Categories: News

Operators

Mark Mosher from Modulate This! has been posting up some fun and educational one off experiments with synth patches which are aimed at “one patch performances.”  This means that only one instance of a particular synth is used with a healthy bit of automation to play out a complex song or sequence over time. Operator [...]

Hey everyone, Thanks to receiving loads of constructive feedback over the last year about my site, I have greatly simplified the design to be far more user friendly than it was before.

    Hi Nick -
  Just finished watching your tutorials for the first time yesterday, and wanted to let you know
how much I gained from them. Your approach to sound design is exactly what I need right now, and I will definitely
be going over them again in the near future. Also, your introduction to the various tools in Live
was also very helpful. Very timely for me…Having been burned in the past, I probably
would not have given the tutorials a shot without that, and I'm very glad I did.
