finally a video that's not lazy, most in youtube about afx focus on randomization and yours shows that's a lot of work that richard d james puts in almost every midi trig.
Both afx tutorials have been top tier. Looking forward to more from your channel. You have a good grasp on his drum technique, hate when people rely on randomness to get afx drums because they’re anything but.
Thank you so much! That means so much. I think using randomness can be EXTREMELY helpful in some cases but in my opinion, it's picking the parts out of randomness which is genuinely useful. I used to just make everything random, press go, resample for 5 minutes and think "Yeah that's good enough"...
The pitch bend automation should depend on your PB range setting on the specific synth you are using, so its always a relative amount to the PB range. If you set your PB range to one octave, 7000 would bee a fifth indeed. Lovely tutorials, keep them coming, really go to detail :)
The MIDI Ctrl pitch bend does not represent semitones. It's simply a numerical value. It is determined by the synth in Pitch Bend section, where a pitch bend range is shown. So if you have a pitch bend range of 1 and you modulate it in the MIDI clip by half, it will be moving 0.5 semitones. Operator default is usually 5 semitones (a perfect 4th) and most of the other ableton devices are 2 semitones,
@@eptiar i’m curious to see how you go about making the percussion sounds. i made a bunch using downsampling among other processing, i think also using some spectral processing, if that gives any ideas. definitely a resampling sorta technique imo. and i’m happy to send you the samples i made if you’d like.
You know, same! There's a certain bass in Cock/Ver 10 (I think). I've tried recreating it with my 303 clone, I've used Renoise, Ableton and I have to be honest, I can't get anywhere near that sound...I'll keep trying though haha
He uses synths that are not 303s to make acid sounds... one thing I've figured out is it's likely a sine wave synth making acid sounds and some kind of subtle phaser effect. I have a quadraverb like he used early on, and one of the phaser presets does a kind of thing to the bass that you hear on analord, where the bass notes sound like wet farts.
Another piece of the puzzle I've figured out recently is this; I bought a TD-3 with some mods that aren't part of the standard devil fish mods you find in the td-3 MO... one of them is a portamento dial that makes all notes, as you say, fold in on themselves... probably a mod he's been using for 20+ himself.

Thank you man!

Here from Ned Rush Patreon chat, excellent stuff!
I await your collab with the other funny British man.
Hahaha if only!
Nice, I have always wanted more tutorials about Aphex sequencing. Most people only focus on the sound design. Thanks.
No worries! Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you! That was really helpful!
yeah definitely would like to see a vid on micro tuning
Just subbed loving this 🤙
Dude this is incredible. Subbed. Would love to see you make some aphex-style melodies.
Thank you! I'll probably do a video on that soon. Just got to get a hang of it myself haha
Love your way of explaining lmao. Keep it up! haha
Haha thank you man!
Interesting thought regarding the ADSR settings for the drums
Thank you! Also just have to say, huge fan of your channel. Thanks for checking this out!

Ah cool, thanks for letting me know.
LETS HAVE SOME APHEX ACID!!!
Come on you....
if you’re looking for ideas, i’d love to see a video like this on phonem, like something in the style of the hydro electric album
Wow, just listened to this for the first time. I'll definitely give it a go!

Excellent Video!
Thank you so much!
Nice work brother.
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Great shit
Thank you so much!
Always wondered how AFX gets those 'gargling' effects when it sounds like his acid basslines have folded in on themselves......
You know, same! There's a certain bass in Cock/Ver 10 (I think). I've tried recreating it with my 303 clone, I've used Renoise, Ableton and I have to be honest, I can't get anywhere near that sound...I'll keep trying though haha
@@eptiar He probably exploited something in the tracker software he was using.

Same here ,I've been searching high and low of how he gets those sounds! And how he makes his acid

Dope! Thanks!
No worries! Thanks for checking out the channel!
Would love to see one on track arrangement. 🧱🧱🧱
Absolutely. What we're you thinking? For this Aphex Style or in general?
@@eptiar aphex style would be great
@@CarpetSoupMusic Cool! I'll trry my best and get onto that asap
laughing at 15:35
Nicely done!
Thank you!
