Hey thanks a lot!!

🙏🙏🙏

Thank you!!

Thanks for the comment, I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

🙏

That's very kind, thank you.

The pad is a Cascadia line that I played into the Mood and sampled on the Push. I really like how it worked in the background. :)

Thanks a lot, I appreciate that!!

Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much!!

The Intellijel Cascadia! It's playing the main lead lines in this track.

Thank you!! I'm feeling great about this setup, definitely planning on doing a lot more with it. :)

Thank you!!! There's minimal processing in this vid with the Mood tbh, most of the effects I'm just running in Ableton (delay, reverb, compression, eq...). The mood was just sampling the Cascadia and pitching it up an octave at certain points, but that's it, you can definitely do similar things with a pitch shifting delay. Also, I'm playing it duophonically here, osc 2 is playing the bass line independent of osc 1, and you can set this up in the midi settings thanks to a newish firmware. You can separate the oscillators with the mixer and tune them to different octaves with each having their own filter and envelope, very fun to be able to play bass and lead all on one instrument. :)

@@benjaminmauch_ Wow thats really cool! Interesting that you ran it through ableton effects, sounds so nice. How did you get that ambient pad thing that starts at 0:30? Is that also the Cascadia? I'm assuming its something pre recorded that you launch with the push? That sound really takes the ambience up a level for me 😍.

@@itsdrawkcab5899 Yeah that sound at :30 is a sampled granular piano thing that I just trigger with the push, thought it added a nice touch to the overall sound :) Also yeah, Ableton effects are super great, I typically use mostly their stock plugins for everything I do unless I want a really specific sound, and it's super nice to have all of them on the Standalone Push so I don't need any more pedals haha!!

Great! Thanks for replying. Could you maybe explain a bit on how you make that sampled granular piano? Is that something you can do in push standalone as well?

@@itsdrawkcab5899 I used a patch by Reverb Machine in their pack "Motions": reverbmachine.com/sounds/motions-lofi-ambient-ableton/

Thanks for listening.

Thanks so much! It's a winning combination, feels nice and compact but super powerful and of course super playable. I'll have to try using the looper when I get a chance, right now I've just been keeping it simple and just using the Ableton step sequencer, but I would like more options for that as well, kinda limited. Hopefully we'll get some new things to try with Ableton 12.

Thanks a lot! Really enjoying this combination.

Thank you!

🙏

I might just do that. 😁

Thank you!!

Thanks. :)

Thank you! I see that you're making Cascadia vids as well :)

@@benjaminmauch_yes I love it!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! Cascadia is wonderful, I love how good it sounds coupled with how small and compact it is. And yes, there are two voices being played simultaneously, I have 2 separate midi tracks played by the Push into Cascadia, oscillator 1 is the lead and oscillator 2 is the bass line. Also, I have the Chase Bliss mk 2 set up as a send/return effect with Cascadia's pedal output, not doing and crazy modulation with it other than the Mood sampling the sounds being played and when I turn it on it plays back with reverb and pitch shifting. It's a really fun setup, very playable and compact and I'm really digging it. :)

Thanks very much, @@benjaminmauch_ - really helpful!! I have a Polyend Tracker and can envision how it will work with CASCADIA based on your Push 3 use here. Have you used CASCADIA in any other studio setups (I've seen your other video)? I've read a great thread on MODWIGGLER, and from a Eurorack perspective METROPOLIX gets mentioned regularly as a module that would mesh beautifully with the synth, even as a 1-module case setup; The 0-CONTROL also makes some appearances on KZbin.. Looking forward to joining the CASCADIA club! Thanks again. 😀

@@crtzmo Oh cool, I used to have a Polyend Tracker and loved it, you can definitely do similar things with it's midi out as I'm doing here with the Push. I'm still new to Cascadia, so haven't used it in any other setup yet, but I'm planning on making some vids and music using some euro to sequence and effect it in the future!

@@benjaminmauch_ thank you, that's really encouraging to hear! feeling like we have some parallels here -- looking forward to your next videos! Cheers, Benjamin!

🙏

Thank you so much!! Love your music and vids. Enjoy the new Push!!

I never used the push 2 but I absolutely love this version. It's perfect for sketching out ideas without the computer and then transferring files over and expanding on them later. I've played live with it and I love that I didn't have to use my computer to have all of the sounds I wanted. Definitely would recommend it if you have the cash to spend!

Thanks. I intentionally tried my best to hold back when writing this, although it's hard to do with all of the options on the push haha!

@@benjaminmauch_I know 😅. Well done

🙏

Thank you!!! I really love this synth, the sounds you can get are incredible and it's fun to play.

Thank you!

Chase Bliss Mood Mk2!

I seriously appreciate that so much! Comments like this inspire me to keep releasing videos! I've added links to my music in the song description - I just released a new album with ExoPAC Recordings last summer and will be releasing another later this year. Thanks again!!

🙏

Hey thanks! Appreciate you stopping by!

Really appreciate that! I'm loving this minimal setup for myself, hoping to do more vids like this in the near future. :)

Thank you! Loving the Cascadia!!!

Thanks so much! The Push is doing all the sequencing with midi- one of the tracks is running Melodic Steps, which is part of Ableton's Creative Extensions Pack. It's fun for creating quick generative type sequences.

Hi Levi! Really appreciate you saying that, and I'm glad I inspired you to get an amazing synth. :) And yes, still making music these days, have a new album on the way and some other releases on Spotify and stuff. Good luck with the Peak!!

@@benjaminmauch_ I somehow completely missed "It Feels Great But the Planet Is Dying"! The peak has been great. It's so lovely. Good luck with the new releases! :)
