Live's Filter Models
Okay, Dokey. So we've done some really fun advanced modulations here in level, for we've covered all different kinds of second and third order modulations. We've targeted some specific parameters from our auxiliary envelope in LFO that you can't get to anywhere else. Like us leader, cross fade and like that FM drive, We also, um, have done some cool dynamic after touch sensitive modulations via the global panel. These are all really crucial techniques and making interesting patches. So I'm glad you're slamming it with this year s O What I'm gonna do real quick before I move into this final level for video about advanced modulations. I want Teoh. Just take a listen to my sketch and see what we're working with. This is this new patch I just made. I'm gonna call it off. Ross feed. This is our Polly Lead Do isn't an option. Click. I'm gonna drag this overseas. They're both playing a little bit. Give me a little live going to take this cross fade guy. Actually, get rid of I think this demon...
stration focus now. Final finishing touches. Noticed how I use filter right in the beginning. Right away, here to kind of snap this thing into the frequency. Uh, one of my favorite things to do with filter Teoh. Roll off the things you don't want and then add more. It's through the filter drive way kick. Listen how it affects our base patch cut off all the way up. So it's not color with using the classic old school saturated here kind of tape. Saturate are just one of my new live 9.5 built around four did a hell of their own solid state circuitry. Once you choose one, you arrive here, huh? So what's so of a seamless goodbye itself? Wares are clean filter without the distortion. Now the distortion works is it's after the resonance of the queue here. So when I choose a model hard right jam rez harder, I'm gonna hit that circuit of slamming into that certain, including the tops off, which adds natural order harmonics. Look at in this Scylla scope, it's like we looked at the beginning of class. Is that Max for live oscilloscope? And you can see I'm phase locking it here. Now let's go ahead and click this thing a little way more square way. Let's go and add a little second order modulation of that LFO writ. So that's the Oscar model. The other models here real quick from the core game s 20 Moelgg, Prodigy or kind of ah morphed version between the mess 20 and the prodigy. Let's listen to the corn filter coming down on the ground level. I think James Patrick with Slam Academy. That's been a real treat to give me every parameter no man operator. What a great chance toe Really flex your creative potential, Knowing this language being dive in, confident to you get even close to mastering this, you'll be able to Companies are effectively make sounds. You imagine not going with this instrument, probably just about any other FM synthesizer out there. They all utilize. That would be our target to empower you with the, uh, creative powers that you yourself having the ability to find that feedback stream joy and using inspiration transfer getting slam Academy. Please don't. It's up

People complain about Abletons "uninspiring" synth presets, and Operators businesslike interface doesn't scream "fun". It is however, an insanely fun and powerful instrument once you get your head around it. This class is perfectly formulated to turn anyone into an FM super-ninja in no time. It starts with the basics - perfectly explained, and delves deeper at a nice pace. I've been using Operator for years but still picked up a few tips in the later lessons. Taking this class will empower you to stop worrying about having the latest, greatest third party VST. Operator is a beastly synth. I rarely use any other synth because of the sheer sonic capability, and tight integration with Live.
