    I followed along on my OT MKII and I would consider this one video on par with college courses i took on audio engineering. I learned synthesis, i learned signal path....it was really one of my more productive nights on the Octatrack. Thank you, sir... a wonderful experience.
    I hope you are well and look forward to more videos from you soon. I will also be going back through and following along with my machine on other videos.
    thank you again.

      thank you! I have plenty of white noise samples I could have used - I quite like the extra variation introduced by the continuous re-sampling though (and makes for a more interesting video). Also, for 'real' noise you would definitely want to use a thru machine and not a sample - my scenario is kind of in-between

      thanks a lot!! essentially everything I do on OT or MDUW is just a translation or extension of techniques and concepts I have already explored quite a bit with my modular setups, and I bought OT primarily to use as a 'super-module' paired with my main eurorack - have been meditating a bit recently on what I want the next configuration of that system to look like :D

    • @0Fdigital
      @0Fdigital 5 лет назад +1

      @@maxmarco Ahh! I've gone the opposite way recently-I just started a small Eurorack setup (with Elements as my first module, as an extension of what I've been doing with the comb filter) with the intention of making a small instrument that I can control from the OT :D
      I'm guessing the Eurorack experience will get me even more into the idea of using my Elektron gear in a modular mindset, and vice versa.

    i learn so many little tips from these videos it's incredible. no one else covers this kind of sound design on this machine. you are a hero. also that comb filtered noise sounds like Arthur Russel's Cello. I wonder if there is a karplus-strong element to it, maybe since you added delay or if the comb filter just does that on it's own.
    anyway, thank you for your service

    • @maxmarco
      @maxmarco  4 года назад +1

      this particular application of a comb filter is essentially identical to Karplus-Strong synthesis - Arthur Russell's heavy use of processing/FX definitely brings his sound closer to these electronic emulations. It's also quite likely he used a variety of similar techniques that would create similar tones - high feedback with a flanger, phaser, chorus, frequency shifter, and a bunch of other time-based FX and using a harmonically rich input signal will tend to generate broadly similar sounds

    • @christdolphin69
      @christdolphin69 3 года назад

      @@maxmarco thanks for the response. are you aware of any hardware tools that provide that sort of processing? particularly Frequency Shifting? or any that you use yourself? i find most of those very useful in ableton, especially ableton's stock effects when manipulating my field recorded material to bring out new more alien textures from organic sources but i would like to be able to do it without plugins if possible. I just got the T Resonator, which might cover a lot of this. I had the mutable warps in the psat, which was great for creative vocoding/ring mod/cross mod/fm/bitcrushing, but i prefer non-euro stuff. one thing i never really found was a frequency shifter. there's gotta be at least a guitar pedal that does it well
      i also had no idea that russell used a lot of effects. that makes sense though. thank you again for the insight

      Octatrack is pretty crazy for modulation - 3 LFOs per audio track, 3 LFOs per MIDI track for 48 total LFOs - doesn't quite have a fully abstracted mod matrix but is very flexible and incredibly powerful - it's a bit hard to describe all of what's possible, especially once you factor in some of the more advanced techniques I have covered on my channel such as MIDI loopback, which gives you pretty crazy modulation possibilities (but requires some solid knowledge to excecute ofc)

    What's the advantage of keeping the original FLEX track recording, instead of just getting the initial sample and going from there?

    • @maxmarco
      @maxmarco  6 лет назад +1

      a sample of noise is a static thing and isn't 'true' noise - to get true noise you would want to use a thru machine (or a very particular setup of a flex machine that was not covered in this video) - a continuously refreshing sample of 'real' noise that is always re-triggered from the beginning is somewhere in between, and introduces an interesting type of variation which I remark on a bit in the narration
      to elaborate further, probably the most convenient way on the Octatrack to produce a sample of noise is to record the inputs and then normalize the recording

      the headphone output of Octatrack simply outputs the main, the cue, or a mix of both - it really doesn't have anything to do with this technique, unless maybe by accident you are monitoring the cue and not the main, and once you set up re-sampling from the cue like I do in the later portion of this video you'd probably want to set the headphone mix to be only the main output so you don't hear the cued tracks mixed in

      max marco I tried doing everything you did step by step. I’ll have to try again but just do the main outputs and if by chance it does work on headphones I’ll put it just on main out. I got an Octatrack mainly because of your videos and my music making needs you’re so educated on this instrument and it really inspired me. If for some reason it doesn’t work again could we have a 1-on-1 and you could help me out?

      Sorry, I can't afford to offer pro-bono lessons or consultations, particularly as that time is best spent making videos that can benefit potentially thousands of people at once. Generally speaking most new users are making very simple/subtle mistakes and it can often take quite some time to figure that out. Sometime in the next month or so I will be officially launching my Patreon - www.patreon.com/maxmarco (as you can see, it is already 'soft-launched') - where I am offering a couple slots for once-per-month 1-hour 1-on-1 lessons/consultations, and currently the 'carry-out' patronage tier (sample packs and project files) actually grants access to the Octatrack project file that I ended up with at the end of filming this video. I will be publishing lots more sample packs, Octatrack project files, and other related goodies to my Patreon over time

      most of my videos aren't really aimed at brand-new users, but I have done a couple 'important basics' videos - ruclips.net/video/wAhNRKDNEfQ/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/0EKMXrzIAT8/видео.html - I would also say that this comb filter video and the 'filter ping percussion' video could be followed along with by more ambitious new users - ruclips.net/video/wiIOGJuxl4Q/видео.html - and the 'production sessions' videos might also be helpful - ruclips.net/p/PLwc8ITzX9he5Wj8zmRrEWRYKRIg8rfucE - just focus on simple stuff and having fun, don't worry too much about learning a bunch of stuff at once, it takes time for things to sink in

    I am dreaming about seeing your synthesis skills on a Dave smith instrument tempest which is a monster in synthesis ! Anyway , I still do not understand why the electron company do not propose a job for you ...
    At 18,11 min , Could you explain again
    what you are saying about the recording buffer system ?

      Elektron probably can't afford me :) Dave Smith gear sounds great, actually used to have a Tetr4 a long time ago. Re: the record buffer display quirk I'm talking about at 18:11 I made a video specifically on that topic that should be helpful - ruclips.net/video/SzkwTPRCZHw/видео.html

      @maxmarco  5 лет назад

      Makenoise Mysteron is a digital waveguide algorithm and is far more complex on many levels although my impression is that it almost certainly using one or more tuned digital delay lines (i.e. comb filters) - the Octatrack simply gives direct access to tuned comb filtering in its most basic form
