So sick. Effectively recreating colour plugins from scratch and generating a ton more versatility due to having fine control of all the working parts. APPROVED 🌈
FL Studio also has some cool patcher presets made by people like Youlean, they weren't all installed by default on mine, but I remember I got them very easily and quickly. Also not very friendly to your CPU btw., iirc the note EQ is even worse than the resonator. In case people don't know, you can also ''snap'' FL's parametric EQ to freqs that line up without standard tuning in the menus, not so doable for microtonal etc. though... Can't even type in hz values, just the percentage.
Yo! More of these man! Quick and easy for you to upload and suuuuuper helpful for us! Definetly keep these low-key uploads as a regular thing along with the more fleshed out studio time episodes!
Your understanding of the frequency range and ableton ingenuity combined are impressive sir. I've listened to dubstep frequently for a decade and always thought your songs had a touch of musical genius compared to others. I bought Ableton and started watching production videos a month ago and now I understand why. Have already learned a ton, thanks Virtual Riot :) btw your Pleasure Seeker Remix was my Spotify #1 song of 2023, absolute monkey slapper of a tune
KOAN Sound are my favorite producers, I will shamelessly admit that their Patreon tutorials are 100% worth the money. Check out some of their music, and if you like what you hear try a month
Been sleeping for too long if he's a new favorite. (lol) this man is literally a genius, and watching him work is like watching a god create a world. Imo he could be doing a lot more than just EDM, he's like the Mozart of our time.
This is so crazy because you kinda did exactly what someone programming a complex FX plug-in would do, except you did it with a bunch of ableton racks. Super cool 👏
Watching VR play around in Ableton are some of my favorite videos. Pure passion, pure creativity, pure joy. I can't help but smile when I watch these videos. Also seeing Val being inspired by some of these popular plugins and trying to re-create them in Ableton and at the same time elevate them is such a huge gift to all of us. Thanks for sharing your brain with us!
You can get polyphonic keytracked filtering with Surge XT by using “Audio Input” oscillator type (and then routing the sound to the synth in your DAW), switching on a filter (like a 24dB band-pass probably), setting its keytracking to +100% and you’re done with basic setup. Because there is a second oscillator waiting (and a second filter in each one, and some other cool things), this can make easier creative spectral processing of the sound. And it won’t need to load for extra long time! 😀 Well and also the filters parameters can be modulated by internal LFOs and other stuff on top of that! And vocoder is also in stock. Finally (probably not) you can use custom tunings (vs. just 12 equal temperament) to color the effect differently.
With ADHD like me. I look away for 5 seconds, and look back to a Virtual Riot tutorial and he's in a completely different world let alone a next step in the process.
This guy truly innovating some crazy awesome ideas. They're so simple in concept but something that I've (personally) never thought of. And I love the expansion into the Colour Bass scene. Awesome stuff!
Really cool video and technique. This also reminds me of using vocoder on external with a chord stack, it gives it the same kind of sound then you can add whatever effects you want to it.
german engineering at its finest. echoing the comments that i'd love to see this packaged up into its own plugin for those of us who can't use m4l devices
that rest rack is insane. I did something similar with serum fx. it is fx rack as a filter bank. so from like 60-6600 hz it has lowpass filters moved up by key track. 6600-2200 it has hipass move down by key track. each instance runs a second filter in fx for resonant comb offset by random mod so each time it has a different freq for a random resonant filter bank.
the only person who need to "live with the fact that you're not using your fancy camera" is you bro! 😂 at least to me the teaching is way more valuable then seeing clearly the pores of your face or not in these type of video! thank u for it btw, you badass, love u, see u some day 💕
You did exactly what I was thinking for the waveform following! I am in physical pain at the thought of how many connections and parallel audio streams must be going on to do this lmao
The quickest and cleanest way to achieve that "coloured sound" is just by using the special resonator. Simply send a MIDI chord progression from another channel, preferably stacked over multiple octaves and tweak the settings to taste. (Don't forget to turn poly on and voices up)
"Special resonator"... 1) I assume you meant "spectral" 2) AKA a vocoder. Seriously, instead of all the enveloped EQ peak nonsense, go back to the sine wave arpeggios from right at the start of the video, and use that as the modulator signal in a vocoder... And that's exactly what he's reinvented, just really inefficiently.
I’ve been playing around with the racks for a few days now and I can confirm that these are extremely CPU Intense. I got my first Ableton Crash 😂😂 and everytime I try to add or delete FX it takes ages 😅 (although I have extremely powerful hardware)
I've been obsessed with making sounds from sines that fit my tuning/key/scale/chord (mimicing the pattern of interval spacing in the harmonic series but making it something minor is cool for some retro house planed chord basses), but I never even considered making a yoy like that. Doing stuff like this is also a great way to develop your ear's ability to make good use of the harmonic series. I bet you'd make some sick just intonation stuff btw., you can distort the hell out of all sorts of intervals there, harmonic series for low notes.
Your Eq method is sick man!! If a bit too CPU heavy (beyond my steam-driven machine) and an insane rack to build, but worth the effort. Thinking maybe this could be adapted with a vocoder?

Bro, tell me about it.
try Bitwig Studio
That’s actually pretty accurate my computer will usually attempt to burst into flames
i havent even started the video yet and this was my assumption...

Oooof😂
hahahahaha
I feel 12 years old watching a minecraft redstone contraption tutorial again when i see those racks and techniques. Really inspiring

Holy shit you like him toooo
I've been good fan for years now...
And I've been your sub from line 2000 subs lmao like your music too
Cool seeing you here!
Azali colour bass 💀
Azali color bass would go hard
2 uploads within one month??? we are blessed
So this is basically a MIDI input vocoder built from the ground up. I love it.
you can do it in serum fx with the midi thing also ngl no cap
Webcam angle is nice, feels more personal and the daw is whats important anyways
15:00 I laughed and felt bad for laughing all at the same time
Ain't no way bro really just said that 💀
it took me a second but I burst out laughing
Hardware designers would do themselves a favor to put VR in R&D. Amazing concept and even more brilliant execution here.
Big week for badass bass tutorials

My man; this is great but you’ve invented the vocoder 😅🎉
thanks for the vid val, literally perfect for a uni project i'm doing rn
I think we all need more of that polyrithm stuff
this is really jazzy and 70s vibe for some reason
It is just unbelievable how you keep surprising us all with your creativity and knowledge, this was so fucking cool to see it explained in depth
Colored yoy is a fantastic description, love it.
This man is not human. Can't convince me otherwise.
i can't get enough of these overly complicated resonator videos :D more! more!!
All my bitwig friends how much easier is it to make this for us? 😊😊😊
Is it actually? I’ve been wanting to check out Bitwig for a whime

Loving the enthusiasm
This could be a brilliant VST/plug in. Consolidating it, and having organized nearly customizable panels

26 minutes of my new favourite song being made 😍 you come across as such a nice guy as well as being mega talented in what you do!
man i'm so happy this dude is figuring out how to make these sounds so we can hear them
dude you should definitely collab to make a plugin

final solution bit actually killed me hahaha
Webcame is totally fine
If you wanted to, you could create convolver IRs out of this and give them out for people who cant load the racks.

Bro went CRAAAZYYY. This would be sooo fun to mess with!
24:54 the little yay was so good cracked up
Ableton better be paying you for showcasing this shit
This is absolutely amazing creativity. Gg
bro just revealed a magic trick...
I think you just needed a vocoder.
I’ve been using Ableton since 2010 and have been a musician for 26 years and this still stretches my brain lol
this makes me think that we need a proper ableton scripting language, similar to blender. so you dont have to die while building it
as a die-hard FL user, I would love to see someone make something like this in Patcher
Well you're in luck, as an fl user myself I made my own patcher preset of this "note eq" effect :)
I haven't watched the video yet, but I want to thank you for sharing this knowledge
also because you want to be one of the first to leave a comment. nobody cares. show some respect and watch the video before leaving spam
@@117lyrics what a toxic person you are
5:24 that gives me vibes of the game LSD Dream Emulator again
This is how I’ve been doing color bass effects. I just stab the midi of the arpeggio on 32 or 16 rate and layer it with a normal saw
Imagine you just downloaded your first daw, you search for colour bass tutorials and come across this
Holy hell, this is impressive!
its actually mad sciences
Man abelton is the goat daw
this is mind blowing omg
I’ve been playing around with the racks for a few days now and I can confirm that these are extremely CPU Intense. I got my first Ableton Crash 😂😂 and everytime I try to add or delete FX it takes ages 😅 (although I have extremely powerful hardware)
YES please.
VR + Au5 already! 🙏🏽💙
I thought I was good at designing effect racks until I saw this video
They should use that dynamic EQ resonator as a benchmark at Ableton
bro is a genius
Can only imagine what an Au5 + VR collab project file would like
thanks for sharing your findings :)
the low res webcam makes its feel more authentic tbh

you and Au5 need to collab honestly.

I will be waiting. Post a video on how to make it.
It's called a vocoder
