Quik-E 003 - The Finger

Rate !! Comment !! Subscribe !! This Quik-E Video introduces you to the concept of Real-Time effects by playing notes on your keyboard. This is possible because of a $79 FX Expansion pack by Native Instruments called "The Finger". It will work with the FREE Kore Player that I introduced you to in Quik-E Video #002 or in Reactor or Kore 2. It's mind blowing fun to add effects by playing notes on your keyboard - so watch and enjoy !!

"There is nothing else that will do this"

I have to respectfully disagree with you there, skippy!

Ableton allows you to do all that kind of stuff with its incredible rack system, allowing you to create up to 128 chains all triggered by midi notes. You can't route them all THROUGH each other, but its the same idea.

@dylanmsterling4 - DUDE ! Thanks for pointing this out. I have Ableton Live and I'm learning it but didn't know about this ability. Very cool and I thank you for sharing this.

How does this program compare to Izotope Stutter Edit?

[thepluginguru]

@Anotherday45 - stutter gives you more control - especially setting things up to go from one setting to another over time. It also has a killer "transition" mode that Finger doesn't have - having said that, the Finger has more effects and a number of them don't exist in the Stutter Edit universe. Unfortunately, you need both. : /

Skip, I've got Kore Player and I recently bought Komplete 7 so I can really start making some nice sounds...How do I add all the components to the FX section within the player? I'm limited to what was already on there...can you help?

THanks

@007blakey007 - Blake - I'm not an employee of Native Instruments, but I'd suggest re-installing the Kore Player. This will give it a chance to re-scan all of your libraries and they should then show up... good luck!

@thepluginguru - Dudes!! In order to do all of that in ableton it will take a few instruments and effects and time consuming automation drawing and recording etc. I use ableton for all of my music production and creating cool effects takes way too much time. The finger resolves all of this.. period..

next time....the mouth! :)

[thepluginguru]

@NoonELee - totally agree. Artillery is super cool and can do things the Finger can't. The compressor some other effects are awesome in Artillery.

@mimoocho - not planning to cover The Mouth, my friend.... Absynth 5 and Omnisphere are next!
