Taking material generation to a more granular level, I will spend this CreativePact building a sampling-centred soundboard in Ableton Live.

Glockenberg

24/08/16

Having delved into my sonic sandbox and done some sampling, and also used some of Live's in-built synths, I realised today that no third-party VST instruments had yet been used in the Pact. That has been assuredly addressed this time round, by breaking out TAL's TAL-U-NO-LX synth.

The result, named 'Glockenberg' by myself, is not much more than the factory glockenspiel patch running from the plugin's inbuilt arpeggiator, with some automation of the filter envelope intensity, amp envelope release and arpeggiator triggering mode thrown in. To allow faster access to these parameters via macros I placed the TAL in an Instrument Rack.

Running alongside yesterday's Rolly bug part it goes into a more freeflow direction, reminiscent of the synth stylings of Jürgen Müller. The problem though is it doesn't meld too well with Hollows pad. It's possible that the two could feature in separate sections of the same track; which one I work with first I'll decide tomorrow (spoiler: probably Glockenberg).
