- And just as I am uploading this I realize this could also work really well with sending MIDI to Serum-FX set to peak/bandpass mode like Au5 showed in one of his most recent videos. I might have overcomplicated things here haha but I like the way it sounds :)

Download the folder from the "VR Ableton Racks 2024" post, should contain all the project files shown here.
This feels like the DAW equivalent of building a computer inside Minecraft
💀💀
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...
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 🌈
As a listener of colour bass, I also approve.
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.
you can do in serum FX you just need to send midi to it that it ngl no cap
It's a vocoder
I feel 12 years old watching a minecraft redstone contraption tutorial again when i see those racks and techniques. Really inspiring
That is the actual coolest homecooked effects chain i have ever seen wtf
god the only guy who is so insane that he is competing with AU5 at who can come up with the most complicated ways to make sounds lol. Thank you VR you are always an inspiration!
14:55 is the best atempt at comedy coming from germany I've heard in a while. Jokes aside, this is awesome and I'm certainly going to experiment with this stuff myself!
LMAO
I saw this comment before I heard it, and I was nervous lmao
hahahhaahha
Some Psy with this techniques might be gold stuff
Oooof😂
hahahahaha
oh my god this is insanely cool >:0
thank you so much for making this video !!
can't wait for some azali color bass
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
Au5's brain carrying the biggest of biggest dogs, love it or hate it
he's alien..
i can’t believe they haven’t collabed yet
Yoy..We need a collab with au5.
too epic.....@@nates180
@@nates180 Does AU5's remix of "We're Not Alone" count?
2 uploads within one month??? we are blessed
Webcam angle is nice, feels more personal and the daw is whats important anyways
15:00 omg I was so not ready for the "final solution" XD
💀
Nor were those goblins
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
All this should be made into a cpu efficient vst or max for live patch.
Shoutout virtual riot
U gain more and more respect
You might like vocoders
Hardware designers would do themselves a favor to put VR in R&D. Amazing concept and even more brilliant execution here.
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
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
Big week for badass bass tutorials
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!
Strongly agree! As long as he's comfortable doing that and he's not overdoing his workload! 💜
@@Vaultric For sure!
15:01 LMAOOOO
Now, I think I can see all the modules added to a track are like legos. Kinda fun.
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 👏
A W for Color Bass innovation!
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
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
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.
dude you should definitely collab to make a plugin
Virtual Riot helps me a ton. NGL, he's my new favorite producer.
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
@@Hollandvancewrightwill check it out thanks for the tip
Virtual riot has been my favorite producer since the og studio times. Mans is the goat of em.
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.
Since idols
I think we all need more of that polyrithm stuff
15:00 LOL ... Talent man, thanks for the knowledge
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!
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
Thanks alot Christian for those Videos! Really inspiring!
Colored yoy is a fantastic description, love it.
Loving the enthusiasm
Bro is the Jacob collier of sound design
i can't get enough of these overly complicated resonator videos :D more! more!!
15:00 final solution is wild🤣
this is really jazzy and 70s vibe for some reason
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
This man is not human. Can't convince me otherwise.
you are doing god’s work rn sir, ty for everything you’ve done and continue to do ❤
Incredible stuff, thanks~
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.
i just can't wait for another banger album like simulation with all this awesome techniques
Thanks homie! You're a boss!
dude you are from another world, how these concepts came to your mind? absolute genius
This is absolutely amazing creativity. Gg
I love messing around with sound design, its so fun.
Virtual Riot upload????? Hell yeah
Thanks for the tutorials
thanks for sharing your findings :)
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 man is genuinely insane
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.
its not fair how genius you are, your tinkering is magnificent, when i tinker i end up with hot doodoo
the EDM scene is turning ableton into a sandbox
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.
Holy hell, this is impressive!
thank you Virtual Riot for continuing to keep it real and just uploading weird ideas you have
man i'm so happy this dude is figuring out how to make these sounds so we can hear them
Thank you!!
this is mind blowing omg
This guy is really talented. He should really start making music.
You are a mad scientist VR.
final solution bit actually killed me hahaha
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)
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?
24:54 the little yay was so good cracked up
Absolute legend, the ideas you come up with are insane ❤
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
Engineering for color bass creativity at its finest!
Ps. converge & diverge has been the key to my heart this past year ;)
They should use that dynamic EQ resonator as a benchmark at Ableton
Thank you man, I assume this is going to be about tonal notching, I know the technique but can never get it right personally. Can't wait to see and find out
this comes in very handy for video game score production f. e. when you want something that emphasizes a certain mood. Might work well on 32 or 8 bit music.
FIRE!
YES please.
VR + Au5 already! 🙏🏽💙
Bro went CRAAAZYYY. This would be sooo fun to mess with!
Imagine a whole album with those ideas, I hope this happens.🤩
damn this shit is so cool i hope one day ill be able to do this with ease and get every sound i want out of it
If you wanted to, you could create convolver IRs out of this and give them out for people who cant load the racks.
😮
I think you just built a kind of vocoder? I’m not talking trash, it’s interesting to see you arrive there from concept.
this is dope looking forward to remake this in puredata or whatever to make it less cpu hungry
14:28 I was writing the comment "put that layer through Redux!!!", then you read my mind.
this makes me think that we need a proper ableton scripting language, similar to blender. so you dont have to die while building it
7:00 nice
5:24 that gives me vibes of the game LSD Dream Emulator again
absolutely crazy
u the best dawg
Every once in a while I'm reminded you are very German. Awesome idea and execution.
*Edit commented before I heard 15:00 lol. Perhaps the Japanese phrasing "final form" would work..
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
Webcame is totally fine
This could be a insane plugin
super neat thank u
Can only imagine what an Au5 + VR collab project file would like
Go to the Serum filter shapes, go to misc, select formant-1, formant-2, or formant-3.
Dawg, i love you
