  • If you're a fan of Hainbach, but don't have any abandoned nuclear facilities in your vicinity, or if you're after an alternative to programming virtual drum machines with tedious MIDI input, then this one is for you.
    In this tutorial, we see how just one instance of Operator can be used to produce insane, modular-style, glitch mayhem, useable as a percussion source for your next banger.

    wow, I thought I was learning Operator until you set 25 clips and 'Launch', and realized I was being enlightened on how to use Ableton period. thank you very much.

    Damn, not getting the same sound at all using Ableton Live 11, no punchy kick or heavy percussion sounds -- I don't know why they keep changing things like this, makes it very difficult to learn established techniques.
    Fantastic technique though man, that's some killer percussion right there!

      @@rhinocore thanks, will do! Support have confirmed that this is actually a bug, but I'll try that as a workaround. It's not like operator doesn't work, it just no longer works like it used to, making a lot of old sound designs tutorials redundant (in terms of replicating exact sounds anyway, not in terms of learning the controls etc).

      Did it eventually got solved ?

    • @final_animal
      @final_animal Před 5 měsíci

      No, it's a bug in the software. Support never got back to me about it, I brought it up on Reddit and other people had the exact same issue.
      I haven't actually tried to recreate it or follow this tutorial in a while, maybe I will if I have time and report back later, but to my knowledge it's still an issue (if you're having the same problem, we can assume that it's still there, the filter update made the synth behave differently).@@fkapb

    What device is triggering the parameters on Operator? An LFO?
    The clips are being triggered by follow actions right?
    This vid totally inspired me I thank you keep it up this pure gold!

    • @final_animal
      @final_animal Před 2 lety

      Yeah mine has very little low end at all actually, not really replicating these percussive sounds -- the initial square wave on operator A doesn't have any punchiness to it and then the rest of the modulation obviously doesn't work the same way, I wonder if it's down to using different versions of ableton

      Ableton have confirmed that there is a bug affecting the parameters of Operator for the latest version, making it difficult to replicate old tutorials unfortunately. Not sure what their plan is but hopefully it'll be solved.
