for the midi routing part, you could easily make an instrument rack with the operator, add a parallel "External Instrument" Device and route the midi to SerumFX, no additional messy midi track needed.
Bro I been binging your videos for a just week and it has already drastically upped my game (sometimes I have to rewatch bcuz I was laughing too hard). Thanks so much for the plain English, super informative and hilarious tutorials. Much respect. Wowzers.
This is possibly the best, funniest and most well thought-out Operator tutorial in existence. I am passing this on to all my students. You sir, get a like and a new sub.
Put Operator in an Instrument Rack. Create a new empty parallel chain inside that rack. Add Ext. Instrument device, the choose MIDI out as the channel that has SerumFX. It will now pop up in the 2nd drop down menu along with any other plugins on that channel that receive MIDI input. No need for another channel in the session! Continue adding parallel chains when you need additional MIDI triggers from that MIDI source
Look man Im never gonna use operator because I dont have ableton suit but nonetheless this video gave me a better understanding of whats going on in FM and now I can Make even more wubby wubbs in serum, so thanks!
I'm kinda the opposite - I shelled out for Suite and can't afford Serum's exorbitant fees having done so. I wonder if there's an Ableton-only equivalent of the Serum effects setup they use here?

Communicating hard to understand concepts in analogies & metaphors is a talent.. but using only hilarious analogies and metaphors makes you one of a kind. Well done
In a sea of hipster bedroom producers who think they are masters at their craft when most have not got a god damn clue, this dude knows his shit, and his teaching style is both hilarious and outstanding. Well done sir. Gold star for you, and a sub well earned.
Operator has such a specifc tone. Pitch ramps give it away instantly in tracks. Love it for being lite on cpu and drawing your own waveforms. Cool channel Subbed!
Lol from this guy's "simplicity is better" standpoint Sytrus blows Operator out of the water. But seriously, the whole point of wavetable synths is to *not* sound the same as everyone else, like using saw basses...
Maybe this is really basic but I'm wondering how I can trigger LFOtool in the same way he triggers Serum FX here? I tried the same technique with LFOtool but I'm not able to get it to work.
Underbelly, I come to you as a humble student. I use Ableton to record live instruments primarily. I’m in the market for a diverse synth plugin to use for auxiliary keyboards and interesting textures for my music. Should I get serum? What do you recommend to blend live instruments with midi? Thanks!
Thank you Underbelly I love your videos! I have a question too; Is Serum FX separate from regular Serum? Or can I run operator through regular Serum as well? :)
FYI, you can trigger SerumFX easier than that by putting Operator in a rack & running an "Ext. Instrument" device in parallel with it & sending the MIDI from the "Ext. Instrument" device straight to SerumFX so everything's on the same channel (just a bit neater - I prefer to do it that way so you don't have blank channels all over the place in the end). If you're confused, here's a rack: www.dropbox.com/s/bf1vpguigfkt63k/Richard%20Generator.adg?dl=0 And a screenshot: www.dropbox.com/s/iy0xhgy5s3s0u30/RichardFX.PNG?dl=0 Enjoy! Great tute.
Waoh man!!!... I had spend so many hours watching FM tutorials, and this is the firts one that really get me into... Excellent... Thanxs for the good vibes!!! Cheers
Richard's dick was lit ! NO doubt i watch your all videos. No one can do amazing explanation like you do ! you are the best and we all actually learn stuff from ! Make lots of tutorial for bingneer level to master also make tracks ,
Yes underbelly, for triggering the Serum Fx, You use a technic less agressive than '' social média triggering '', on the bottom left of Serum Fx there's a button called '' LATCH, when It's engaged you can use the LFO's. Before knowing it, i was duplicating the midi info and send this clip from another midi track. I never use the '' envelop''section in Serum Fx, But i think this is where your "social media" technic can be usefull to also trigger Fx by serum' s envelop.... Operaptor rocks !
I have a four year degree in audio production. And this was oddly the best way I've ever heard/seen FM explained.
YOU DRAW THOSE DICKS
I’m starting my major in audio production very soon. Anything you’d like to share about it?
Please don't share dicks
@@b26awesome Don't do it
@@ericharp2294 dew it
This video should be used in schools to teach kids about sound design.
and dicks
Dave Lawlis 🤔 hmm
debating whether or not i should have my synthesis professor show this in class
And should be promoted for the entirety of Autism Awareness month.
Maybe cut the dick references to be less alienating
A beautiful, family-friendly tutorial again, love you ;)

Mixing the humor in with legitimate knowledge makes for an engaging tutorial. Do a sound design series with the Wavetable and other live synths.
for the midi routing part, you could easily make an instrument rack with the operator, add a parallel "External Instrument" Device and route the midi to SerumFX, no additional messy midi track needed.
marry me
I love your videos dude!
You're a very impressive educator. I really think you've found your calling in life.
This is possibly one of the most enjoyable tutorials i've ever watched. Really hoping all the other videos are like this.
I bet you've seen more but they all are truly funny
lol, "The Fundamental Phallus and The Secondary Dicks." great band name. (dibs?)
HARD CORE, sound design!!!!!
Holy shit. This was funnier than most of the standup I see on Netflix.
I have never heard sound design described in "harder" terms... ;)
You, sir, have earned a new subscriber.
Welcome to the club.. Watch his older stuff.. SOOOO FUNNY
Bro I been binging your videos for a just week and it has already drastically upped my game (sometimes I have to rewatch bcuz I was laughing too hard). Thanks so much for the plain English, super informative and hilarious tutorials. Much respect. Wowzers.
This is the single greatest tutorial I've ever seen
WOWZERS, the phallus meta has modulated once again
Subscribed for the phallio-centric synthesis.
This is inadvertently the best tutorial on FM that I've ever seen.
Very great concept man! Please do pad/ambient sound design with the Operator or anything else!
afxxxx
I second this
Yes!
Oh yeah pads !!!!!
nice aphex twin
This is possibly the best, funniest and most well thought-out Operator tutorial in existence. I am passing this on to all my students. You sir, get a like and a new sub.
shit... i even rang that damn bell.
man, every time I watch your videos, I literally understand how I suck at producing.
You're great
Finally! A video that actually explains how to synthasize sounds as opposed to just showing what knobs to tweak to generate a certain patch. Nice one!
Logic Live is better than FL Tools
Whaaaaaaaatttttt
@@deepakattri9094 didn't you know that? 😳
what the hell ??
i've used every daw ever created and i can confidently say Garagewalk is the best
Check out Cubase‘s Retrologue
Imma watching every single videos this guy’s doing. Right now.
dude, your videos always put me in a good mood. And then on top of that, your teaching skills are top class. Woot that's a solid 2 in 1. Much love
"Run it through social media!" Brilliant! That line is gonna get a lot of traction! Great name for a distortion pedal!
First time watcher and you just became my favorite tutor you've got a way with words dude keep it up xD
To be honest I was so bothered by your act and catchphrases at first... Now you have grown on me. You are in my head and I think I am a fan.
Oh man i forgot this channel for a while. Wowsers. Still fun, original content.
THE BEST UA-cam CHANNEL
My brother isn't a producer or even a musician and he is over here dying of laughter. Thanks for this!
Perhaps one of the most helpful videos I've come across.
The way you teach is just... so amazing even a logic pleb can learn.
Even a fl user.

I assume it would apply to sytrus aswell if you use FL.

Never in my life subscribed faster.
SOCIAL MEDIA.
The wumpus standing on the Operator comet made me shart with great severity
Operator has such a specifc tone.
Pitch ramps give it away instantly in tracks.
Love it for being lite on cpu and drawing your own waveforms.
Cool channel
Subbed!
this has been one of the most educational video ive ever watched, its equally as funny
Next Video: Ableton's Analog is better than FM8 (For Subtractive Synthesis)
Lol from this guy's "simplicity is better" standpoint Sytrus blows Operator out of the water. But seriously, the whole point of wavetable synths is to *not* sound the same as everyone else, like using saw basses...
my thoughts exactly
Yeah he'll probably use FM8 FX to demonstrate too.
Dude, who needs fm synthesis when you pull out winky dinks…
@@soul_yt7842 however, most wavetables sound weak or muddy
the humor kept me engaged and wanting to watch it again to absorb everything I missed the first time around. "Wowsers"!!!!!! lol 🙂
Another great tutorial, I love FM synthesizers. Though my go to vst is fm8 but I may try operator.
I suck at sound design!!! I really needed this educational entertainment!!! Thanks! I never knew how to use operator well.
*W O W Z E R S*
This is the fucking greatest Ableton tutorial I've ever seen.
Never been able to watch a full tutorial with regular speed without skipping until today ! haha!

Nearly fell out of my chair laughing lmao

You earned a subscription sir. So good on multiple levels.
Peter Serrano same
I wanna buy this guy a beer. 😅 best channel I’ve found
Maaaan, we need more sound
design tutorials. The best teacher.
Dude, the climax had me actually laughing out loud. Or, lol for short! Excellent toot too man, thank you.
And this is how you Sir just earned a new subscriber. Keep on going, amazing job!
Wowzers! Richard's got a wompus on it's tippy- top! Is this a Rick and Morty episode?)))
this is content.
i'm being entertained and educated at the same time.
i'd watch whatever you make
Very effective teaching lmao. But really, I learned a lot. Thank you brotha!
Best teacher! Don’t stop posting tutorials. It’s entertaining & educational.
I'm dying this is perfection
I’m glad that my first ever video from you is about Richard 😃
The Best FM tutorial I have seen, gr8 humour :D:D:D
Its Harmor.....like harmonization
this is the best educational video I have seen in my life
I love these videos, great and funny tutorials :D
Love the soothing commercial in the beginning
I think Image-Line's sytrus is Better than Ableton's Operator (for FM)
inb4 dexed7
+Reaction :angry:
Sytrus murders operator in fm and as a bonus in rm, as an a priori ableton user.
Fax
Sytrus has really great FM, RM matrix, true that
I'm not only gonna start using operator more, but you've shown me how to trigger SerumFX envelopes and Lfo's. Have my upvote, sir.
Maybe this is really basic but I'm wondering how I can trigger LFOtool in the same way he triggers Serum FX here? I tried the same technique with LFOtool but I'm not able to get it to work.
The best tut I've ever seen ever.... ever
I'm too busy laughing to watch the tutorial. Too funny.
Me too man, I'm in bits laughing here - "You're still the biggest dick in my heart Richard!" Lol!

You can try Serum in a rent-to-own thing from Splice.com

Awesome video and u got a funny phallus. Those same things can be done within Serum tho 😊
the safe space/trigger talk earned my subscription.
From this day forth, FM shalt be known as Richard Synthesis
One of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen
This video made me bought abelton the next day.
How much was it?
Am I getting to excited or this is the best sound desing tutorial ever??????
The next time I mix for my church, I'm going to have to pause for a long time before I say the word "harmonics"
This is the best thing I've ever seen.

_Let's take another waveform and run it through Richard_
thanks for the reminders & put downs about production... keeps us humble.
When will man kind realise that toxic biohazard is the ultimate synth.
Dude! I've learnt more in this video than I have ever in music production! Thanks! Then you killed it at the end! Loved it!
This tutorial is awesome I learnt a lot of useful things while laughing my ass off
The intro was enough for me to subscribe 👍 well played, sir.

Yo he called the EQ phallus Richard.
