[@daisheyaku]

I like to play the sample with a midi keyboard to get an interesting progression. Then you can fade between the changes with automation in arrangement view. Granulator 3 looks nice. Haven't tried it out yet.

[@Tykyra]

you are my new favorite channel, thanks for sharing! I really connected with your way of teaching! Cheers :D

[@SideBrain]

Thank you so much! That’s great to hear!

[@PhilJFlyMusic]

Another great tutorial 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@SideBrain]

Thank you!

[@Blure]

Which sample pack did you use for this session?

[@riversilvers]

haha this sounds reminds me Flume's granular sounds! Great tutorial❤️🤘

[@SideBrain]

It is! And thank you!

[@Kyle-wb7wx]

Wow!

[@SideBrain]

Yes

[@samgreenwood9595]

This is such a cool tip, nice one! What Pack is it you're getting the original sample from?

[@willkrause3950]

Can we get the generative ambient vidl?!

[@Plec07]

Can the entire tutorial be done with Granulator 2?

[@SideBrain]

Yes

[@brucekai7462]

The possibilities with this technique can be mind blowing!!!!

[@SideBrain]

Indeed

[@F_letc.h]

Why did you transpose the sample to G? Wouldn’t you want to transpose to C, so the sample matches the note you’re actually playing on your keyboard?

[@SideBrain]

The note is just for over all pitch of the sample
If we play the note C it will trigger the sample in its original pitch which not necessarily is C.
I explain everything in the full workshop including how to extract the chord progression from it

[@F_letc.h]

@@SideBrainI just realized you didn’t actually transpose the sample itself, you just played a different midi note, but I’m still not sure why instead of playing C3 you played G3. Was there are reason you chose G3, or was it just random?

[@F_letc.h]

Never mind. I realized you played 7 semitones above C, because there are 7 semitones between F and C. So playing G on your keyboard played the sample in C.
