Expanding Ableton Operator
Channel: Seed To Stage
Date: 2019-09-04

In this video we break Operator out and explore crazy vast sonic potential of synthesis using Ableton effect chains and racks! We are using Operator as it was meant to be used, as a building block in a larger context, where Ableton live is now a modular synthesizer. We cover effect chains, instrument racks, simpler layering, corpus, multiband compression, and more! Enjoy!
