finally a video that's not lazy, most in youtube about afx focus on randomization and yours shows that's a lot of work that richard d james puts in almost every midi trig.

[@eptiar]

Thank you man!

[@lairdhenn4875]

Both afx tutorials have been top tier. Looking forward to more from your channel. You have a good grasp on his drum technique, hate when people rely on randomness to get afx drums because they’re anything but.

[@eptiar]

Thank you so much! That means so much. I think using randomness can be EXTREMELY helpful in some cases but in my opinion, it's picking the parts out of randomness which is genuinely useful. I used to just make everything random, press go, resample for 5 minutes and think "Yeah that's good enough"...

The pitch bend automation should depend on your PB range setting on the specific synth you are using, so its always a relative amount to the PB range. If you set your PB range to one octave, 7000 would bee a fifth indeed. Lovely tutorials, keep them coming, really go to detail :)

[@eptiar]

Thank you! That was really helpful!

[@ofootyeabicc201]

I await your collab with the other funny British man.

[@eptiar]

Hahaha if only!

[@TheFellowPassenger]

Interesting thought regarding the ADSR settings for the drums

[@eptiar]

Thank you! Also just have to say, huge fan of your channel. Thanks for checking this out!

[@chrisjames3272]

The MIDI Ctrl pitch bend does not represent semitones. It's simply a numerical value. It is determined by the synth in Pitch Bend section, where a pitch bend range is shown. So if you have a pitch bend range of 1 and you modulate it in the MIDI clip by half, it will be moving 0.5 semitones. Operator default is usually 5 semitones (a perfect 4th) and most of the other ableton devices are 2 semitones,

[@eptiar]

Ah cool, thanks for letting me know.

[@morgan0]

if you’re looking for ideas, i’d love to see a video like this on phonem, like something in the style of the hydro electric album

[@eptiar]

Wow, just listened to this for the first time. I'll definitely give it a go!

[@morgan0]

@@eptiar i’m curious to see how you go about making the percussion sounds. i made a bunch using downsampling among other processing, i think also using some spectral processing, if that gives any ideas. definitely a resampling sorta technique imo. and i’m happy to send you the samples i made if you’d like.

[@jackp4402]

Dude this is incredible. Subbed. Would love to see you make some aphex-style melodies.

[@eptiar]

Thank you! I'll probably do a video on that soon. Just got to get a hang of it myself haha

[@MattRTGB]

Love your way of explaining lmao. Keep it up! haha

[@eptiar]

Haha thank you man!

[@QuantumCANDRI]

Nicely done!

[@eptiar]

Thank you!

[@airfixx_8952]

Always wondered how AFX gets those 'gargling' effects when it sounds like his acid basslines have folded in on themselves......

[@eptiar]

You know, same! There's a certain bass in Cock/Ver 10 (I think). I've tried recreating it with my 303 clone, I've used Renoise, Ableton and I have to be honest, I can't get anywhere near that sound...I'll keep trying though haha

[@Disregardedinc]

Great shit

[@eptiar]

Thank you so much!

[@AngelPanicProjectYt]

LETS HAVE SOME APHEX ACID!!!

[@eptiar]

Come on you....

[@CarpetSoupMusic]

Excellent Video!

[@eptiar]

Thank you so much!

[@analogueak]

Nice work brother.

[@eptiar]

Thank you! Much appreciated!

[@CarpetSoupMusic]

Would love to see one on track arrangement. 🧱🧱🧱

[@eptiar]

Absolutely. What we're you thinking? For this Aphex Style or in general?

[@CarpetSoupMusic]

@@eptiar aphex style would be great

[@eptiar]

@@CarpetSoupMusic Cool! I'll trry my best and get onto that asap
