Ableton Live MIDI Effects
Ableton Live Drum Racks Part 1 and 2
by Laura Escudé
at the Electronic Creatives Ableton Live Master Class on March 21, 2010
Kebu – The Lunar Effect (Yamaha S30 demo)
This time I wanted to explore the limits of my Yamaha S30, so I decided to compose, arrange and record a whole tune only by MIDI sequencing the S30.
The song was programmed/performed using Cubase SL solely as a MIDI sequencer controlling the S30 (in “Performance” mode). The song was then recorded straight to 2-track tape in one go. No overdubs, multitracking or external effects were used. Only mild EQ and limiting was used for the digital master. The video was later compiled showing how the various parts were played or programmed.
Many of the patches used are from JayB’s free bank of sounds for the S80, which are also compatible with the S30 (and most of them works also on a CS6x):
