Ableton Live Operator synth tutorial
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- Tutorial of Ableton's Operator synth plugin. I go over all the different buttons and settings and briefly explain what FM synthesis is. Operator is the FM synth that comes with Ableton Suite. Operator has 4 operators and various different algorithms. There's even a standard multimode filter as well as non-sine oscillators so you can use Operator as a subtractive synth if you wanted to. FM synthesis is based on modulating sine waves as audio-rate. When one oscillator controls the pitch of another you start to get timbral shifts which you can then use to make any kind of sound.

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!
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

Sacha Baron Cohen takes speed and teaches me synthesis
😂😂😂
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.
Thanks for this amazing tutorial. It's rare to find tutorials this good, all the information compressed, but not at the cost of clarity.
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!
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.
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...
You have the greatest ableton instrument tutorials in the planet!!!!
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.
thanks!
@@onceuponasynth Quick question. Where is Envelopes 'Modulation Amount' knob in 'Filter'' like one in Analog. Is the Wet/Dry knob same here ?
love your channel. one of the rare cases where playback speed 1x is plenty :)
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.
The basic FM concepts really well explained !!
Thnx , very informative, this made me dive into ableton.
Really concise and everything just so interesting
Great!!
Thank You for sharing.
Greetings from Cabo Verde Islands.
Cheers
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
The "Time" knob in the global section is something that should be on every FM synth.
Dear friend, your tutorials are awesome
This was so informative. I thought I knew Operator but this video made me realise how much I didn't know! Thanks.
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 ;)
One of the best tutorials on RUclips! Thank You for your help.
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!
What an amazing operator tutorial. Just one word - AWSOME. You really know it all very thoroughly .
YOU ARE LITERALLY A SAVIOR
Awesome video editting and clarity. Thanks great quality !
Incredibly helpful! Appreciate you taking the time to go piece by piece
Very good lesson, no bs, thorough. Thanks
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.
Many thanks for your help.
Wow you really went in depth with it
Amazing tutorial. Cleared up a lot of things quickly!
Second time I have seen a video from you: both were very good! Perfect speed of information for me. Subscribed! 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.
Can't believe this was a normal speed video, it felt like I'd forgotten 1.25 on in the RUclips settings.
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!
Really great explanation of all the components without the "noise" :) Thanks for sharing. +1 to a followup with some cool sound generation :)
your really good at teaching things
Great video man, thanks I learned a lot!
Great video, thank you.
Great video - you highlighted several things I was not aware of with Operator. Cheers!
really great overview dude, thank you
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.
this is proper done
Thanks for your video I not understand FM from 1 month but you r video are complete my knowledge
this is my favorite plugin :D
Great work.
not a single "ah" or "um" wow well done!
This was so helpful, thank you so much!
thank you for your video
Deadass i need to watch this tutorial a hundred times to get operator embeded in my brain! xD
Great tutorials on the ableton synths! They will help me alot. Thanks!! :)
Thank you very much for this. Super informative and inspiring.
good, but not enough audio examples of how the parameters affect the actual sound
this was class
Thank you for this helpful tutorial
Great video. Just a tiny correction, the Coarse is NOT the octave is the harmonic/partial relationship.
Thank you so much bro
first minute, and mind kaboooom, replay, nice explanation
thanks man, really helpful stuff
Excellent, Thaks
very very good! and i rarely comment on videos...
Great tutorial- thanks
Thanks for this tutorial !
Beautiful explanation W🔥W
what a powerful synth
great vid tnx for uping my level!! great explaining
I NEEDED THIS
heeey! Thank you! Super helpful and informative
Thanks. Your first couple minutes made this unusable tool usable really quickly.
this was awesome, thank u for taking the time!
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
Ableton should give you cash for this!! Thank you
Thanks for the great insight!
very helpful
very well explained!
AWESOME VID
note to self: operator is only included in the suite, not intro nor standard.
This is the best and easyest explanation about FM synthesys ! Great !!!
Great video! Appreciate a lot!
Very pro thx alot. Could you make tutorial about Waves new Flow Motion?
15:50 three roles it can be both at the same time
sytrus is leaps ahead of this
thank you very much!
what happens if only c and a have sound, when I used d, there is no sound...
It only has 4 operators?
does operator come with abelton live 11 standard ?
good video! Buttt... it would be much better if we could see more of the operator interface and less of you.
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).
@@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 ;
The begining sounds like city is mine by drake
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
yeaaah ! Operator !!
❤️🙏
Are you the Synth? Why are you occupying most of the screen?
takk..
Jeez I think i will leave operator alone now lol
I really dont know what your are saying
WUT? 😫 so complicated
