Creating the Moog Vocoder in Ableton Live

Published on Feb 23, 2020 Rishabh Rajan

"Without using programming in Max for Live, I demonstrate how to create a crude representation of the Moog 16 Channel Vocoder using Ableton's devices. You will need Live Suite to do this as the Envelope Follower device which is critical to creating the vocoder is only included in Live Suite."

Ableton Instrument Megapack - the Sequential Circuits OB-6 analog synthesizer

Published on Feb 22, 2020

http://www.expandingsound.com/product...

The OB6 is a monster of a synth. A collaboration between Sequential Circuits and Oberheim that resulted in a beautiful piece of musical gear that hits high notes from both companies. This pack was a collaboration between myself and my friend Dan from the band Electric Dream. They are a synth pop style group, check them out if that's your style of music! He owns this glorious synth and helped me make some of the patches for this Ableton pack. So it's a little bit of me, and a little bit of Dan.

One thing I did a little differently with this pack is the amount of samples I used. I usually use one sample per octave. Some of these instruments rely heavily on their filter movement, so I didn't think that would be enough. I decided to use 2 samples per octave for any synth that I thought had very interesting filter modulation.

I think this pack sounds great for pads and bass! Sequential has a winner on it's hands, and now you have a great taste of the synths capabilities.

This pack includes

25 Multi sampled Ableton Instruments, built from user patches using the Sequential Circuits OB-6."

Making A Techno Track Only Using An Arp2600

Published on Feb 22, 2020 Analog Synthesizer Patch Tutorials

"Making a Techno Track only using an ARP2600

I’ve been watching Ricky Tinez on his YouTube Chanel. Ever since he did his Deckards Dream overview. Lately he’s been talking about DAWLESS live setups and I wondered if I could create a track only using the ARP2600. This is what I ended up with.

This is also a good patch for anyone just getting to know their new Korg Arp2600s. So many people shy away from the voltage processors and Electronic Switch. The patch uses the Voltage Processor as audio mixer, CV inverter and the Lag Processor not as lag but it’s alternate use as 6db low pass filter. The switch is simply alternating between kick and high hat but has so many other uses."

SEQUENTIAL PRO 3 - Overview & Synth Demo by Carson Day

Published on Feb 22, 2020 synth4ever

"Sequential PRO 3 overview, sounds and demo by Carson Day from Sequential. Filmed at Robotspeak in San Francisco, this in-depth synth demo of the Sequential PRO 3 covers nearly every feature and function in detail. In this Sequential PRO 3 overview, Carson takes us through the synth's oscillators, filters, envelopes, effects, sequencer, arpeggiator, feedback, modulation matrix and more while showcasing some sounds.

The Sequential PRO 3 is a hybrid multi-filter mono synthesizer with 60 knobs and 70 buttons, FATAR 37-note semi-weighted keyboard and 3-voice optional paraphony mode (feat. individually gated envelopes per oscillator). The PRO 3 features 3 oscillators (two VCOs + one wavetable), 3 analog filters, 3 LFOs, 4 loopable envelopes, noise, hard sync, glide, tuned feedback, analog distortion, arpeggiator, 16x16x4 sequencer + 16-track sequencer, dual digital effects engines, touch slider and mod wheels, and a staggering 32-slot mod matrix.

All of this together makes the Sequential PRO 3 a powerhouse for sound design, and it is one of the most versatile and flexible mono synths to date. Big thanks to Carson for taking us through the features and functions of the PRO 3 in this demo and overview, and Robotspeak for hosting the event."
