excuse me but what the fuck? this tutorial? I started watching it for no reason - and then I was like. Wow.? Wow? WOW!? This is so cool it inspired me to work on my music while I was procrastinating. I honestly have no words for you, this is just immensely well done. You deserve a high five and a cold beer

This channel is truly the height of KZbin content. Gorgeously clean graphics, clear explanations and, of course, cool sounds. Thank you for making these videos and just releasing them for free!

And this is EXACTLY why ELPHNT is my favourite channel. Thanks as always for such wonderful content!

[@aleksywnek95]

Whatever the topic is, it's interesting, creative, and the best of the best. Thank you ELPHNT for having me on your musical journey. I love growing with you!

[@wmextra]

Me too

[@madimakes]

i've started using these plugins for EVERY track i've done, and i've just gotten started...so much to explore! thank you again for this tutorial.

[@saren6538]

how do you get them ? as they are not in his store

[@Dan-ms4oq]

The "Some Examples" segment are great addition to your video your video format!

[@frankenmizer828]

..and here I've been grappling with modular synthesis..chain some of these tools together inside Ableton and instant Mutable Instruments..thank you :)

[@MKS21471]

Dillon’s plug-ins are simultaneously geeky, bonkers and completely original. I’m sold. Great video, Tom. Thanks so much for explaining these. I particularly like the examples of each you give as well.

[@christdolphin69]

dillon bastion is finally moving us nearer to the real future of music and sound design. elektron should hire him immediately. i've been using iota for like 4 years

[@nomad1517]

Now, see, that's what I call a we'll made tutorial. You show both what we are going to achieve, why it's important, and how we go about doing it. Most tutorials I've seen always show the what they are going to achieve, and how, but never the why,band in a very simple step by step manner. Excellent job 🤟

Finding this sub is like finding Jeremy Ethier's workout videos -- before he was very popular, the viewers felt spoiled cause we got to witness no bullshit cold hard videos, and now I feel spoiled finding this small count channel. Love it!!

[@ELPHNT]

Haha, I have no idea who that is, but also I hope my videos would be the same quality no matter how many subs I have!! 😂

[@BrennanSedivy]

I’m amazed at how clean the editing is in this video. How your cursor isn’t clipped by the mask around the plugin... totally beyond me.

[@ELPHNT]

Haha, thanks. Screenflow makes it pretty easy 😉

[@algirdastiuninas2793]

Great to see ELPHNT's videos getting some of the recognition they so greatly deserve. Hats off to you sir, your explanations are crisp and clear, and you outline a bunch of interesting directions for sound design in every presentation you make

[@josipvulic5471]

the generative drum fills is brilliant

[@FlowProdOfficial]

Your ability to describe complex stuff so simply and clearly is second to none. Thank you.

[@XanderOwls]

every tutorial should be like this. so happy i found this channel

[@energy_waves]

While I was thinking about it, someone was already working on it. I'm so happy.

[@AdamsOlympia]

Emit is like Borderlands Granular on iPad! I wonder if they were inspired by that brilliant classic app? Part of what made Borderlands so special was the ability to load numerous samples in a big X-Y collage and have multiple emitters , sometimes overlapping different samples -- and creating a unique interplay between different sounds that worked well together. I suppose you could get close to the same effect if you added a few different sounds to the same wav file, maybe fading some together.. then toss it in Ableton Emit.

[@ELPHNT]

That's a cool comparison! I hadn't thought of that. Borderlands was always my favourite app back when I had an iPad. Emit and Vector Grain both give me very similar vibes 👌

[@patrickj1066]

Alright, these devices are just insane. Even one would be revolutionary.

[@yinsound]

This content is the perfect combination of clear and in depth information. Thanks!

[@EldarBaruch]

The best video's on Ableton, Max4Live and plugins come from this channel. I've learned so much here. Thank you ELPHNT!

[@davidkempmail]

My head just exploded...so many random paths to walk and enjoy sounds...thanks Ableton team for your work ...and you for a wonderfully lucid explanation.

[@NavNoteAudio]

Awesome long videos get saved to watch later. Welcome back btw!

[@DenesDobai]

Brill.Thanx. I love these devices. Basically upgraded to 11 because of these. It’s almost like having GRM Tools inside live… Love ‘em

[@XanderPerezayylmao]

MINDBLOWING!!! grabbing ableton ASAP just to use these!!!

[@mystkmusic]

Woah!! These devices nail the concept I've been exploring musically for a while 😍

[@TheGerfalkon]

My day is inspired by nature and by Inspired by Nature now. Thanks, this pack is what I've been building my eurorack for

[@FluidBlow]

Cleanest video ever. Relaxing AND informative. Awesome work, thanks !

[@nomad1517]

This program always made me feel like a mad scientist when using it. That's why I always loved Ableton.

[@DavidLilja]

Just wanted to say that I really loved the pace you used to go over the controls and explain the plugins. And your voice is nice to listen to. Keep up the great work! And thanks for sharing.

[@GenteelCretin]

These are so phenomenal. Dillon Bastan has always been great, but these look to be leagues ahead of his previous M4L devices. I liked his old stuff in theory more than in practice. I'm amazed at how tight these are and just how many he made. I will admit I was nervous at first about some of the granular effects. I like granular synths, but granular synthesis that is focused on non-midi based loops can be a little tedious to work with, and there are so many approaches to that already. I'm glad that Emit seems to embrace both sides of granular synthesis as an atmospheric and melodic toolset.

[@pouidg]

These tools are mindblowing... I'm very curious to hear how other artists are going to use those. Thanks for the video Tom !

[@dillonbastan246]

I'm also very curious!

[@alempmartins]

Ive used bouncy notes for Live FX ambience in theatre on 3 instantes of soundiron frendo for creating a tension over time. Ive got that in a group so Ive could manager the volume easier.

[@leroycarr9]

Excellent tutorial. And no exaggeration, these devices show a lot of promise for sound design. Thank you.

[@alexmcinnes8182]

If simplicity is the ultimate sophistication you Sir are the most sophisticated gentleman The KZbin Machine has ever showed me. Explaining such dense material in such an elegant fashion is no easy feat. I honestly never comment on videos, I hide in the shadows but credit where credit is due. YOU ARE A GENIUS

[@vexecutioner5907]

This has got me deep in an asmr trance. Gonna make some coffee and watch it again in the morning while downloading A11.

[@nazarenodadamante8703]

Is there a way to capture the midi output? I would be interested to visualize in a grid the rhythms generated by the bouncy notes device. Thanks!

[@Poldoore]

Create a new MIDI track -> under 'MIDI From' select the track with the bouncy notes. Set monitor on the new MIDI track to "In" and start recording.

I can't remember which sounds I used for the examples - probably just some samples I had lying around. You can use any sound you like with them, so its all about experimenting.

This is awesome. any chance of providing the examples, it will be helpful to learn. thanks!

[@ELPHNT]

Most of the samples I used I couldn't share because of their license, so you'd have to use your own samples. Other than that, just copy the settings from what you see in the video and you should be good to go.

What does the interval control represent by n and b? 1ball, 1beat, 1note? etc. Is there documentation for this?

n for Notes, b for Bars I believe. They are a little confusing at first, I must admit... 😕 But you get used to them pretty quickly.

[@patriciaoudart1508]

Very interesting! I've no time now my music studio is on move, but what I like is to use Nature sounds mapping and not playing algorithms but organized hazard like Nature do. I had a plugging years ago to do that, but mostly I want to use my recordings in Nature to sample long pieces of music with arythmic, or arythmic repetitive sounds, sometime as ponctuation. I will go on your web site..

[@chandeleerjet5637]

Some of your videos got me to purchase Ableton. Thank you! I purchased suite so I have max for live but can’t find these plugins. Do I have to download separately from the Ableton suite purchase? Sorry I’m new to this daw.

Yes, you'll need to take a look under the Packs section and download and install this (for free) separately.
