      ruclips.net/video/3BU-WAQo4P8/видео.html I just wanted to point out that, instead of using an LFO, there's also the "Play By Key" option, which you can engage by right clicking on the Freq knob in the filter section. In the context menu, on top of the "Edit MIDI" etc. commamnds, you will find it. This allows for the filter cutoff to modulate according to Note Pitch. I like this series, because I still got something new out of it, even though I'm a Live user since 11 years now and I didn't think Operator would hold any more secrets for me. Just goes to show... Thanks for this!

    Bro thank you so much for this! I recently upgraded to 11 suite and have been kinda intimidated by operator. I’ve watched shorter videos that were endlessly more complicated and all theory but no application. This video answered a lot of questions for me!

    Really, thank you, I'm recommending this to all my friends.

  • @krzemian
    @krzemian 5 лет назад +5

    For kick drum, snare and hi hats, it would be even better to set Release to the same value as Decay. This way if you release the button prematurely it will still play the whole sequence. (not sure if this has been covered as I've only seen parts of the tutorial so far)

  • @fatfreddyscat85

    Awesome. I was going to drop a ton of money on a Digitone, but thought maybe I should take some "lessons" on FM synthesis first so I'm not going into it totally blind. Remembered Operator was an FM soft synth, found your video, and now I'm making a ton of patches. Extremely useful, very helpful, remixed a track from one of my musical idols using a lot of stuff I learned here, and he put it on his Patreon. Mega thanks

    @Thayne2222 Год назад

    The time knob is honestly one of my absolute favorite features about operator, especially for making one shot percussion samples. Instead of going through and tweaking the envelopes again you straight up turn one knob. Combine that with filter setting tweaks and sweeps and you can just churn out white noise based sounds (claps, hats, knocks, etc etc.)
