January 2021 Book update! + the essence of a good trick...
Added 2021-01-31 11:08:29 +0000 UTCHello Dear WaveShapers!
The essence of a good "trick" or "tip" is to help you get more out of your instrument, or bring new inspiration to your music by doing things a little differently.
This months' stars are the pitch bend wheel that could do more, yet another cool use for an LFO as a generative tool and much more.
NOTE! While many of these are a summary of ideas in this months' videos, more don't make it into videos on the channel and are "book exclusives" - so even if you've watched everything, do take a quick look at the updates - you might find a useful gem or two there.
As usual, skip from update to update by searching for the string JAN2021
Here's a full list of what's new/updated this month:
- New section: Managing MIDI and audio latency
- New section: Creative pitch bending
- New section: Using your synth as a dedicated or hybrid MIDI controller
- A couple of ideas for ladder filter gain compensation
- Added a new LFO trick for creating generative melodies using samplers
- Added a few updates to the audio interface buyers guide
- Added a small trick for using the “constant on” parameter in a mod matrix
- Added references to the new preset and music video downloads and Analog Rytm and Sub 37 to the instrument-specific tips video links
If any of these helped you get inspired or make more music, that's a good month in my book (quite literally I guess), and thanks to your support, I'm working on even more for the next one!
All my best,
Ziv (adding plenty of tricks to the book, that don't necessarily appear on the youtube channel "Loopop"...)
