Video

I have no idea, too many years ago im afraid. Most likely the stock Ableton reverb

Like IDM usually do 😂

😂

I really enjoy your videos! Thank you very insightful.

Thats good! If you are an Ableton user, you should def dive into Operator. I would argue its one of the best FM synths out there

@@TheFellowPassenger I use reaper but thanks anyway :D

?

😂

Firstly, DEXED sounds fantastic, but would say yes, there is a bit of difference. Think it is due to the DACs, but also, if you send the dexed default patch, that weird little sequenced one to the TX7 it sounds different. Regardless i would get it if the price is good. As you will be able to sell it if you don't want to keep it.

@@TheFellowPassenger Great, thanks for taking the time to reply, I appreciate it!

unfortunately it doesn't work with mine somehow

Yes and no, yes as in you can use an LFO to cycle through the modes, and no, the transition will not be seemless, it will just jump between modes. I think an interesting application is that you can use a sequencer to do the mode change,

I absolutely love the fm sound, and how quickly i can get the type of sounds i enjoy using.

Yes that is it! I think we will move towards using AI as a toll that way

Yes you are right. Sting is great. It has swing too, which mine doesn't have. And mine have the ability to drift in and out of fixed sequences

Ha i never finished it

Well found out about 20 seconds after I posted my comment that theres a legacy version of the Expression Control! I guess thats what I get for using my Collections :)

Yes more clicks needed compared to the old one. I have set mine up with my preferred settings and saved it as a template

Oh and you can still use the old expression control too

In other words, did you solve it? Otherwise you could try clicking the top right corner of the expression control, and set it to 'remote' rather than 'modulate'

@@TheFellowPassenger Yes I solved it thank you! I saw in their release notes that they'd addressed automation issue with the vst3, but apparently not these ones. I reverted to vst2 and it works :)

😂

😂 let FM be FM and let a real piano be a real piano

Thank you for the explanation. I have now acquired a whole bunch of yamaha fm synths and one casio phase distortion synth and they all treat the envelopes in a similar way

I can get only agree

I do not I'm afraid. I have been looking into exactly this last week. I almost expected there to be some AI uspcaling tool, but not found anything. But feel it must be a matter of time before this comes.

@@TheFellowPassenger right, some form of dithering and exciting might help, right?

It’s going go continue whether you like it or not. We’ll simply have more music and more tools for artists. Your idea of regulating creativity makes me shudder. It’s antithetical to creativity. Your opinion stinks.

@@tendrel_sound Where did I say we need to regulate creativity. Either debate my actual points or keep it to yourself.

@@arpaddanos9416 You said “the use of it (AI) in creative spaces should be massively regulated”. How about we regulate paintbrushes, video cameras, and guitars? See how stupid that sounds? AI is a tool like any other tool artists have at their disposal. Why would you want to regulate a tool which can do no harm? Your argument comes from an emotional place, not a logical one.

@@tendrel_sound OK, so say there are a group of artists who insist that the blood of children from a certain part of the world makes for the finest inks. Or another sculptor who lives in the middle of NYC and insists that they make works from a combination of explosives and plutonium (the ingredients of dirty bombs), because its simply the most metal material you can use. Or imagine a of group feather artists (actual situation) that uses feathers from certain endangered/extinct birds to make colorful lures because no other feathers will do in their opinion. Should the use of any of these artistic tools be regulated?

@@arpaddanos9416 no

I can so sympathise with your drum sound design statement. I think, even artists have different aspects they are passionate about. And yes, I think artists and listeners who are passionate will see through the "new noise floor" of mass generated stuff and still make interesting music and find interesting music to listen to. Even though how the music is found and made may develop with the technological progress.

Ha, yes, part of me love it, but I would rather it being by choice. It reminds me of when streaming lofi audio clips at online record shops, and then when I bought the record I was disappointed it sounded too clean. I think the bitrate issue will disappear. I almost expected there to be AI tools out there already that would be able to upscale this, but have not found anything yet.

One of the few comments here that actually gets what we're facing

Yes I think that is correct. I can see two parts of this, one being how we as artists can stay above the generated noise. The other will be for the listeners to find better ways to find quality music, no matter how it is made. Difficult to comprehend where this will end. I think there may be a bigger split between people who love music, either making or listening and people who do not care very much and just want something to listen to. Regardless of AI, I think a sense of this split already exists, but will be much more prominent. I wonder what impact this will have on "live music". I suspect things like Gorilaz, Abba Voyage and Hatsune Miku are just the infancy of non real human stage events.

@@TheFellowPassenger Even without AI music is worthless nowadays. Music can be produced at practically zero cost, tons of tutorials etc. We have zero filters and quality control because you don't need labels anymore. Unless you produce something trendy or have name from before you doomed to achieve any success. There are probably 100x times more producers than 20 years ago all competing for the same user base.

hahaha imagine doing that for real, now we can just write some shitty prompts to get that degraded effect. A bit like buying ready torn jeans 🤣

I would say you have to be a bit soulless yourself to uncritically welcome this new technology because of the easy things it can do for you. Some of the original architects of the technology are shocked at how fast it progressed, and are now very concerned about it, calling for regulation, and many of them are starting to realize that these systems are not just machines but a sort of form of new life. Is it ethical to use them like this? And these systems are very clearly built by absorbing the creativity of artists without their consent, and ultimately the venture capitalists are making the profits, not those whose literal human creativity has been mapped into the neural networks that output this sometimes quite shockingly human music, if you listen to Udio. If a person does not at least take some questions like these into account when considering this absolutely transformational new technology then I have to question the contents of their soul.

Thank you. I understand that people find AI super offensive. It is very very likely that bad people will absue it. But on the other hand I think a lot of creative people will do very interesting things with it too. It is impossible to know quite where this is heading. I feel fairly certain that AI wont go away, and I do not want to be a victim to it, or the least interested in doing mediocre stuff or material that could pass as another artists work. I am looking forward to when we will have more control over what the AI is generating. Then I would feel a bit more pride in the creations. As for Max For Live, I think it is a question of time before we will start seeing AI implemented in daws. A bit like Photoshop and Illustrator are doing at the moment.

@@arpaddanos9416 You are putting your finger on something important. I think the speed this technology is developing feels like driving way too fast without a seatbelt. People will use it for good and for bad, and at this speed we cant even know what the good or the bad might be. Sure, there is arguably a lot less soulless art and music today compared to what is likely to come. But it certainly exists in quite large quantities already. And I think these fields will suffer hardest. And I am sure some good people will come to harm too, but I also think a lot of new exciting stuff will come out too. So the plan is, keep an eye on its development, get excited about the good things, learn from mistakes and make sure I do not become a victim to it. I do not feel certain that this should stay completely out of the creative field either. I think how we interact will AI is bound to develop too, as mere text prompting and keeping fingerest crossed is just not exciting enough in the longrun.

Yes, I hear you. I would be surprised if I would stop using hardware, software and to perform live infront of an audience, and communicating with real people. I do think there will be a lot of room for people who are imaginative and love their craft. A bit like you get with any craft that has been forced to coexist with machines, such as furniture making or pottery. I am curious to see how AI will develop too, as just writing prompts as it is now does not give the "prompter" very much control and it is not very artistic. But I wonder if the path to the AI core will develop too. As just writing some prompts is something pretty much anyone can do, and we will have way more soulless music than exists today. On that note, I think the ones that will be hit hardest are the ones who make very generic music, not because they are passionate about the music. The stuff that could easily be replaced.

Yes, and I think AI will become much better, and we will have more control over what it generates. I can see many directions this could go in

haha, Totally, I think, the AI may have a brief time now when it is generating crap like 8 fingers on people and qualitycrushed audio. And this will be cherished by people who was there when it happened

my spotify release radar this week had already 3 AI songs

Yes I think you are right. I considered the music market completely flooded, even before AI, and AI will magnify that massively. It will be interesting to see how musicians rais above the noise, with or without AI, because I feel certain this will happen. It will arguably be harder to search through the noise, but I am sure the way we will find good music will change too.

I totally agree with that statement regarding the nergy, I do not think I did not have much artistic merit, but I am very very intrigued by it. And I feel an urge to explore it, as I think both AI will move on rapidly and so will our understanding of using it. I am not sure I understand the point regarding sampling. Not to worry, will keep exploring.

@@TheFellowPassenger AI mangling of samples and beats can be amazing, though. Generative sequencers have been a thing for a while, so that's pretty cool. Still needs a human brain to put it all together in an interesting way. Cool new tools. :)

@@sagosen Yes I totally think so. Although I would not wish to reduce myself to someone who agree if something is good or bad. I hope to develop alongside the technology, and will do my best to not become a victim to it

Your opinion would be different if you wasn’t told it was AI generated

@@hldfgjsjbd nope, unless you have absolutely no clue about music or creation itself, your point is absolutely false. Wake up dudebro, why would you want to get fed "emotions" from a machine instead of having the machine free your time to create, express and feel these emotions ? What is wrong with you man ? The fact that you even think you couldnt tell the différence makes me beleive you must have never listened to music, you just heard it.

@@sirzebra so much stupid assumptions, I will just laugh and ignore this reddit keyboard warrior 😅

@@hldfgjsjbd you're pretending there's no différence between a machine executing and a human creating, but i'm the reddit douche ? I dont want to know more about how vain you are, begone, then.

Although I am amazed what the AI is now able to make, it is nowhere near any human efforts. It is a bit like CGI and in camera effects in film.

Thank you
