You might have seen our Ableton Live version of this tutorial so here's some love for the Logic users!

[@fryingwiththeantidote2486]

this sort of thing works well for amen breaks as well

[@diarmuidobrien2665]

Great tutorial, thank you very much! I started messing with the Amp Envelope in addition to everything you showed, which yielded some very interesting results. Also added some swing within the Arpeggiator. Getting some Floating Points style sounds.

Fascinating

[@estateelite9284]

Four Tet actually chops his sample manually and arranges the rhythm on the arrangement window.

Great tips !

[@user-or3ce4gt2r]

Excellent 🎉. The sampler hasn’t a randomizer ?

[@woodless]

Good idea 👍

[@George-nx8zu]

I primarily use Ableton but dabble in Logic every now and then. Can't wait to try this in the Logic sampler. I suppose if the LFO 1 shape is drastic enough, you can get an even grainier feel?

[@InZainUK]

Yep, you can also use the granular setting in the Alchemy plug-in/sampler. You can do the same thing modulating the start time with a random LFO setting but you have a grain knob which gives you the options of breaking down the slices into the desired number of grains. And you can edit the length of each grain too. Just drag an audio sample underneath a channel header and it will give you the option to load the sample into alchemy granular. Or open an instance manually!

Nice idea, but this is not granular synthesis. Granular synthesis works with millisconds of the source audio matherial to create a new playable sound. What you did is creating a rhythmic texture, inspired by the idea of granular synthesis,
