Excellent Tutorial Thank- you 🎶😎🎶
Thank you.
Thank you so much for this; I love the 12 performance buttons on my AR1 but now I just learned the value of having a 'break-out' MIDI controller paired with it. Cheers m8. :hat1:
Your profile pic looks exactly like derek from American history X when he’s being arrested 😂
Lol, you call me bald? 😄
@@optoproductionscourse not no - great video though! 😂
@@We-all-watched-the-video haha 😂😂
Very Nice... Thanks for this one. I am considering the Blofelt , and yhis made it clearer ❣
Super helpful! Thank you very much!!!
Excellent video. Thank you!
I love it! I've gotten lots of ambient sounds from mine! It's definitely opened up another world of sounds. Watched a lot of MadFame videos to wrap my head around what these things are doing. I think they got a bad rap because they were misunderstood. Keep it warm if you have one!!
Nice man, I'm definitely keeping mine :) Lots of synths from the 80s are misunderstood, people only tend to use the bundled presets without spending much time diving deep.
Gabberrrr!!!!
😈😀

Very clear and helpful video to get everyone up and running with MIDI mapping. Thanks!
Im new to this and want to do it. Coukd u show a video of how to hook it up and is ot fomong from a speaker or laptop? Just a full quick to the point video would be awesome. Maybe some links to biy the cables and stuff
Yeah of course good suggestion 👍
Thank you for your help
This is fire lesgoo
Thanks for this. It was a bit harder to follow than it needed to be because you had it playing a pretty abstract patch with some random elements - if you'd stuck with the very simple patch you used at the beginning, the features of the dTrOY would have been easier to understand.
Good point, I'll take that with me for my next video, appreciate the feedback 😃
Can one use an 88keyboard with this?
You can, but I believe the range is only 4 octaves, so it will just stop at a certain point.
Great use of Shapemaster! 👍🏼
Thanks! It's an amazing module 🙂
@@optoproductions thanks! 😉
My friend, keep these Ableton 12 tips coming! They are helping a bunch! Thank you!
Will do! :)
dank u wel, heel lekker
graag gedaan :)
Thank you for the nice video! : ) I'm new to analog synths, but I really want to start from somewhere ... can you recommend which two Behringer synths to get ? May be one of them must be the Crave?
It depends a bit on the genre, but I would recommend a polysynth for chords like the Pro 800. The crave is cool, but I would have a look at the Kobol expander too as that provides you with a bit more sound design options.
@@optoproductions I plan to use them mainly without external keyboard. : )
@@BPEMETO ah good point, that limits your options a whole lot. In that case something with a sequencer is a must. I would just check out some demo's and figure out the ones that work for your style, and if you can visite some stores to get some hands-on experience.
@@optoproductions Thank you for the advise! From what I've seen in youtube, I really like the Crave, the Edge, the TD-3-MO, Neutron and RD-6 . The thing I've just realized is that I would need a sound mixer if I want to use all of them together. : ) And I was wondering if they can send audio output via the USB out on the back? So instead of connecting them to a mixer I can connect them to a USB hub and the PC and mix the sound in a software?
@@BPEMETO unfortunately those USB ports are only for MIDI and not for audio. So you will need a mixer or a bigger audio interface, that's true.
Thank you
Good stuff dude. I’ve been putting off sample prep for my Digitakt for ages. But it’ll be so useful to have 64 transients in a single audio clip and use the grid machine. You’ve inspired me to get onto that
Oh yeh it's even easier with the digitakt 😃👍
I just got a Digitakt and this video is perfect for me! Great tips. Thank you Melvin! 🍻🎛
Cool man I love it so far! I'll definitely make some digitakt focussed tutorials soon.
Really nicely explained. Excellent vid! ❤
:)
splendid 😎
how do you find the A.R more suitable, as a performative tool or rather sound design machine? Anyway thanks for your vids man, much appreciated
The way I use it is more of a sound design tool, although it could use more LFO's or mod destinations. Performance mode is great, but the pads on the mk1 are really stiff though, so I don't use those as often as I would want to.
@@optoproductions yes I get it. Thou it has performance parameters to mess with I rarely do it, and I m on MK2, so it is not about the model, it is about easiness, especially ran thru OT. OK, thanks for the chat, see ya
There is always something to be admired about Musician’s who push to get blow and beyond the front panel of this synthesizer. After over 40 years, I’m glad to know that people are still trying to create their own patches on it, even though the main reason I never bought one for me was that I was nervous I would be stuck with the classic 32 presets. As the owner of a Roland JX-8p, whose shape, size and interface are all modeled after the DX7, despite it being an analog synthesizer instead of a digital, I understand what you’re saying about this one being heavy. This may come as no consolation, but imagine if it was the DX7’s precursor, the GS1. Apart from not being programmable from the front panel, the GS1 was built like a Yamaha CP80.
I'm still looking to get a Hcard one day, so I can load more than 32 patches on there. The JX8p is great, I've been keeping the eye on the market for a while now but didn't come across an affordable one yet.
amazing
Thank you very much. What you are showing here is really very useful. Thank you for the great and creative examples.
I'm glad you found it helpful 😀
What nord is it?
A nord rack 2 🙂
How you do this in ableton?
You could select a range of 1 beat, and then just create a separate track for each sample. In the export window you can export all selected tracks, and then normalize there as well.
@@optoproductions thx
all that faffing around for a kick
The most important element of an electronic dance track requires some attention 🙂
good kicks do need some workout, whether just samples like here, or purely synthesised, or layered
tbh, this should be more a "how to make kick samples" video, because this has nothing to do with the Rytm anymore and it has great engines itself! I was hoping for a nice visual guide for how to create great kicks on the Rytm, but this is in the end just applicable to any device that loads samples. Not bad in itself, but also not really playing to Rytms strenghts
Thanks for the feedback, did you see my other video about Rumble kicks? That one uses only the synths. I obviously can't cover everything in one video, but I'll see if I can find a way to dive deeper into the machines 👍
@@optoproductions I did not, so thx, I'll give it a watch
отличное видео!!!!
I want one of these but heard it was pretty bad compared to other sequencers
The sequencer is like original one, pretty hard to use that's right, but it's the sequencer that's a huge part of the 303 sound. But you can sequence it from MIDI or USB with your DAW or with another sequencer just fine as well.
Best tutorial yet. I thought I was going crazy with this compared to how logic does it automatically. In Ableton you have to fix it yourself. Like a child. Can they not fix the code to do it. Geez.
Thanks, although theres a lag (very small but noticeable) any fixes ?
You can change the clock delay in live's preferences menu, that should help
Latency was the main reason i left Ableton Live. I was really sick of it. Between all those DAW alternatives i decided to give a try on Reaper and i was amazed that it can do everything that every major DAW's do, it is fast, light on CPU, really really flexible and adjustable, it have major community support, many many of good freebies and it doesn't have that really annoying latency problem no matter how many heavy plugins you put on a track and i use the default DAW settings. I'm still on Reaper DAW ever since.

I'd say you can even make it easier: there are only 2 categories of modules. 1) signal generators 2) signal modifiers All signal generators could be considered modulators (after all, you can use ANY signal as CV if you so wish). Traditionally though, if a signal generator outputs a signal that oscillates more than 20 times a second (so, above 20 Hz) you've got an audio generator (oscillators, noise generators..). Slower than that? Then you've got a CV generator (low frequency oscillators, envelope generators, clock generators..). The two can overlap of course, if a module provides you with a wide enough frequency range. Signal modifiers may also cover both the world of audio and the world of CV at the same time, but traditionally they are also called in different ways depending on the signals they deal with. If they transform audio signals (specifically, if they change the timbre of the signal) then you may know them as audio modifiers or simply audio effects (stuff like filters, wavefolders, distortions, echo, reverb..) whilst in all other cases they are usually labeled as utilities (amplifiers, attenuators, mixers, multiples, slew limiters, sample & hold, comparators, clock dividers..). Gotta say though, nice video dude! Yep, if we boil it down it really is that simple, enough to narrow it down to just 4 or 3 (or hey, even 2) types of modules. Then as you learn more you can dig down and learn about all the various types of modules there are and what they do, but at the end of the day a module either: 1) makes a signal, or 2) changes a signal And that's part of the beauty of synthesis I think. That from something so simple we can get something so interesting and complex.
Oh yes, you're absolutely right, I love that! I never want to box in Modular in any way, as it's all voltage and the possibilities are endless, but it does help to simplify the process for first-timers. Thanks for sharing your ideas :)
wtf how.. thx dude i was desperate
Oooh, early enticement for comments! "Just 3 types?" Ok, I'm curious, let's hear what this fella has to say.
I guessed the 4th correctly! Yay for me. I'm also wondering where a vca might fit? Modulation, effect, utility? Does it matter? Not a bit.
@@CatFish107 VCAs would be in the "utility" category =) They don't generate any signal on their own, so they're not audio generators nor modulators. They don't change the timbre of an audio signal going through them (well, you can push some of them to do that, but it's not their intended purpose), so they are not effects. By a process of elimination, we can say they are utilities 👍
And if you want a "brain crash" as a beginner, go experiment with the next concepts in Modular Synthesis / Sound Synthesis: modulate the modulators and randomize the randomizers :)).
😆😆
There's always 2 questions that can lead me down interesting paths in modular: 1. What happens when I plug X into Y? 2. What happens if I modulate this thing at audio rate?
As a modular starter i thank you!
You're not hearing the delay, you're hearing a feedback loop... I cannot FUCKING believe ableton doesn't have an ACTUAL way to use outboard gear
🤦♂️
@@optoproductions dude I'M CORRECT... do you hear how wild and loud and fast the delay gets when you crank the volume?????? THATS NOT THE EFFECT... IT'S A FEEDBACK LOOP!!!!!!
