On this channel I focus on sound design for electronic music. I show you my process of creating sounds from scratch by doing sound design, sampling, and synthesis. My main tool is Ableton Live but it's more about the ideas than any specific software, instrument or gear.
My sample libraries are available on Gumroad (for FREE!) and you can find my music on Bandcamp.
New video every Monday at 15:00 CET, stay tuned!

Make your own instrument with a 70's organ sample
In this video I create a sample instrument in Ableton’s Sampler by using something from an old vinyl record. If you want to create your own instruments, follow along and I’ll show you how simple it can be in Ableton. Doing small sound design sessions help me to stay creative and create my own palette of sounds without the pressure of creating a finished song. Time stamps below!

Grabbing individual drum hits from 90’s hip-hop!

In this video I go back to mid-90’s hip-hop and sample drum hits and a stab and turn that into a uptempo beat. The track I sample is Hold It Down (1995) from Das EFX and this track -produced by Easy Mo Bee- features some gritty and noisy drum hits that are open and easy to grab. I’m turning it into a simple drum loop with a 909 kick that is a starting point for a track, from here on I can built...

Very nice 👍 I feel like playing with my old MC 303 again.
very nice, thanks for the tips
Most welcome 😊
Fantastic field recording in ableton tutorial. Will practice this. Thank you 😊
You're very welcome!
You could find an old RGB to SCART cable and an old TV if you are in europe or a RGB to composite cable if you are in US
You have an A500 plus so there are hard disk to be put it on the side expansion door - if you have the workbench 2.0 or higher installed on the hard disk you can use the DOS driver to read dos disks (8+3 names) or find a more recent crossdos software that can read win 95 long names (can be done even with workbench on disks but you might need a second external drive to make it less PITA) - find some modern expansions like hard disks or a gotek to read disks ad adf files
Color, Time, Movement! Such a great framework for thinking about sound design! Thank you for this!
I just realized this could also likely be applied to effect choices on the dry sound like dynamic, time, and modulation based effects.
Glad it is helpful!
sounds not pleasant at all, sorry
That is the most idiotic headline I've ever had the misfortune of reading.
wut?
I guess you never read the news, lol
@@klankenkabaal You're spare parts. Digital goodness. Do you have permission to steal that lick?
another example of why copyright laws are so absolutely dumb and just a money grab. You sample this Stones beat and put it on your song, they literally get partial songwriting credits... because of the drum sample. You take it and make it into digital drum patterns you're fine... have fun with your song kid
Great vid. Your video production quality is really top notch. Very professional.
Thanks 🙏
Paul's Boutique is the greatest album of all time. Nice rework!
I’m an ASMR fan and the algorithm gave me this video. Very cool to see all the processing techniques explained! Nice sounds as well :)

More MPC videos please
🔥⛽ one of the best videos on youtube explaining how to use old MPCs. sampling a note from a synthesizer changes everything, I find it gives a coherent groove and swing, instead of sampling a melody loop. What I've been doing lately is sampling a note from a vst instrument (piano, lead, bell,...) usually the note C, with the Auto-Chromatic Assignment feature in MPC 2500, Samples can now be automatically assigned chromatically to the drum pads. The 64 drum pads,(PAD A01 - D16) will correspond to a note range of 35 - 98 on a MIDI keyboard. Personally, I'll never compose in a daw again, just to record at the end, even if I do Trap.
Agree with note sampling, it gives you so much more freedom to play what you want! Thanks for the support!
Do you know any other production software that have this ability? I use Maschine 2.0
You can probably do this in many DAWs, for sure in Logic and in Kontakt
It’s crazy how this is a high income earning job at a keyboard company.
That sounded very Roland-like!!! DOPENESS!!!
I’m sorry but classic boom bap, which is why we’re even talking about MPC swing in the first place, is what’s needed. Everything that quantizes midi does what you showed. Thats just swing not MPC swing.
came out well, good shit
no fl studio ?
Nope, just Ableton, but it comes with the actual samples so you can make your own sampled instruments
@@klankenkabaal thanks
Wow! Very creative and cool
Thanks! 😉
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯im going back and forth on if i should buy one of these or the newer ones
This old one really fosters creativity with all the limitations…
There's some nasty 808 sounds coming from that mixer. Gaaf concept!
Zeker, wilde geluiden!
it's such a disgrace to make shit beats out of this classic machine dude are you kidding me?
Are you able to turn the input volume knob up or down (if thats a thing) while recording a sample in order to make the click go away? Also, would you do a video sampling in drums and using the sequencer to make a rhythm?
I have to check if that works.. thanks for the video idea, let’s see 😉
@@klankenkabaal Been curious about getting one myself. Clicks arent a huge deal, but if a manual fade in/out works that would be neat
Cool idea. I will def be trying
this is so cool, i've never come across anything like this before
Thanks :)
You’re welcome
this is a sneaky fun piece of gear, if you're cool with quick and dirty getting right down to creativity and not powerful editing, it's rad
Right! Quick and dirty for sure
Good explanation and history
Glad you liked it
heel leuk om te zien dit
how does it compare to Audacity?
It’s quite different, I don’t think you can record system audio in Audacity
@@klankenkabaal You can but its awkard, its how i sample from youtube, thou its not intuitive and you need soundflower. The quality does drop thou which is why i asked how it compares. I don't sample sounds just vocals so the loss isnt too bad for me
Ok, I see. The quality of Audiohijack is good, it doesn’t drop or anything
Blackhole does the audio hijacking for free. Then use anything to record, eg GarageBand, audacity etc Works on Mac.
This content brings us great joy. Thank you 😊
Thanks!! Nice to hear you enjoyed it
I love mine. Countless albums made on a 2kxl.
I had envisioned a transition that felt more seamless :) I personally find the change in dynamics at the crossfade too abrupt.
As a layer this creates some movement you would have in a perfectly looped sample.
This sounds good, although I don’t think reversing the sound to create the loop is the best option. Because you’re using a section where it fades out, and then fades in during the reverse part. If you were to crossfade half the sound over itself without reversing it, the level would be more consistent. As the fading out section would be covered by a louder section of the sample fading in over the top. The E-MU Emulator 4 series samplers from the 90s are the best for this. Sample a couple of seconds of a sound and it will automatically trim the sample, normalise it, auto crossfade loop it (set to a specific section of the sample such as the last half, quarter etc), and map it across a keyboard. Depending on the sample, you may get a tremolo sounding loop, but it’s always a really smooth loop regardless. The process only takes a few seconds. So if it doesn’t work the first time, you can try it again with a different crossfade length.
Yeah some of those old samplers had really good loop modes, same for the Roland W-30
Thijs van Leer is a boss
SP-16 I just roll the dial and whatever swing percentage it lands on is what I use. DAW swing to taste, then bring down the swing strength to roughly 75% for a semi quantised but still human feel
My favourite + the best looking But the 3000 and 4000 are also top tier
Right, especially like the look of the 3000 as well
@klankenkabaal Yea the 3000 is beautiful, all the classic ones that with less cluttered interfaces the 4000 with a flip screen all look great, so that's included the 2000XL but also the 60mk1, form factor and economics of the 2000XL are unbeaten for me though, drumming with the right hand and performing all button function with the left is ergonomically unparalleled and will never happen again as now touch screens are the center point so youll never get pads where the right hand naturally sits again unfortunately. Your pad playing hand raises higher than your button pressing hand, notice how the 2000XL screen is on the left, with pads and screen in line your pad playing actually obscures the screen, the 2000XL is ergonomically the greatest pad sampler ever created. This is why I prefer it over the 4k which is technically better. And the 3k is better in ways too but it's the ergonomics of the 2kxl for, it is very close to perfection in thar regard.

This is a fantastic video - thanks for sharing these tricks
You’re welcome!
If you chop you samples in the mpc you’re bugging! It takes too long, you should chop on the fly. Manual live chop and then do fine adjustment.
Thanks, interesting technique. very inspiring
Glad you enjoyed it!
I only have ableton lite, and the simpler seems to be missing a loooot of these functions, is there a way to achieve this on lite?
@seanlewis8423 You could try to make the sample more loopable first (on the timeline) by having a copy of the sample, reverse it and put it after the original, then you can use volume fades to blend them together. Haven’t tried it, but it could work
duro papo, saludos desde Chile
Very cool!

My first gaming "pc". We i had the A600, there was a handfull of us that talked our parents to buy them us for xmas, saying they would never need to buy us games. My console then was thr saga mastersystem. I dont think ive ever seem an offical game for an amega. Only ever copied. We all had 100s of games. That must of been thr most pirated computer ever.
Hello ! Thanks for your work ! Is it possible to make a video which focus on creating Drums and groove ? Bye !
Great suggestion!
I was about to slap a Limiter on my master track until I remembered I was watching a TH-cam video 😉 Haven't really explored Roar yet, and wouldn't have started with drums, so this was inspiring, especially that trick of just having the feedback play the fourth bar, going to experiment some with that.
Nice!!
