Ableton Live Tutorial - Monster percussion sample layering technique for sound design and glitch

In this tutorial for Ableton Live users, we build a sample layering instrument rack that randomises sample selection, pitch, loop length, and panning. We use Sampler for this tutorial, but Simpler + Drum Rack could also work, albeit with slightly more labour.

Very clear and chaotic! Thanks for the next level stuff!

amazing thank you

Awesome vid, one thing I'd like to know though-I don't quite understand why you added a chord device and then clamped it down with the Scale. Is it to add additional voices to the sound? But then they would all be C1? Or does it just act as a multiple trigger? Thanks!

[@toneparticle]

The signal is split into 6 different paths by the first chord device. The means we can layer 6 different samples at a time. If you look at the samples in my Sampler instrument around 3:00, they are triggered by C# 1 - E2. The incoming MIDI note is clamped to C1 and then increased by a value determined by the random device, which is set to 16 choices, so if the random device adds 1 to C1, we get a C#1 so we hear "kick_cracker". If it adds 5 to C1 we get a F1 so we hear a "kick_gentle". Hope this makes a bit of sense. Thanks for watching!

@@toneparticle Ok yeah that's what I was thinking, it's like a multiple triggering device basically. Thanks for the vids I've been really enjoying them, it's nice to have some advanced content on YT for once-I think there's a market for that. Also like messing around with FreqOut a lot!

[@toneparticle]

@@Magic_carpet666 Awesome. Thanks for that!
