How to create LUSH ARPS (feat Moog Mother-32) | Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лип 2024
- Hi 👋🏻
Let’s make some lush arps together! In this tutorial I’m going through the most important techniques, settings and processes on how to get arp sounds that are lively, evolving and beautiful. I’m using the Mother-32 which is sequenced by the lovely @Ableton Probability Arp (Max for Live) but you can apply the techniques to nearly every hardware- or software synthesizer-arp combo.
Enjoy the video and have a great day,
Miles

The mother 32 is quite sonically impressive
It really is! Sounds very full for just 1 voice
Really cool how you go in depth about that, hope to see more stuff like this :) i will hold my eyes open.. Especially for the Mother
Cheers man that is great to hear! There is more to come on the M-32 for sure
Love your Style ❤
Ehrenstyle ❤️
Great video! Thanks Miles!
Cheers my dude, appreciate your feedback! Hope you are well :)
Great tutorial as always, your songs always have really nice arps 🙌
Cheers my dude, appreciate to hear that! Very happy that you like my arps 🙌🏻
Very simple stuff but very inspiring!
Thank you Bona! Happy to hear that 🙌🏻
awesome!
Thank you Stokasmud! 🙌🏻💚
Dankeschön❤
Sehr gerne, danke dir Marcel 💚
thx man
You’re welcome Olivier. 🙏🏻
Great video, and a nice reminder of the 32 .. need to use it more ❤ subscribed 🤙
Thanks so much! Appreciate that you dig it - and yeah the M-32 is great. It will be one of the key elements in a live set I’m playing tonight!
@@MilesKvndra I hope it all goes well .. enjoy it 🤘
@@draconianrhythms it went really well and I had a great time! Will share it here on the channel next week 🙌🏻
@@MilesKvndra send it 🔥
Suberb demo bud! Moogfive!
Cheers Istvan! Moogfive back 🙏🏻
fire
Thank you! So happy to hear that 💚
The buildup and riser into the ad, made me laugh :)
Ahhh man just realised haha. UA-cam ad placements are sometimes so weird
Thank you!!! and your advise on reverbs and delays probably is true to for most voices/sounds or I don't know, but made me think though. Fks, if you do as you say, but then make a transition or have a break, go ambient for a while or whatever, I guess It would make sense to break those rules... Great video though, perfect pitch, duration and content ratio, and meaningful good and clear information.
Cheers Jonas and you have a very good point here. I should have mentioned that I treat my FXs also as dynamic parameters: in both Ableton and on the Digis I’m using send FX which is great to tweak the amount while jamming. And then I use higher send amounts in breaks or transitions which I think is a great tool to set a certain mood. Thanks for the good call, should have mentioned that!
@@MilesKvndra The video is perfect as it is not to complex or specific as in You got to have exactly these modules to do the trick, but also not a bla bla space- time filler, so you can probably make a part two at some point if you want.
@@jonaseggen2230 yeah that’s actually a nice idea. Also showing some more things that are Hoi mg on in Ableton. Cheers man, appreciate it
hey miles, very nice sounds. can you share more on the reverb delay. which plugins are used and also i would like to hear the raw sound from the mother. i own one my self but it never sounds so cool like yours. so it must be the effects.
Hey Daniel, thank you! I’m using just the Ableton stock chorus, reverb and delay plugins as send effects and tried to set them up like my trusted Digitone FX (just with a little less decay on the reverb). My Digitone FX Settings I explained in this video if you’re interested in that: ua-cam.com/video/Lo3z3vEcPhE/v-deo.html
Very nice video, but could you also explain the patchbay. The why and how... what are the global settings of the mother? Which plug-ins you use? Midi settings? So many questions 😅😅😅😅
Hey Nikolaj, I actually have a video on the patch bay and some other thoughts behind this patch, you can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/8mGT7BX29ow/v-deo.htmlsi=sugAjJAqNGHAob6m
Great video Miles and a big thank you. I am a bit lost here. I have a Mother 32 but there is no arpeggiator.
How did you get it to play arpeggios?
Is it the way you have patched it?
You're welcome! Unfortunately the M-32 itself doesn't have an arp so I sequenced it via Ableton Live and used Live's internal arpeggiator
@@MilesKvndra
Okay. I get it now.
I love my hardware synths like Moog, Lyra etc.
I was a bit snobby ( or stupid) about using DAWS but they would save me a bomb if I was to use their sequencers and Vallhalla effects?
Seems the trend now.
Whats your take on it please?
Thanks for replying.
@@petercane6376 I have experimented a lot with different setups but for me the best so far is a hybrid setup with DAW + external gear. It’s the most flexible for both playing live and making music in the studio and right now I wouldn’t want to go back to DAWless
Hey, what do you mean "sequenced by the lovely @Ableton Probability Arp"?? I am new to m32. Is it possible to sequence the synth from a DAW, or do you need a midi controller? Thanks! (I use FL by the way).
Hey, yes I’m sequencing the synth from a DAW (Ableton). The Probability arp is an Ableton MIDI plug-in which I use for that and it’s great because you get some very unique melodies out of it! Not sure if there is something similar in FL though but pretty sure it has an arp MIDI effect
Do you also have an idea how to create an arp on the mother 32 itself as well? rn i am working dawless, with a digitakt. But crating an arp is quite hard rn. Thank you very much!
Creating arps without an arpeggiator is quite hard indeed. With my DAWless setup I also used the Digitakt to sequence the M-32 as I don’t like the M-32s internal sequencer. And the Digitakt has a great sequencer with many creative options!
@@MilesKvndra I see. Thanks for answering. When sequencing with the Digitakt, how do you add Glide and Accent and so on to the M-32 then? Sorry for all the questions. I just bought the M.32 but was not sure if i should have gotten the Digitone instead.
@@poseid0n703 yes, glide you would add on the M-32 as well as use the Amp envelope to shape the sound. You could also use the M-32s LFO to affect the sound. :)
@@MilesKvndra Amazing, thanks for answering :)
could you do this on a sub 37?
Yeah you could, I just recreated this patch on my new Sub 25. It works in the same way and the cool thing is that you can add the 2nd osc in to shape the sound in a nice way. :)
@@MilesKvndra ooh, very cool stuff! I know they are both Moog synths, but do the patches sound significantly different at all on each machine?
@@Official_VEA cheers Vea! There are slight differences but I don’t find them very drastically. I think a lot of the sound comes from osc + filter and they are quite similar (at least on M-32 and Sub 25, pretty sure it’s the same for the Sub 37)
@@MilesKvndra I want to say I talked to someone that told me the filter for the M32 and the S37 are different but don't quote me on that haha. Thanks for checking everything out, I appreciate it!
@@Official_VEA ahh interesting! Thought both were the classy Moog ladder filters but might be wrong here. The only difference that I know is that the Sub 25/37 have different filter slopes to choose from while the M-32 has just one. So the person you talked to actually is right 😁
What's this nice sequence ?
Hey, Guillaume it’s actually just a short sequence that I came up with for the intro. Didn’t make a song out of it but glad to hear that you like it 💚
