Okay, followed along like a good student, but than at the end a whole bunch of stuff happens in a millisecond: duplicate it 4 times (why?), reset (how?), macros are mapped off screen (which?). Will try, but would love to get a bit of insight about these steps too!
Duplicate to increase the rolloff of the filter by adding more poles to the same frequencies (makes the effect more intense, so might be nice to add a chain selector with a dry/wet knob). reset by selecting all the ultracomb filter effect chains (On windows: shift + click or ctrl + click individually) and then turning them all off and then back on at the same time. I can't figure out what "invert" is mapped to, but the others are self explanatory. "AP" means all-pass which maps to the three key parameters in the phaser. Edit 1: Invert Update From Another comment below thanks to @sionnachs_workshop "map the inverts on both phasers to a macro. open up the map options. set one range from 0-64 and the other from 64-127. that should make it so when the macro crosses the mid point it'll flip the inverts on both."
I made a Razor preset a few years ago called 'Vertical Phaser'. The patterns look as if the waves are swinging perpendicular to time axis. Mindblowing!
crazy, I was playing with this exact same setup just a couple weeks ago didn't arrive at the same magic sweetspot as you, was just kinda making cool noises and seeing if I could find anything special
@@kennethsmith5383 I mean, I think AU5 heard something I didn't and managed to find how this was useful in a way that wasn't as intuitive to me I was listening for something else at the time, and going far more extreme with the frequency shifter I also don't know if I'd personally have been brave enough to call this "inventing a filter" I'm not criticizing AU5 for this title at all, just personally wouldn't have even crossed my mind to claim that edit: almost forgot, thank you, I should do more
Man, I bet this kind of skill would translate well into pulling crazy stuff with radio waves. Your understanding of waveform manipulation is just wild!
YOU TEACH SO WELL I NEED TO BINDGE WATCH ALL YOUR VIDEOS RIGHT NOW. man if only other channels explained and taught stuff so effortlessly. you just made all these concepts click with me so quickly
I love your sound, and I've always described it to people as sort of liquidy. Singularity, Snowblind, Dreaming, Blossom, and Crossroad are probably some of the best archetypal examples of my music taste in 2014. The sound this creates is just perfect and instantly takes me back.
I think I need to watch it again. I was mesmerized by the sounds and barely listened to the explanation. but yeah something something comb and allpass filters and phase inversions. nice
I love the short-hair, honestly. Feels very fitting, bet it feels freeing too. This was a very inspirational video, thanks for sharing. Building my own filters snow and getting into fun effect chain shenanigans!!
Incredible. I also learned more about Ableton and audio effect chains than I did in most videos actually about that subject, so extremely well done sir! Instantly subbed
Ah meant to watch this last month! Sounds pretty good. I've made similar stuff in VCV, need to find a phase inverter module to replicate this exactly. Also I'm surprised you didn't patch some feedback in, I've found that really helps to make the effect stronger with frequency shifting. Nice work!
I do something similar to get a robotic kind of effect on vocals. (Add delay and paste 2 instances of the vocal into the playlist and shift em slightly on the snap to grid "none" setting)
Damn, the part at 0:19 sounds like a vocal for a psytrance song or something haha. I'm already imagining the melodies lol but for real this thing sounds powerful, AND you show how you make it for free? heavy respect
This is amazing. I was wondering if you could do a quick overview of how you made the same effect in Snapheap? I got in the ballpark following the Ableton workflow, but I couldn't quite get it there.
There was a subject called “Signal Processing” at my University. You could easily be a lecturer on this subject. It is very important in experimental physics and astronomy.
I don't think his setup has any feedback going on; at least, when I recreated it in Snap Heap I didn't involve any feedback (experimented with adding it but made things sound a bit muddy!)
very great video , very well composed , i'm really curious about that sonogram , the oscilloscope on top and the RMS meter at the right , they seem very compact and useful , can you tell me where to get them ?
Dude thanks once again man... The logic is super linear and sound and makes sense... it's like why haven't we done this!??!? LOL Freaking dope. Let's make some cool sounds!
So. That sounds cool. But I ran into a problem. Many phasers do not have a phase inversion parameter, as the Live phaser does with a parameter near the Feedback encoder. Therefore, I cannot repeat the effect at the phaser creation stage.
Is it possible to create a filter that notches out a regularly inharmonic spectrum like that of a piano? There is this channel my 15 year old son showed me called ‘New Tonality’. This channel has one video called ‘Can octaves sound dissonant?’. Which showed what music would sound like if octaves were tuned differently. I think there were synths in the video too, but they were most likely all additive.
Wooow. You figured out how to make dubstep sound good. That's incredible. lmfao No, but seriously, this is a really cool effect. Someone get this video to Andrew Huang! lmfao
Was following along until the part where he says "to make this a very powerful effect, lets create macros" because it fast forwards and doesn't show what parameters he mapped... not sure what I'm supposed to map to the "Invert" knob, "Shepard" knob, "AP Amount," "AP Cutoff," or "AP Pinch." Would love some assistance with this, also how does he have a channel titled Ultracomb but parameters from deep inside its groups are on the macros? I can only map parameters that are within the group rather than within groups of groups... thanks in advance.
Invert- inverts the phase of the two phasers. 0-64 turns the phase invert off one and on the other, 64-127 turns the opposite phaser invert on/off Shepard - mapped to the frequency shift knob of the shifter but more constrained in the mapping AP- means “all-pass” and that is the 3 main parameters of the phaser
Aways great stuff. I started trying replicate this in Kilohearts but the delay only goes down to 10ms and I can't turn off the filter in the Flanger Snap. I tried duplicating multiple delays but the result was extreme. Any advice? Thx
Great concept! But ... Darn, you mean i have to have a DAW and click things on a conputer...? I was really hoping this was an analog filter component I could drop into my signal path. Can we work on a hardware device for this?

This is one of the greatest sound design tutorials I have ever had the joy of watching on this platform. I love comb filters. Great work.
Comb filters are my favourite colour bass
There are those who make music,
And those who pioneer music.
You sir are one of the most talented and visionary. Thank you for sharing your gifts.
Him and VR are gifts to the producing community.
It’s very true
Best Au5 tutorial ever??
That intro though is insane!
It's awesome that you've discovered this and even more awesome that you're sharing it with everyone
The video that blew my mind in under 60 seconds.
I can't believe you're also sharing all this info just like that, it's such an awesome thing to know.
Of course you did... Of course you created your own audio filter.

what are you supposed to duplicate 4 times ? Just the delay / phaser / freq shifter module or both delay / phaser / freq shifter + delay / flanger ?
@@fkapbboth!
@@fkapbyou duplicate the whole thing four times
you've turned those bg artworks into sound 😱
Sounds like Harmor, if sound design remade. Impressive
Does this just prove Harmor is still the most powerful and misunderstood synth?
Not really. Harmor is amazing but it's not perfect.
Was gonna say this is very similar to harmor phaser

The king is back
It’s so nice to see Ian McKellen taking an interest in electronic music production
thank you for the knowledge share. super interesting seeing you work on this patch!
you should do a breakdown of how to do this with kilohertz
Nice job, i got everything, but "invert" macros, which parameter it affects? help plz
My first thought - sidechain and use audio to change the parameters. Could get some really interesting stuff like that.
These are some of the most alien sounds I've ever heard come from my computer, and I can't get enough.
I've never seen a better sound designer than AU5
I love your music so much Au5, just incredible, and the filter is just bonkers.
This guy is an alien! Crazy techniques bro
Hey, you should try modular synths.... i think you'd love them
it doesnt sound like the windowlicker EP, but it gives me the same feeling when i hear it.
I do something similar to get a robotic kind of effect on vocals. (Add delay and paste 2 instances of the vocal into the playlist and shift em slightly on the snap to grid "none" setting)
if I recall it correctly, with voxengo sound delay you can adjust time in microseconds.
Can we get a video on how you made it in kilohearts? I wanna use this on distorted guitar to make some futuristic djent shoegaze
This is one of the coolest videos ive seen in a very long time, but up
it's gorgeous to watch, too...
Stunning.

Its so fun just watching your spectogram make some weird ass shapes as you adjust things. Sound is art!!!
Sick vid, Austin. Hope you're well, my dude.
bro is using Ableton like a massive modular synth and I love it
I was literally just looking for Comb Filter plugins the other day. Perfect timing
There was a subject called “Signal Processing” at my University. You could easily be a lecturer on this subject. It is very important in experimental physics and astronomy.
Im glad to he able to get this knowledge without paying 6 grand. Thanks au5!
that intro was actually insane
If Austin was to make an audio effect of course the first one was going to involve delay lines and feedback loops LOL
Congrats!
I don't think his setup has any feedback going on; at least, when I recreated it in Snap Heap I didn't involve any feedback (experimented with adding it but made things sound a bit muddy!)
I have watched this like 42 times, and my mind is still exploding.
Ultracomb music is afoot!!! Fantastic tutorial!!!
Amazing as usual AU5! Thanks for sharing :)
I highly suggest using screenkey or something similar to show what buttons you're actually pressing during these tutorials.
Delays, frequency shifters, and all-passes? Three of my favorite ingredients!
very great video , very well composed , i'm really curious about that sonogram , the oscilloscope on top and the RMS meter at the right , they seem very compact and useful , can you tell me where to get them ?
