Thought I would share this clip and an incredibly nerdy discription. It's one sawtooth oscillator going through a wasp filter and then split into two seperate VCA's. VCA stands for Voltage Controlled Amplifier and it simply allows you to control a sounds volume from other parts of a synthesizer. 

I have a MIDI track in ableton that is triggering a step sequencer. In addition, I'm using two envelopes drawn from my midi clip that are being converted to voltage via a midi to cv converter. 

So, I have two envelopes:


One is controlling the volume of a dry sawtooth. The step sequencer is also messing with the filter frequency. This is in the left speaker.

two is controlling the volume of the same sawtooth but it's shooting through Paia's hot springs reverb. This is in the right speaker.

The combination is a stunning shimmering sequence all precisly controlled from Ableton.

Testing the Korg Volca running through a BYOC spring reverb pedal. Both the Volca and Spring Reverb really work together to create a wonderful warm sound.

Following the last upload of the Korg Volca Test, this little piece is the starting loop to an upcoming track. The Volca test is used as the rhythm backdrop.

Impliment

Magenta is a powerful fusion of Blip Drums' world class electronic drum library and Ableton instruments and effects. Within Magenta is over 1000 original electronic drum samples contained within 16 drum pads. All samples are instantly available via uniqe "sample selector" knobs. This allows freedom to explore drum sounds during play back without the hassle of loading external samples. In addition, automation of the sample selector knobs allow musicians to explore a whole new world of rhythm programming. Furthermore Each of the 16 drum pads has it's own set of 8 sound shaping performance knobs giving the musician instant access to over 128 performance knobs. This moves Magenta away from simply being a drum play back sampler to a powerfully effective drum synthesizer.
