

"Generative Sequencer: Ableton Air https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

Perfect for Experimental and Ambient Music
Whether you're crafting immersive ambient soundscapes, exploring experimental electronica, or composing intricate minimal music, "Air" provides the tools to elevate your creativity. Its generative approach ensures that no two performances are ever the same, offering a fresh perspective with every playback.
Features Designed for Limitless Inspiration
Evolving Sequences: Generate infinitely unique patterns that never repeat.
Customizable Settings: Fine-tune parameters to align with your artistic vision.
Seamless Integration: Designed for Ableton Live users who value creativity and experimentation.
Create Music That Breathes

Minimal Electronic with norns shield, NTS-1 Loop EG, OP-1 field : Star Trail 2025-10-24 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with norns shield, ‪@KORG_INC‬ NTS-1, and ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field — a minimal ambient composition where looping envelopes, micro-loops, and sustained tones intertwine to form delicate textures.

On the norns shield, the sines script is used to generate various types of sustained tones, controlled via the monome grid. The output is routed through ‪@HologramElectronics‬ MICROCOSM with the GLITCH effect applied.

The NTS-1 receives MIDI sequencing from Ableton, with the envelope generator set to loop, creating finely textured rhythmic particles. Its output passes throug ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY, adding reverb and a lo-fi character.

On the OP-1 field, sampled vocal sounds are used to create harmonies triggered by MIDI from Ableton. A touch of delay from ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII is added, while the TAPE mode is used to generate micro-loops with a warm, lo-fi tone."

This Synth Has Soul – Sequential Fourm Ambient Performance

video upload by Sineway

"I didn’t expect a dry, mono analog synth to sound alive. But the Sequential Fourm has something different - I'd go as far as saying it has a soul.

This performance is completely free-form: no tempo, no MIDI. I built a flute-like patch that reacts to touch in unpredictable, musical ways and just recorded it in one take. It's using polyphonic aftertouch, but there's something else going on that seems to come from the filter feedback and envelope.

Reverb and delay were added in Ableton to bring it all to life. I then recorded a couple of other layers in the same way, all from the Fourm.

❤️ Support my work and download the flute patch used in this jam by joining the Patreon community: / sineway

► Reverb and Delay: Ableton's Hybrid Reverb and Air Delay Pro
► Recorded live, no quantization, no midi
► Genre: Ambient? (Let me know if I'm off here - it's my first in this genre!)"

Strymon SuperKar+ (Part 4) Chord Voice w/ Magneto, BitBox Micro, XPO, and ZPO

video upload by Rheyne

"The ‪@strymon‬ SuperKar+ Chord Voice through a Strymon Magneto. Percussion is from a BitBox Micro, bass is from a Make Noise XPO, and the background synth voice is from a Steady State Fate ZPO.

Loops are from Ableton Live, with a Korg SQ-64 acting as a MIDI to CV converter. Ableton's clock is randomized by CV Tools stepped-random LFOs. The Strymon Magneto is clocked by the kick drum trigger. Reverb is from Ableton Live. Recorded in one take.

SuperKar+ is a Eurorack voice module that uses Karplus-Strong synthesis to create the sound of plucked or bowed strings, struck or blown pipes or tubes, or a suite of other sounds."
