Side-chaining Electribes thru Ableton Live
One technique for doing side-chain compression on the Electribes using Ableton Live.
“Just wanted to share with you all my technique for doing side-chain compression on Electribes by running them thru Ableton Live. I use a combination of Audio and MIDI routing for a quick and easy effect.”
Advanced Tutorial: PPG WaveGenerator
This tutorial is intended to help people who are already familiar with synthesis, to get more out of PPG WaveGenerator! If you haven’t already you should watch Wolfgang’s tutorials: http://www.youtube.com/user/PPGWavegenerator

Alesis Andromeda Tutorial – Filter exploration
New video by ‘gstormelectro’ exploring filters on the Alesis Andromeda, details below:
http://gstormelectronica.blogspot.com/
This continuing tutorial series will focus on editing patches on the Alesis Andromeda. In this video I will examine the FILTERS and POST-FILTER MIX modules in more detail. I will continue topics for Filter FM and Filter Feedback and show how to finalize their configurations. I will introduce the ribbon controller as a mod source, and show how to tweak some more sounds along the way.

SunVox synth tutorial – Sampler Retriggering / Scaling
This SunVox tutorial talks about retriggering samples to scale them to a song. When you scale samples to a song, you can do a lot, changing their pitch, or even directly controlling how the samples play. It’s pretty fun to do.
Thanks for watching my tutorials and subscribing, by the way. Your comments are appreciated as well.

Understanding Wavetable Synthesis
This lesson explores wavetable synthesis and looks at different ways of playing with Animoog. This should be helpful for people using PPG Wavegenerator and other wavetable synths too! Visit the site a free pack of Animoog Timbres and details on how to make your own: http://discchord.com/blog/2012/8/25/official-unofficial-animoog-timbres-plus-…
Wavetable synthesis was pioneered by Wolfgang Palm in his PPG synths of the 70s and 80s. With wavetable synthesis, a library of relatively complex wave shapes, rather than sine, square or triangle waves, are used as building blocks of sounds. Dynamic sounds can be created by mixing or morphing between different wave shapes.
Note that Moog calls the heart of Animoog its ‘Anisotropic Synthesis Engine’, which combines elements of wavetable synthesis and subtractive synthesis. Animoog lets you animate the modulation of your wavetable source(s), and then lets you filter the result with virtual-analog filters.
Beatmaking with iMaschine and Ableton Live
Video details below:
http://www.pointblankonline.net/ In the next 3 episodes in our ‘Making Music with Apps’ series Danny J Lewis shows you how you can put together professional sounding tracks on the move. In this tutorial he starts off with the beatmaking using Native Instrument’s iMaschine.
This approach is all about making the most of the unique qualities of each app and recording the results into Ableton as audio clips. The advantage is that you are committing the sound that you have made to audio so there is no temptation to endlessly fiddle with the synth parameters or the intricacies of the midi patterns and you can get on with the task of arranging the parts to make that banging tune that your 8 bar loop had promised!

Propellerhead Reason: Radical Piano as a Send Effect
In this video, Line 6’s Propellerhead Product Specialist Matt Piper shows you how to use Propellerhead’s new Radical Piano Rack Extension as a Send Effect for processing audio. Although the example in the video shows the effect being used on drums, this effect can also sound great on vocals or solo instruments.
Syntorial: The Ultimate Synthesizer Tutorial
Synthesizers are POWERFUL beasts. Indeed, no other musical instrument gives us so much control over our sound. But that control comes with a STEEP learning curve. For many of us, the wall of buttons, knobs and sliders is so intimidating that we resort to browsing through endless presets, or mindlessly tweaking parameters until we either stumble upon something interesting or quit in a flurry of curse words.
Enter SYNTORIAL, the synth-tutorial-to-end-all-synth-tutorials. I’m sure your brain is just brimming with questions.
