How to Create Ableton Simpler Effects

In this video we go over how you can use Ableton Simpler to create wild and crazy special effects for your compositions and sound designs. We also explore using Ableton's Warp algorithms inside of Simpler to get some time based wackiness.

[@sergenity]

Thanks) that's why i start learn ableton,sempler! same kind of opportunities can do some vst in market?

[@mikeexits]

You are awesome, thank you for this.

[@Winnders]

Thanks for this buddy!!! @7.05 faster way instead of double clicking on channel and clip is to use Shift+Tab. Shift/tab = swap between device view and clip view. Just leaving here as a workflow tip for peeps x

[@Winnders]

Btw, subbed

[@jammanmcguin]

@@Winnders Nice!

[@charel5222]

Dude - I was floored how clear and concise your explanation was - amazing lesson, thank you! Can't believe this is free content what a time to be alive. Subs and likes.. yeet!

[@PANTYCELYN]

Couldn't agree more. Subscribed!

[@MC-kp1hw]

I love your videos man. They have helped me in a big way in developing my sound as an artist.

[@keithbuckel8399]

I love your get in and "go hog wild" approach. I got live 10 and vowed not to record or save anything for a while and just focus on one instrument at a time in Live 10 and get a deep understanding of each one. I've found on YT your tutorial videos to be the best in that aspect and now feel that I can make any noise I want using just Live. I'm currently feeling guilty about the amount of abuse I've given to some artist vocal samples. THANKS MAN!

[@japrar]

Great tips! By the way, Shift+Tab is the best way to go back and forth between your device chain and your clip view - no need to double click on the track header or the clip.

[@PlaylistProductions]

Oh..

[@G8tr1522]

one of my top 3 favorite things about live is : multiple ways to skin a cat. Several different users can all achieve the same result, but the methods they employ to arrive there may be totally different. This makes Live feel more like you're exploring your own personal program rather than learning the rules of someone else's program. I'm sure other DAWs have this (soft) feature, but Live is the first DAW that i fully comprehended.

[@philconeron867]

I love these sort of tutorials. Simple explanation of features with examples. Thank you.

[@apiekoekie2077]

I'm really happy I found this channel!

[@Paul-gp5om]

Loving your Ableton tutorials mate. Totally inspiring and very easy to follow. :)

[@blackmonolith4271]

Man! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! These videos are exactly what I needed at the right time. I have been reaching out for a way to expand my sound design. And these videos are it! Thanks Bro!

[@treyxhouston]

these effects are crazy i had no idea you could do all of this with simpler, woww 🔥

[@US3Rofficial]

i'm playing at an experimental electronic festival in a couple months, this stuff will be perfect for live improv

[@ianmcgarvey3694]

Great videos, no clickbait, no ads.. the way a video should be! 👍

[@jhonatandavidbolanosespino1679]

It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.

[@ghostape]

One of the best tutorials I've watched...Bravo Sir ;-)

[@electronicexposure]

So I just entered the current year with a fresh purchase of Live S10 after years of using Jeskola Buzz. I love this program and the resources on youtube, thanks for the useful content!

[@alexandrelevy3916]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT MATERIAL !!!

[@juliuswachira6203]

This is great, thank you!

[@octtobuss3244]

fu***ng nice and simply information for using the basic option of the simpler...THX

[@pyro7497]

Thank you for this!! As an Intro user, it can be hard to find new ways to make interesting sounds, I never knew you could do stuff like that!

[@TorstenBorg]

Thanks! This is super cool! I can already imagine what I could do with my rock-ish guitar tracks using this method.

[@willemschonken5120]

Really cool tips in here thanks!

[@JO-nt6tk]

Tons of great ideas and sound design possibilities, I use simpler all the time but mostly just for drum samples Thanks for making this video.

[@ChazSeamus28]

Thank you.. don't see many new ableton videos.. keep em coming!

[@IdiotycznyyMan]

Thank you very much, I have made great progress thanks to you

[@honigtamara]

Thanks, mate.

[@seekersystems]

Second vid in. Style incredibly clear. Keep it up.

[@nathanjmansfield9969]

thank you, really good tutorial. subbed.

[@mark-yj5sg]

Thank you sir 👍🏻

[@DominikDale]

understanding that "warp as [2 Bars]" just blew my mind, never knew that was a thing... I've been producing for 6 YEARS

[@jtms1200]

aka: how to turn simpler into a granular synth - really cool!

[@pranavbatta.]

Wow such detailed explanation and experimentation. With this being said the other half of simpler is yet unexplored which is the control section of the sample. Clearly shows it aint that simpler. 😉 Cheers again for the good stuff.

[@danh4677]

Dude you're such a beast thank you so much!!!

[@5StringTheory]

Thanks for this video!!

[@earlchives]

thank you man!

[@user-uz8ke7zv3r]

Respect from Japan!! Awesome

[@MrPntr21]

[@eduardshipulin7280]

Thank you so much!

[@digbigle]

Thanks Man

[@demskymusic]

Really helped. Thanks

[@HowardCharlesUK]

I can see ways of using this in my tracks now 😁

[@pellecoveringsongs]

great video - inspiring

[@certifiedleanproductions]

My guy. excellent tutorial and explanation.

[@Ricardomartinez-vi2tx]

Saludos desde Colombia y gracias por los tips. 😉

[@wiggesobk]

That was very helpful!

[@Duncangoldiemusic]

Best aphex twin tutorial I’ve seen

[@ethereal_zephyr5513]

Great tutorial!

[@avkynva1354]

Good stuff!

[@petrfux]

Wow ❤

[@ryansavic9170]

Great vid. You're one of the best with the Live tutorials man, keep 'em coming. One request though... Please minimize the info view in the bottom left corner. I can't imagine you need it, and I find it super distracting as it shuffles text every time you move your mouse. Much love.

[@zk351]

Great vid, subbed

[@ndr_924]

Just thanks!!

[@motherbrain2000]

Useful stuff!

[@kekente]

Wow! Thanks for sharing :D

[@_banja]

Didn't learn anything new but interesting to see how other people use this stuff

[@hardgainer7396]

What the flux man :)) Great video. Btw it really hurts my heart that those warp controls (like flux f.e.) are still not automatable or mapable. But the last one is killer, brilliant way to play with the texture of a monotone bass pattern on the fly just by turning the pitch knob from Pitch midi effect. Lovely

[@ohadshabi4318]

Could be cool if you’d like to make tutorial of Live‘s device Drum Buss :) In any case your videos are much appreciated, thanks :)

[@johncitizen8828]

Amazing tutorial. Where did you get those single cycle waveforms?

[@muddypalmsera]

Took a perfect sample and made noise.

[@mescale]

Some Glitched Piano sounds sounds like Limbo soundtrack in changing gravity level! 👍

[@productionplatform7145]

Perferct🔥

[@Zylinderz]

Prefrect*

[@bonesetter]

Almost like Make Noise Morphagene for free! Subbed!

[@RazeDee]

Simpler is so good

[@egogreen2045]

Cool! Is possible if we can play that piano sound in simpler with velocity/ dynamic/ human touch? u know what i meant :) btw just have ableton standard version here

[@everything-goes]

excellent

[@proteus1]

Ifi have push2 do I need the next daw up from lite or can I get aawy with lite. Would I be retricted with the amount of tracks I can use ?

[@delscoville]

With the sustain loop, can you set it to alternate forward/reverse instead of fade? Seems like that would be smoother. I don't yet have Ableton Live Lite, but ordered a controller that comes with it.

[@nelsoncolereis4058]

You can do that in Sampler, not in Simpler.

[@thomasdeserville]

Dam good tutorial

[@GK-hs5wz]

I know an excellent ableton tutorial when I see one

[@noordholland648]

gr8!

[@sssergey]

Wow. Now I know how was made that famous sound effect in Matrix... :-)

[@brandondcruz9778]

You're a really good teacher goddamn, wish they showed me this in fucking college

[@L48501]

Респектую, спасибо! Молодец!;-)

[@user-vd3if4wq6m]

shaper? or env midi effect latched to these params?

[@LaithFGC]

For some reason, I cannot both arm the simpler and have the record button be "red" on the audio track like he does at 4:40?

[@rhudson3290]

Ableton needs to hire you to be a spokesperson/teacher

[@Fishoilification]

This is a bit off topic but how do you increase playback speed of a loop while keeping the pitch the same? Automating global bpm would also speed up other elements which I don't want. An audio example of what I mean is the intro to New Slaves by Kanye

[@donnydarko7624]

It's one of the simpler controls

[@nicohalt3165]

8:13 me entering the divorcing speech

[@ecaribel]

2:49 Sound repeating faster if notes are higher. Is it possible to pitch sound without that effect?

[@musikgf]

go to your simpler patch and turn on 'warp'

[@MickyplaysProgressiveHouse]

I have dragged my sample into Simpler and I am hitting the keys on my pc keyboard, but those different pitches are not being triggered at all, i don't hear anything, i can only hear a sound when i press the playback button. My keyboard is enabled in the upper right corner next to that Pencil/Draw tool, but i still do not hear anything when i hit a keyboard button. Anybody got a solution for this?

[@jimroberts3504]

On the left side of your sample it has three options, classic/one shot/ splice. Set your sample to one shot.
