Any of you Ableton producers use Ill Gate's "128" method? Posted on: 04.04.2011 by Verona Fashbaugh ...So you can use midi knobs to quickly cycle through hundreds of samples while your clip is playing using a midi controller to find the perfect one? I do, and it changed my life... err.... it changed my producing workflow.In other words, you can twist knobs to switch out samples and hear the changes in real time. Basically, you load up a Sampler with 128 samples of a given type (128 kicks, for instance). Then drop the Sampler into slot in a drum rack. Do this for different kinds of samples (hats, snares, etc). And then assign the selector of the Sampler to a midi controller. Also you can do the same thing with an Instrument rack, and cycle through oscillator samples. Here's a guide: http://glitchhopcommunity .com/glitch-hop...out-t6827.html (And yeah, it's on the Glitch Hop community s, and this method was created by a Glitch Hop producer, but you can use it for any genre of music.) | |

| Susann Campas 09.04.2011 | This technique is pretty good, but I'm having one issue with it. Whenever I save a preset, it decides to make a copy of all the files saved in that preset to another location. Is there any way to change it so that it just links to wherever the files are located on the hard drive instead? I'm gonna run out of hard drive space at this rate if I keep doing this. |
05.04.2011 | or you can cycle through all your samples with maschine. |
| Belen Wermes 05.04.2011 | ill gates is the man. |
| Breana Singerman 05.04.2011 | I believe Ill Gate sounds better |
| Random X 05.04.2011 | I always tried to do the same thing. :eek: So for me this would be the 'tekki'- method. |
| Verona Fashbaugh 05.04.2011 | Yeah it's really pretty awesome. So now I have a template set up with all my favorite samples in a drum rack with Samplers, an Instrument Rack using 128 bass oscillators, and a drum rack with 4 Samplers that I filled with some One Hit samples and such. It's so awesome. Ill Gates is a genius. |
| Breana Singerman 04.04.2011 | I like Instant Haus, but I don't have 8.2.2 =' ( |
| Ling Zambada 04.04.2011 | That's a genius method! |
| Nydia Herbers 04.04.2011 | You might like this too if you own Max For Live http://www.ableton.com/pages/max_for_live/instant_haus |
| Riccardo gava 04.04.2011 | good find! |
| Breana Singerman 05.04.2011 | Pretty smart actually, might have to look into this. Good looking out! |
