It's the James Zabiela technique that he uses with the Korg Nanopad & the iPad? I think with some noise sound, am I right?

[pod054321]

embrace the 32nd note!

[hwangedward]

Can you put similar tutorial for Logic?

[MAJIDAQ]

This is so sweet.... thanks for sharing!

[thickjustice]

that is a great one....best one i heard in a while

[SEPALVIZION]

Id like to see a vid on Autopan with tempo sync. good vid none the less. Thank you!

[antimarxism]

Great vid.

[bbart318]

Why couldn't you just put the gate/arpeggiator on the vocals channel?

[plucksound]

@bbart318 You can't do that, you can only put midi effects on midi tracks, the arpeggiator is a midi effect so it can't be used on audio tracks.

[popdani]

Good stuff

[strugglebuggietv]

Thanks very mucho...

[MrMrskiski]

Good stuff.

[samuraitheta]

This could be done with one effect. The AutoPan can be used as a tempo sync'ed gate.

[sacredgeometry]

@samuraitheta Exactly what i was going to say, this is stupid!....That and clip based automation of volume or track based automation of a utility is much better anyway.

[eawitt3]

@samuraitheta That's why the title says "real-time techniques"

[samuraitheta]

@eawitt3 I dont know what you mean-autopan works in real time too.

[eawitt3]

@samuraitheta I'm just saying you can essentially make instant changes with this method, wouldn't you need to program the autopan beforehand?

[samuraitheta]

@eawitt3 No. You can map the rate in autopan live as well. This method requires more preproduction that autopan. The only thing that this will give you is an inconsistant pattern. Like wanting to gate on the "&" of 1 and 3 and the "a" of 2 and 4. This is the only thing that autopan won't do vs this method.

[KNUTKASE5000]

how do you set up momentary on an akai product...ive been trying forever with my mpd and cant figure it out...any help or tips?

[nathanlooney]

great video

[jimixdnb]

mr napela. i love your videos! best ableton tutor out there!

[Awesomeguy11WTF]

y dont you make any more reason tuorials ;_;

[OMGlvl86turtlepilot]

and this is exactly what i was looking for. i wanna go to these courses when i get my associates and some money :D

[OMGlvl86turtlepilot]

soo sick :D keeping the community fresh! Represent akaimpk25.

dont know if this is possible but if you had a download link for the vocals, (and if you told me the key) i would be...honoured.

[macgregoroi]

Ahhhhh this is totally pointless. This is what the auto pan/tremolo is for.... The auto pan is much more capable and WAY les complicated to set up and has more control over the sound with its pase and curve control.

[snalepa]

@macgregoroi True you can accomplish this with the AutoPan, however, what I didn't mention in the video is that you can also utilize this technique to create your own custom gating rhythms by drawing in different patterns on a blank MIDI clip, so that instead of using the Arpeggiator and a 1 bar held note, you can ditch the Arpeggiator and just draw in custom complex rhythms on the MIDI clip. You can't do that with the AutoPan. So, I would disagree and say that this is not totally pointless.

[eatshitgoogle]

@macgregoroi wrong. the auto pan will either ping pong the sound from left to right or make the sound completely mono depending on how you use it. Also, using gate with sidechain you can actually customize the rate with any rhythmic figure you want by drawing notes instead of using the arpeggiator.

[HowToAbleton]

@macgregoroi I agree with @eatshitgoogle...this is a far better method than using autopan.

[HowToAbleton]

@macgregoroi Also, i hate to sound rude, but do yuo actually understand sidechaining? How could a simple LFO offer more control than an entire MIDI pattern n all of its complexity? Its a no brainer.

[macgregoroi]

@HowToAbleton Yes I understand sidechaining. I have use this method before, along with other tricks to get the same effect, and after several months of trying this and that I feel that the autopan is superior. The only benefit of this is programming your own gate pattern and the added benefit of being able to add swing "whitch is great!", but that is not with in the scope of this tut. If that is a requirement for your project, by all means this is a great method.

[baconben]

@macgregoroi I have a rack with a gate and an autopan on separate chains and mapped the chain selector to a macro; there are creative reasons for using both methods but I prefer the autopan. For sidechained gate I usually program my own patterns, hadn't actually thought of using an arpeggiator, doh.

[macgregoroi]

@baconben Right on :) I have a simular rack with a requiency shifter, a drastic fasor, and a auto pan all set up with free modulation. i can make some really wild sounds with that.

[macgregoroi]

@HowToAbleton How ever the gate does not offer a triangle wave, randome wave, wave shape controls, or phase controls "awesome effect by the way". Im opinion the autopan is more expressive and adds more movement then a simple on off effect.

[SowndGie]

@macgregoroi You shoul do a tut on that.

[MarcioYTchannel]

very nice
