Ableton Tutorial: What is granular synthesis and why should I care?

[@Slynk]

What should I do my next tutorial about?

[@Akimbo.mp4]

how to grow a stache

[@richarquis]

Moustachular Synthesis, obviously.

[@jazielvillalobosrivera9705]

I am tryna make some pointy aggressive bass for a Bass House but mine sounds dull. Serum’s LFOs are not enough. The two experts on this that comes to my mind are Pegboard Nerds and Jauz. Idk if theres some tool or technique that I’ve been missing.

[@daniellopez-hx4hb]

Wavetable Ableton!

[@kintozero3169]

One of my favorite things to play is this velocity-sensitive slap bass synth, that only slaps at high velocities. So something about assigning parameters to different velocities. Also, gated arpeggiators.

[@BlinEd1]

I love how much fun you were having with this, so good to see you back on the tutorials!

[@CreativeRamy]

Discovered your channel several weeks ago and been watching a few things as I'm new to Ableton, just wanna say thanks for the great creative videos you do

[@MyStonerMind420]

Missed you my dude, glad you're back :)

[@AmbarishDeenadhayalraj]

Absolutely love your videos. I really appreciate how you're so passionate about what you're doing and really get into the details of how you do it.

[@FunkFerret]

Great video bro! You're tutorials are the only KZbin clips I can manage to watch from start to finish.

[@Slynk]

Thankyou so much Glenn ❤️

[@jbcholbi]

Thank you Slynk, I very apreciate a lot your great ableton tutorials. They are very pro, usefull and inspiring. Best teacher ever!

[@mollycoke9988]

Slynk your back!!!!!!!!!!!!good to see you back!!!!!!!

[@dazza42UK]

Great to have you back (taking a break from climbing?) with another inspiring video. Your Ableton tutes are the best.

[@mrclaytron]

And the star of the show? That rockin' stash! Awesome video as always man!!

[@HiEnergyMusic]

Thanks for making this video on this new Grain Scanner. For me Granulator II is still the favourite granular synth with Live. I've used it in many of my own sound design and ambient noise texture videos.

[@Slynk]

For sure. I prefer the grain scanner but techniques apply to both. Glad you liked the video.

[@nachtigahl]

That note at the end is totally relatable!! Wishing I wasn't working on friday so I could come see you play! We'll meet someday for sure!

[@Slynk]

The red room show is Saturday my dude!

[@RISEmtn]

Yesss you're back! And with a tut about granular fuck yeah

[@medik7493]

ok, you just made me buy yet another granular synth. Thanks for another exellent video

[@dmitriysviatashov1966]

Thank Bro- U r helping to go deeper in Ableton....i got a lot of Fun this it!!! Hello from Ukraine!!!

[@inakinovellon]

Awesome! And very well explained. Thank you, artist.

[@iamMTNofficial]

The stache knows all. Great stuff as always dude 👍

[@Slynk]

Thanks homie

[@BobBell.]

Awesome, love them effects on the second vocal. Like Tippers sound fx, and that underground sewer sounded ace. I’m away from my computer for a few days so can’t check but do you think Granulator can achieve similar sounds or is it better/easier in Grain Scanner?

[@christophermatthews8601]

this is the best vid on youtube

[@Ethan-qe7cr]

I’ve brought grain scanner, Quanta, Portals Granular synth and I can say that Abletons granulator 2 and Simplers Granular modes are by far the best granular synths. However, Quanta is very good at making pads!!!

[@8BitThoughts]

He's back!

[@adlibbeats]

Dude 06:54! >_

[@kwatts9272]

New sub :) enjoyed watching you mess around with the different sounds.

[@Slynk]

Welcome :)

[@BIG_PASTA]

YA MANS IS BACK!

[@peacefulpigeon7254]

Really inspiring thanks

[@gooncrusha6638]

Thanks Slynk!!!!!

[@rylanpeery1925]

Good vibes. Cheers.

[@markderv]

Totally feeelin' the 'tache, bro'!

[@wolfetrax]

Another Slynk Tutorial? yues

[@worldwidehappiness]

Maybe for videos like these, increase the zoom (in Preferences) so we can see the instrument on small monitors, e.g. laptop.

[@Slynk]

Fair point.

[@ArcadeBlaster]

sounds good dude

[@AnguzBeef]

Just so everyone knows, there are free granulaizers on the max4live(.com) site. Their all amazing, and if anyone hasnt delved into m4l before, i HIGHLY recommend checking out all the cool free things the community has created for ableton. It's an entire world of cool plug ins people have created.

[@fathersonalcohol6490]

Awesome tyoot yo !

[@chuefroxz9408]

this is insane!

[@alanattias]

Great tutorial. Is there anything remotely resembling this in stock Ableton?

[@DustinBrewer8]

Awesome, you sold me on it! You mentioned you had a tutorial to create the project at 7:30; can you post the link for that? I'm new to Ableton so trying to figure out how to create some of those sounds.

this is dope!!

[@djkingkho1419]

excelente !

[@Vilete_Official]

so funny and useful! thanks!

[@BurritoBrooks]

I hope this comes with Ableton 11. WOW!

[@Slynk]

It doesn't.

[@BurritoBrooks]

@@Slynk Thanks! I'll either buy this one or experiment with the one in Pigments.

[@ronental6424]

this is crazy stuff

[@dallas-cole]

The Halo OST gave me goosebumps

[@sebastiaangoogleguidion8820]

Pretty cool intro , did you make that yourself?

[@Slynk]

I made the audio. A fan made the animation.

[@bliptripmusic]

Please use that sample in a track.

[@gwecc]

woooooow I *need* it!

[@sqyttles]

Grain grain!

[@muaddib667]

How do you not have a million subs?

[@Slynk]

I dunno. Maybe I should start my videos like this... "Yo yo yo wassup guys, it's ya boi Slynk back atcha with another big tutorial. Before I get started, make sure you drop a nuclear warhead on that like and subscribe button"

[@worldwidehappiness]

@@Slynk It's because you don't put out enough videos. The guys with big subs put out a video every week.

[@datenklau4783]

still missing the feedback fridays :/

[@Slynk]

Yeah I got sick of being hit with copyright claims.

[@ajturgeon8719]

Do you do lessons?

[@Slynk]

I don't usually do private lessons.

[@sancho316]

Ha I just though of you. and here you are. :)

[@deaconfrost5935]

Slynk is the fuckin' man yo! Love this dude I'd offer him a handy-jay....

[@Slynk]

No thanks 😂

[@deaconfrost5935]

@@Slynk I'm triggered.....

[@Slynk]

Best I can do is a wet-willy.

[@deaconfrost5935]

@@Slynk Urban Dictionary: Wet Willy When one wets a finger, generally the pinky, usually by covering it in saliva then inserts into somebodys earhole and spins eraticly causing overall discomfort in order to wreak havoc or humiliate.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ He did not....... just had to pull out the Halo theme song

[@drama5443]

lmao r u high

[@Slynk]

Quite the opposite my friend. I don't use cannabis or nicotine or any other drug for that matter. I'm proud of it too.

[@frndly.3492]

Just use simpler!!!

[@Slynk]

You can do granular-like things with simpler yes but it's much more difficult and not fully featured like an actual granular synth will be.

[@jbcholbi]

Slynk can do anythink you can imagine with simpler and more. This new tool is really great, like the other "Amazing Noises" Max devices how I can see now...
