How to create LUSH ARPS (feat Moog Mother-32) | Tutorial

[@jae6220]

The mother 32 is quite sonically impressive

[@MilesKvndra]

It really is! Sounds very full for just 1 voice

[@drawaline279]

Love these explainers ❤

[@MilesKvndra]

That's great to hear, thank you for the feedback!

[@SURCOlive]

Great video! Thanks Miles!

[@MilesKvndra]

Cheers my dude, appreciate your feedback! Hope you are well :)

[@tatafashion30ies]

Love your Style ❤

[@hexwavemusic]

Great tutorial as always, your songs always have really nice arps 🙌

[@MilesKvndra]

Cheers my dude, appreciate to hear that! Very happy that you like my arps 🙌🏻

[@m4r4t43]

Very simple stuff but very inspiring!

[@MilesKvndra]

Thank you Bona! Happy to hear that 🙌🏻

[@Nikolaj67]

Very nice video, but could you also explain the patchbay. The why and how... what are the global settings of the mother? Which plug-ins you use? Midi settings? So many questions 😅😅😅😅

[@MilesKvndra]

Hey Nikolaj, I actually have a video on the patch bay and some other thoughts behind this patch, you can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp6qhWp4jZdspdksi=sugAjJAqNGHAob6m

[@MPCVINYL]

Really cool how you go in depth about that, hope to see more stuff like this :) i will hold my eyes open.. Especially for the Mother

[@MilesKvndra]

Cheers man that is great to hear! There is more to come on the M-32 for sure

[@petercane6376]

Great video Miles and a big thank you. I am a bit lost here. I have a Mother 32 but there is no arpeggiator. How did you get it to play arpeggios? Is it the way you have patched it?

[@MilesKvndra]

You're welcome! Unfortunately the M-32 itself doesn't have an arp so I sequenced it via Ableton Live and used Live's internal arpeggiator

[@petercane6376]

@@MilesKvndra Okay. I get it now. I love my hardware synths like Moog, Lyra etc. I was a bit snobby ( or stupid) about using DAWS but they would save me a bomb if I was to use their sequencers and Vallhalla effects? Seems the trend now. Whats your take on it please? Thanks for replying.

[@MilesKvndra]

@@petercane6376 I have experimented a lot with different setups but for me the best so far is a hybrid setup with DAW + external gear. It’s the most flexible for both playing live and making music in the studio and right now I wouldn’t want to go back to DAWless

Cheers Istvan! Moogfive back 🙏🏻

[@Heavycap]

Very nice video, thanks, one question, when you say that you are sending the reverb to the mother, I assume you have the mother going into Ableton via audio interface and then adding the reverb vst on top of the mother playing?

[@MilesKvndra]

Thank you! And yes, I'm sequencing the M-32 via Ableton Live and also use the internal FX on it, in this case the reverb and delay.

[@Heavycap]

@@MilesKvndra very cool, so you are using the midi in on mother to get the sequence from Ableton? so I would need an audio interface that has midi out? I have audient evo interface and it doesn't have midi in/out, so I think I would have to get a different audio interface?

[@MilesKvndra]

@@Heavycap yes exactly, I have an audio interface that has midi out (I’m using the Arturia Audiofuse Studio). I’m also using a midi splitter so that I can send the same midi messages coming from Ableton to multiple devices, which is very handy!

[@Heavycap]

wow, that looks like a really nice audio interface, so there is 8 total input channels is what i need. with the audio fuse software I can also combine channels to be stereo as well right?

[@MilesKvndra]

@@Heavycap exactly, it’s very easy to do and works great. The interface is more on the price side but I can highly recommend it, it’s really good!

[@tiimm0002]

awesome!

[@MilesKvndra]

Thank you Stokasmud! 🙌🏻💚

[@marcelsigrist4843]

Dankeschön❤

[@MilesKvndra]

Sehr gerne, danke dir Marcel 💚

[@n4Sphere]

hey miles, very nice sounds. can you share more on the reverb delay. which plugins are used and also i would like to hear the raw sound from the mother. i own one my self but it never sounds so cool like yours. so it must be the effects.

[@MilesKvndra]

Hey Daniel, thank you! I’m using just the Ableton stock chorus, reverb and delay plugins as send effects and tried to set them up like my trusted Digitone FX (just with a little less decay on the reverb). My Digitone FX Settings I explained in this video if you’re interested in that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqCWq2asesiDnqc

[@jonaseggen2230]

Thank you!!! and your advise on reverbs and delays probably is true to for most voices/sounds or I don't know, but made me think though. Fks, if you do as you say, but then make a transition or have a break, go ambient for a while or whatever, I guess It would make sense to break those rules... Great video though, perfect pitch, duration and content ratio, and meaningful good and clear information.

[@MilesKvndra]

Cheers Jonas and you have a very good point here. I should have mentioned that I treat my FXs also as dynamic parameters: in both Ableton and on the Digis I’m using send FX which is great to tweak the amount while jamming. And then I use higher send amounts in breaks or transitions which I think is a great tool to set a certain mood. Thanks for the good call, should have mentioned that!

[@jonaseggen2230]

@@MilesKvndra The video is perfect as it is not to complex or specific as in You got to have exactly these modules to do the trick, but also not a bla bla space- time filler, so you can probably make a part two at some point if you want.

[@MilesKvndra]

@@jonaseggen2230 yeah that’s actually a nice idea. Also showing some more things that are Hoi mg on in Ableton. Cheers man, appreciate it

[@JohnLunney]

The buildup and riser into the ad, made me laugh :)

[@MilesKvndra]

Ahhh man just realised haha. KZbin ad placements are sometimes so weird

[@tbadoo]

Hi Miles, do you have that lush arp pattern somewhere to share? I made one similiar but I really like yours

[@MilesKvndra]

Hey, yeah I have a picture of the M-32 settings of that sound, can share it with you if you want :)

[@tbadoo]

@@MilesKvndra I’m talking about the sequence pattern which you make on external device or DAW. M-32 settings I’ve made after watching your video, which to be honest is amazing. You’re great at this

[@MilesKvndra]

@@tbadoo ahh gotcha! Unfortunately I don’t have the Ableton Live project anymore I made this with but I think it was made with the Probability Arp in Ableton Live, through which I played a couple of chords

[@draconianrhythms]

Great video, and a nice reminder of the 32 .. need to use it more ❤ subscribed 🤙

[@MilesKvndra]

Thanks so much! Appreciate that you dig it - and yeah the M-32 is great. It will be one of the key elements in a live set I’m playing tonight!

[@draconianrhythms]

@@MilesKvndra I hope it all goes well .. enjoy it 🤘

[@MilesKvndra]

@@draconianrhythms it went really well and I had a great time! Will share it here on the channel next week 🙌🏻

Thank you! So happy to hear that 💚

[@bassbndt]

Hey, what do you mean "sequenced by the lovely @Ableton Probability Arp"?? I am new to m32. Is it possible to sequence the synth from a DAW, or do you need a midi controller? Thanks! (I use FL by the way).

[@MilesKvndra]

Hey, yes I’m sequencing the synth from a DAW (Ableton). The Probability arp is an Ableton MIDI plug-in which I use for that and it’s great because you get some very unique melodies out of it! Not sure if there is something similar in FL though but pretty sure it has an arp MIDI effect

[@poseid0n703]

Do you also have an idea how to create an arp on the mother 32 itself as well? rn i am working dawless, with a digitakt. But crating an arp is quite hard rn. Thank you very much!

[@MilesKvndra]

Creating arps without an arpeggiator is quite hard indeed. With my DAWless setup I also used the Digitakt to sequence the M-32 as I don’t like the M-32s internal sequencer. And the Digitakt has a great sequencer with many creative options!

[@poseid0n703]

@@MilesKvndra I see. Thanks for answering. When sequencing with the Digitakt, how do you add Glide and Accent and so on to the M-32 then? Sorry for all the questions. I just bought the M.32 but was not sure if i should have gotten the Digitone instead.

[@MilesKvndra]

@@poseid0n703 yes, glide you would add on the M-32 as well as use the Amp envelope to shape the sound. You could also use the M-32s LFO to affect the sound. :)

[@poseid0n703]

@@MilesKvndra Amazing, thanks for answering :)

[@Official_VEA]

could you do this on a sub 37?

[@MilesKvndra]

Yeah you could, I just recreated this patch on my new Sub 25. It works in the same way and the cool thing is that you can add the 2nd osc in to shape the sound in a nice way. :)

[@Official_VEA]

@@MilesKvndra ooh, very cool stuff! I know they are both Moog synths, but do the patches sound significantly different at all on each machine?

[@MilesKvndra]

@@Official_VEA cheers Vea! There are slight differences but I don’t find them very drastically. I think a lot of the sound comes from osc + filter and they are quite similar (at least on M-32 and Sub 25, pretty sure it’s the same for the Sub 37)

[@Official_VEA]

@@MilesKvndra I want to say I talked to someone that told me the filter for the M32 and the S37 are different but don't quote me on that haha. Thanks for checking everything out, I appreciate it!

[@MilesKvndra]

@@Official_VEA ahh interesting! Thought both were the classy Moog ladder filters but might be wrong here. The only difference that I know is that the Sub 25/37 have different filter slopes to choose from while the M-32 has just one. So the person you talked to actually is right 😁

[@guillaumeb3062]

What's this nice sequence ?

[@MilesKvndra]

Hey, Guillaume it’s actually just a short sequence that I came up with for the intro. Didn’t make a song out of it but glad to hear that you like it 💚
