Description: These in-depth lessons demonstrate the inner workings of one of the most powerful multi-mode synthesizer tools: Ableton Operator.
Designed as a “Swiss Army knife,” the Operator is capable of handling the most demanding sound design tasks—and keeping the process simple and efficient from start to finish. Join master sound designer James Patrick as he details every element of the instrument. While he begins by exploring it as a basic synthesis engine, by the end of the lessons, he’ll demonstrate that this instrument is capable of creating the most advanced, futuristic sounds of our time. He’ll cover combining additive, subtractive, and FM synth elements. He’ll also cover the details of creating drums, percussion, leads, horns, pads, and evolving textures.
