Groove3 Building Instruments with Ableton Live Samplers

Join Ableton guru Stephen O'Connell for an engaging course that teaches you how to construct your own instruments using Ableton Live. Understanding the intricacies of Ableton Live's three samplers will equip you with the skills to craft unique custom sounds for your productions, enabling your music to stand out from the crowd. From different sampling playback modes to filters, modulation, and more, it's all covered! These videos are designed for Ableton Live users who are interested in sampling.

Stephen begins with an overview of the three samplers we'll be talking about in this course (Simpler, Drum Rack, and Sampler) and discusses the goal of the series. Then it's off to the races, and he starts covering Simpler, beginning with the interface and showing how to load your first sample. You'll then learn about the different playback modes, the ASDR envelope, loop position, and more.

Next, you'll explore the filter and pitch controls, which provide another huge opportunity to greatly shape the sound - along with the LFO, with which you can add movement and modulation to the sound. Stephen then guides you through the use of additional sampling modes such as One Shot and Slice, how to apply final effects to a sound, and how to store sounds as presets for instant recall. There's plenty more to come, including Drum Rack (interface layout, adding samples, stacking samples, adding effects, using macro controls, etc.), Sampler (interface layout, loading samples and mapping key and velocity, adjusting the filter/amp envelope/oscillators/pitch/stereo spread, adding modulation, saving instruments, etc.), and more!

If you're looking for ways to put your own indelible sonic stamp on your tracks, creating your own instruments is a fantastic way to do it. This Ableton Live course is a fun, easy way to learn all you need to know about building instruments from scratch with Ableton Live.
