Just upgraded to suite. NOW I NEED MAX

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EAT

[TheKekelol]

I made the granulator for me anyway and, now its there, why not sharing it?

[jossedobben]

Man, this is great! If only I could do this sort of stuff with my Modular G2... Unfortunately, it doesn't do sampling (that I'm aware of). Let's get Max for Live, then!

[wuschelbeutel]

what is the track before 0:50 called?

[Matthewtimothyspear]

@EKAMITV Thanks!

[EKAMITV]

@EKAMITV or better to say a mic from earthworks but cant see which exactly

[EKAMITV]

@Matthewtimothyspear EARTHWORKS AUDIO M30 MP ... much money for a mic ^^

[Umren]

music played wrong could be exactly right!

[Matthewtimothyspear]

Does anyone know what type of microphone is that?

[maqster]

i like how he hits the cu, shows us how it works, then modulates it, then zones out, gets deep in the sound for a few seconds, then comes back to earth. awesome

[Noname7401]

will you dont have to buy it you just need to know how to do it in your program of choice

[ringdingdol]

and you loehp it 1:35 xD

[TheRealCritique]

seems to me most granular synthesis sounds the same - metallic, dry, and spacey. Nice, but the same thing over and over and over and over.

The question is if its worth $249 for Max.

[garyspong]

Amazing! I tried this using a Corning Ware percolator. Take out the coffee holder, but leave it on the stem. Tap it with a wooden spoon. Totally wild sounds. So happy to have got MFL free this summer. Yes, eating is a problem these days, but at least I can go granular.

[ronnysoeberg]

@TheKekelol Sharing is caring.



[JimmyGr90]

"But in music playing wrong could be exactly right."

[GranularSerious]

Great stuff. Reminds me of LowNorth's granular synth program, which is also super cool. He's got a new version just out which has a wild sounding resonator effect. Unfortunately though it's not free like this is...

[spankazoid]

a swarm of sonic particles ....i love the way he talks dirty

[birthdaypig2000]

Is there a control on the APC to change position of the area of the waveform that's being played back or do you have to control all those parameters with the mouse?

[MpidisM]

genius!

[WATCHSONICS]

@JAHZILLABEATS

This quote comes from Abletons face book page - by Robert Henke:

"...that's my beloved Earth Works mic, but as a source for granulator often enough the built in mic of my notebook is just fine ;-)"

[JAHZILLABEATS]

Does anyone know what kind of microphone is he using to capture those samples?

[blakshadow5]

This is fucking genius

[jezjonson]

this is sick

[jezjonson]

@atabeylive That's what I thought when I heard it was now free with the Suite.

But then I thought, sod it, just buy the MFL thingy for $209 and remember that I have ONE year more experience with Ableton than those who've not got it yet... heee heee

[unikPT]

Awesome. And nice guy. He shared. Respect on that!

[DJJasonBay]

Nice, love how it evolves and mutates subtly. Just add a resonator after that and you'll really have some unique textures
