Ableton Live Tutorial - Making Glitch Patterns with 128s

In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to make glitch style patterns using 128s in Ableton Live's sampler instrument. This technique can be applied to many genres, and lends itself well to deep experimentation.

Check out www.devinesound.net for the free sample library I used in this video.

Hey dude. Just wanted to let you know, I used this in a track I made a few days ago, and the results were fantastic. Thanks for showing me new tricks :)

[lynchaudio]

@PatrickSugarfix Awesome! Thanks for the feedback, and glad to be helpful!

mmmm interesting wonder if the chain selector is assignable to midi controller?? yeah looks like it is good tip man :)

[lynchaudio]

@awkwardtom Thanks! Yeah it's totally midi assignable. That's a really fun trick too!

hey whats the sweep called, where you make the kick go faster and faster and tighter sounding .like bpm is 128, then make it 200, then 350, so on so forth?

@Merolero7 Ah no sorry I figured it, I was putting the samples in the pads instead of the sampler haha Thanks for the great tutorial!

I have a problem, once I saved my 128's under the Sampler, when I open another session, put the sampler in the drum rack with the 128 samples and change the ''Sel'' under ''Zone'' to change al values equally, I stop hearing everything and I can't seem o get any sound. I have the MIDI track armed but as soon as I do this I don't get any sound.

Thanks so much man!!! its so fun!

@AppA Hey, thanks. Yeah, there are a couple of ways to do that in Ableton. One would be to use the "slice to new midi track" function with an audio clip, and then re-sequence the hits using the midi editor. That's pretty fun. You could also, after slicing to new midi track, freeze those tracks and drag the audio into a sampler, and do the 128s technique. "Slice to new Midi" is a pretty awesome function. Slicing by transient, warp marker, or beat are all possibilities.

Interesting technique, I wonder if it would also be possible to do such a thing with sound samples chopped up in MIDI.
