I have been using Ableton Live for more than a decade and operator for many years. Nonetheless, I gained a deeper understanding of this synth from watching this video. You, sir, are rtfm enhanced!
I'm watching your explanation of 'operator' versus 'oscillator' over and over again. One of the best breakdowns I've heard. It's really helping me pin down the ideas.
A solid tutorial. I was able to follow along about 90%. Things weren't working as shown, then I realized my envelope was too long for all the cool stuff to emerge. Then I was back in the saddle. What I really like is that you can also use it as a subtractive synth, as well. Very powerful stuff. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Oh my god. This is such a good clear synthesis tutorial in general. Very new, and learned so much, not just about Operator, but about synth fundamentals. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for this explanation, but i can't help but feel i'm left with the question Why?? It would be extremely helpful to see someone with such a thorough understanding of this device demonstrate why it exists and what you can do with it musically that you can't achieve way quicker and easier with a subtractive synth.
I like your new ableton synth series. However I'd like to you will show us some hidden tricks of these synth OR how you use it in your track. If this possible, of course. Cheers and thank you!
Even though i'm a long time Ableton user, I just wanted to say your tutorials for the built-in Ableton instruments are fantastic. I've been linking your videos to anyone I know that's new to the DAW, etc.
This is a brilliant video, keep it up! Your differentiation between modes of synthesis at the start was very clear and succinct, it had me hooked from the get go. This has helped me a great deal with diving into operator -which seemed much more daunting before I started watching. Cheers
fantastic info. I wish you took more time to provide examples of using these techniques, but that may be because I am a beginner. Thank you for this content!
Thanks for making this. It was quite useful. It would have been nice if you had explained a little more about oscillator routing, and how the modulating oscillators behave then they're in parallel and how it affects the timbre.
I’ve been using Operator for a couple of years now, and I’ve still learned a lot from this vid. All the Ableton series have been great in fact! Would you be able to make a vid focusing on the looper and how you can build live tracks?
thank you - that's really a very coherent video. even I know the DX7 and played a lot with the Digitone in the last weeks, this offers some nice features, I didn't notice yet. thumbs up!
Great tutorial, thanks! i guess im not the first one mentioning that but i think you mixed octaves and overtones when you explained the coarse button ;)
I am using ableton for years now. However operator never clicked. I understand how it works, but it takes quite some effort to get pleasing sounds (where for example, I use Diva a lot for lush/warm sounds). Great tutorial tho, and your content is so clear and straight to the point that I just had to sub.
Same for me ! Every time I try yo use it in a project I end up spending hours tweaking knobs and parameters but I never get an usable sound... but still I like to explore the different possibilities.

i suppose that you didn't try to make fm sound on yamaha dx7? xD
Thanks Orange. I don't teach but RUclips made me realize I like teaching, so I'd love to do it one day. Right now I'm more comfortable at home behind a camera :). As for OSR, Ableton doesn't mention it, but I'm pretty sure it's the "Oscar" synth (because they say it's a british synth).
@@onceuponasynth Thanks, now I know what synth was behind ceephax in the mediteranean acid video, it's the oscar indeed XD as for teaching, you could do it at your home, I mostly do that (but I'm in a big city so I can move easely if necesserary) I would add that I'm agoraphobic but so far when you teach you are only in front of one person, and the necessity to teach correctly take over the fear most of the time :) it may sound stupid but to me, the only tricky part, is that, if you let people enter your studio and see all the gear, it's stressful for obvious reason ; i'm not materialist or paranoid with anything, but with my synth it''s another story XD usually I hide them under a big tissue or something, and when I trust people (or when I know where they live lol) I uncover my gear ;

brett marshall the fun manual! I love that one
That was the cleanest, most concise video on Operator I've ever encountered. Thank you!
+1 thx
True

Thanks for this amazing tutorial. It's rare to find tutorials this good, all the information compressed, but not at the cost of clarity.

That first 2 minutes or so of "high level explanation" really made a whole of sense to me. Well done! :)
Oh my god. This is such a good clear synthesis tutorial in general. Very new, and learned so much, not just about Operator, but about synth fundamentals. Thank you!
ok 2 mins and I've already received more info than everything I've learned about sound design in my life, whoa...
love your channel. one of the rare cases where playback speed 1x is plenty :)

Sacha Baron Cohen takes speed and teaches me synthesis
😂😂😂

thanks!
@@onceuponasynth Quick question. Where is Envelopes 'Modulation Amount' knob in 'Filter'' like one in Analog. Is the Wet/Dry knob same here ?
Very good lesson, no bs, thorough. Thanks
You have the greatest ableton instrument tutorials in the planet!!!!
The basic FM concepts really well explained !!
This was so informative. I thought I knew Operator but this video made me realise how much I didn't know! Thanks.

What an amazing operator tutorial. Just one word - AWSOME. You really know it all very thoroughly .
YOU ARE LITERALLY A SAVIOR
Incredibly helpful! Appreciate you taking the time to go piece by piece
Awesome video editting and clarity. Thanks great quality !
fantastic info. I wish you took more time to provide examples of using these techniques, but that may be because I am a beginner. Thank you for this content!
your really good at teaching things
Second time I have seen a video from you: both were very good! Perfect speed of information for me. Subscribed! Thank you.
Thnx , very informative, this made me dive into ableton.
Really concise and everything just so interesting
Dear friend, your tutorials are awesome
Thanks for making this. It was quite useful. It would have been nice if you had explained a little more about oscillator routing, and how the modulating oscillators behave then they're in parallel and how it affects the timbre.
Great!!
Thank You for sharing.
Greetings from Cabo Verde Islands.
Cheers
Really great explanation of all the components without the "noise" :) Thanks for sharing. +1 to a followup with some cool sound generation :)
This is the best and easyest explanation about FM synthesys ! Great !!!
Amazing tutorial. Cleared up a lot of things quickly!
The "Time" knob in the global section is something that should be on every FM synth.
Wow you really went in depth with it
Thanks for your video I not understand FM from 1 month but you r video are complete my knowledge
I’ve been using Operator for a couple of years now, and I’ve still learned a lot from this vid.
All the Ableton series have been great in fact!
Would you be able to make a vid focusing on the looper and how you can build live tracks?
Yeah! I've been wanting to learn about the Looper also.
Great video - you highlighted several things I was not aware of with Operator. Cheers!
thank you - that's really a very coherent video. even I know the DX7 and played a lot with the Digitone in the last weeks, this offers some nice features, I didn't notice yet. thumbs up!
Great tutorial, thanks! i guess im not the first one mentioning that but i think you mixed octaves and overtones when you explained the coarse button ;)
Great video man, thanks I learned a lot!
Deadass i need to watch this tutorial a hundred times to get operator embeded in my brain! xD
really great overview dude, thank you

this is my favorite plugin :D
Great tutorials on the ableton synths! They will help me alot. Thanks!! :)
This was so helpful, thank you so much!
Can't believe this was a normal speed video, it felt like I'd forgotten 1.25 on in the RUclips settings.
first minute, and mind kaboooom, replay, nice explanation
thanks man, really helpful stuff
Thanks. Your first couple minutes made this unusable tool usable really quickly.
Thank you very much for this. Super informative and inspiring.
where can I learn about the physics of sound design?
Great video, thank you.
Many thanks for your help.
Great video. Just a tiny correction, the Coarse is NOT the octave is the harmonic/partial relationship.
what a powerful synth
great vid tnx for uping my level!! great explaining
this is proper done
heeey! Thank you! Super helpful and informative
not a single "ah" or "um" wow well done!
Thank you for this helpful tutorial
Beautiful explanation W🔥W
Great work.
this was class
I NEEDED THIS
this was awesome, thank u for taking the time!
Great tutorial- thanks
very very good! and i rarely comment on videos...
Thanks for this tutorial !
I find FM synthesis very interesting, but I've never created a usable sound 😂
:D
this is a very necessary comment, thank you !
Same for me ! Every time I try yo use it in a project I end up spending hours tweaking knobs and parameters but I never get an usable sound... but still I like to explore the different possibilities.
i suppose that you didn't try to make fm sound on yamaha dx7? xD
good, but not enough audio examples of how the parameters affect the actual sound
does operator come with abelton live 11 standard ?
Thank you so much bro
Thanks for the great insight!
Very pro thx alot. Could you make tutorial about Waves new Flow Motion?
very well explained!
what happens if only c and a have sound, when I used d, there is no sound...
Ableton should give you cash for this!! Thank you
15:50 three roles it can be both at the same time
AWESOME VID
It only has 4 operators?
very helpful
Great video! Appreciate a lot!
sytrus is leaps ahead of this
thank you very much!
Great tutorial, thank you!
what filter is OSR ? I didn't hear properly sorry ! Awesome tutorial ! I was surprised I actually learned some stuff with your video
Thanks Orange. I don't teach but RUclips made me realize I like teaching, so I'd love to do it one day. Right now I'm more comfortable at home behind a camera :). As for OSR, Ableton doesn't mention it, but I'm pretty sure it's the "Oscar" synth (because they say it's a british synth).

yeaaah ! Operator !!
note to self: operator is only included in the suite, not intro nor standard.
❤️🙏
good video! Buttt... it would be much better if we could see more of the operator interface and less of you.
These tutorials would be so much more understandable if the tutor talked a bit slower. It's a lot of information in such short time.
Go on video settings and change the speed to 0.75x
Are you the Synth? Why are you occupying most of the screen?
The begining sounds like city is mine by drake
takk..
Jeez I think i will leave operator alone now lol
I really dont know what your are saying
WUT? 😫 so complicated
please stop shouting
We dont need to see you bro, just the computer screen.
