Hope you enjoyed a dive into this underrated synth! If you want more analog-esque sounds, check our our free Analog Sample Pack 👉 www.edmprod.com/analog-sample-pack/

I had to immediately sub because of the background music you chose for this tutorial. ;)

I can never get the free downloads to work; either via Chrome or Firefox on my PC. I wonder if anyone else has this problem? SO frustrating, because I really appreciate these gifts. I've learned a lot from this channel over the past year or so, the clearest and most straightforward content without any annoying gimmicks or `presenter speak'.

Cheers Luca, that is such a big help, I will definitely utilise this a lot more now I have a clearer understanding of it. Cheers buddy :)

Thanks man...really appreciate your style and knowledge. New to Live but learning to "think like a German engineer" to get the best out of these tools. Cheers!

What I don't like with analog is unison and detune. When enabled the sound changes unpredictably each time Analog is triggered by a midi note. If you add an oscilloscope to the chain you will see the waveform phase and amplitude changes each time a new note is triggered. This occurs even when unison detune is set to 0.... Ableton's response is "Analog is designed to emulate the characteristics of vintage analog synthesizers, including the behavior of free-running oscillators. While we understand that consistent behavior is important for creating music, these variations are inherent to the analog modeling in Analog and are not indicative of a bug or issue with the software. In fact, this has been remarked by our users since Live 8.

I’ve never cared much for analog to be honest- if I want to use an ableton stock synth I always go right for operator or wavetable. But thanks to this video I think im going to give it another try!

man i really need help with this stuff. I get discouraged too easy.

@Serge_Era Жыл бұрын

but I noticed a terrible feature - if you move the detune knob at least once in it, the sound will not return to its previous values, even if detune is returned to 0

it's a nice sounding synth but the modulation routing is super rigid (don't really like that lfo 1 and 2 can't be routed differently ). of course you can add external LFO with the live LFO.

It has a design problem. Instead of a matrix like the Wave synth, you can not see what is modulated and what is not. You have to go to each panel to and it starts to make mess in your head.

@bathanhnguyen202 Жыл бұрын

because u can see that thing in a real analog synth. Thats why it's called "analog"

@AlexandreSoma Жыл бұрын

@@bathanhnguyen202 Ok. So that's why is annoying. Doing the same thing digital as in real life is a design issue. Design is to make projects with the tecnology available. In digital world, a matrix is available, the digital tech can offer new possibilities. Not using is a design problem.

@valdir7426 Жыл бұрын

there are not many modulation options. LFO1 goes to osc/filter 1, lfo2 to osc/filter 2; pitch/pwm/cutoff maybe pan and that's all. enveloppes are fixed. that's really my problem with this synth. otherwise it's nice for simple patches

It's not a problem (that would be a negative interpretation) as much as particular kind of workflow. That would be a neutral statement.

Problem for me in Ableton is that all the plugins , synths ,efx and so , they all look the boring same Ableton gray ,stuck in the bottom of the screen .very unappealing and uninspiring , but totally dull and annoying looks , no fun
