Traces 1 - dig deep into effects; not your pocket!
The first edition of Traces focuses on arps, with 50 Arpeggiator Racks, ranging from simple beat sequences to complex melodies that can be altered in real-time. Combining the Racks with each other delivers even more sequences with literally thousands of combinations to try out. From instant glitch to subtle backgrounds. And how about using several Arpeggiator Racks at once?
The Covert Operators bring you their most abstract pack ever! The "Release" pack for the Tension synth in Live 7 is more than just strings and guitar sounds
- This Live Pack has some of the craziest sounds we've ever extracted from an Ableton Instrument.
In most of our recent packs, you'll find racks that look like a maze. Racks with a lot of devices, sometimes for a single purpose. These purposes can be summarized in a collection of tricks and techniques.
We're not trying to keep these tips and techniques a secret. But it isn't easy to explain them all. Because there are so many techniques and for each technique there are even more tricks.
For this reason, we have decided to try out some new ways of sharing this knowledge. In this topic about Live's Arpeggiator and the many techniques we have used in the past to create more interesting rack, we will share a few short videos that explain some of the tricks we utilize.
The videos can be described as Intermediate to Advanced tutorial videos for Live users. Its assumed that you have read the manual and want to learn things that cant be found in the manual or anywhere else on the internet for that matter.
The first video of this topic is about muting certain notes in an arpeggiator sequence. This allows you to create more dynamic Arpeggiator patterns.
The fourth video explains how you can use a MIDI Clip as an Arpeggiator.
By holding 2 notes, you can assign a range of keys to almost any parameter in Live.
In the video, I'm assigning a range from C-2 to G8.
If you just hold C-2 and G8, then the Root Note will be C-2.
If you start by holding C1 and press C-2 + G8 before you end the C1, then your Root Note will be C1.
wicked - yes the videos were very easy to understand. thanks!!! can't wait to try this out with some homegrown sounds.

Maybe I have missed the point of Vid 4 tutorial, but is it not a lot easier to use Scale and the Transpose option? I love your stuff guys and urge people to buy there plugs for Operator, they rock!
While there are many ways to transpose a clip, there are not many ways to easily create a specific rhythm for an Arpeggio effect.
By using Clips as an Arpeggiator, its very easy to play notes at any quantization and even combine them with notes that are not quantized.
Any rhythmical pattern is possible like this.
I meant the arp with the pattern, then a Scale/Transponse at the end of it. If I am honest I don't understand what the vid is achieving (probably me being think) that a normal arp pattern and a Scale/Transpose insert wouldn't.
I guess my question is am I missing something or is it doing the same thing?
