modulation

Hey everyone, I'm encountering a very frustrating issue with Kontakt. I'm trying to emulate a subtle vibrato effect on a few Cinebrass Legato horns that don't have any sampled vib. So here's what I do: I check "edit all groups", create two LFOs (for tune and volume), set the frequency and...

Modulation can be a complex process, but it doesn't have to be! In this video I'd like to share with you how I modulated several times in a song, and why it works. Please enjoy!

LUNATIC AUDIO HAVE RECENTLY RELEASED NARCOTIC - A MULTI-EFFECT MODULATION ENGINE! SAVE 33%! The T+S team have had a lot of fun conjuring a kaleidoscopic cornucopia of sounds with Narcotic – it's one of the most mind bending plug-ins we've experienced this year but be warned – it's addictive...

I've been doing more midi programming of music lately and am applying some tricks I've learned. For example, 1. Overlapping midi notes to get the legato effect. (works in Kontakt libraries) 2. Varying velocities to mimic a real player. 3. Humanizing midi timing so it's not robotic. 4. Adding...

Modulation is a big topic. You can really move to any key you'd like - but what are some common options? Let me share with you one of my favourites. Enjoy!

Hey, Maybe I am in the minority here, but I find the more Keyswitches an orchestral patch has, the more it takes me out of the moment - requires more editting. I wish I was able to whizz over the Keyswitches as I play in parts, but at best I can usually learn 2 or 3 and end up doing the...

Sorry if a similar question has been posed recently . I am just studying various types of modulation , and it got me thinking about how songs or pieces of music use them and how powerful it can be. So on that basis , what are your favourite modulations and from what songs / pieces of music ...

Hey everyone! Since a little after NAMM i've been messing around with the Expressive E Touche SE and it is a really awesome and expressive midi controller. For anyone who is interested in seeing how it works with Kontakt I made this video showing how to set it up! - Craig

I'm trying to get my head around the Logical editor. I have used the presets. But now I want to build my own one. I want to convert my CC1 data from a MIDI Event and copy it across to CC11. Anyone know what parameters I need to put in the Logical Editor patch to achieve this? So far I have...

So, I have a couple of effects on the instrument InsertFX tab, and a filter after those. I would like to modulate the cutoff frequency with an LFO, but I can't seem to do that the same way as it would work on a Group InsertFX. I thought that I could set a "dummy filter" with an LFO in the Group...

A discussion of the melody and harmonic chord structure of Across the Stars by John Williams.

Hey all, I'm trying to make my strings from Metropolis Ark I sound "good". Whatever I do, it always sounds like robotic crap. I've made a little example to show you what I mean: I use the "High Strings Legato 8va" patch for the melody and the "Low Strings Sus 8va" for the harmony. This is...

Hi! When recording MIDI Strings and Winds we end up with a performance that have lots of modulation. I often want to quantize this performance, resulting in the MIDI notes being on the grid but the modulation left unaffected (see attached picture). How do you guys go about this procedure? Is...

Hi, I wonder if you could help: I'm getting confused with modulation in Logic (version 10.3.3): with 2 different libraries, it's implemented in 2 different ways, and I can't understand how to change it. I'll explain in detail, in case it helps diagnose the problem, and might help other newbies...

Hi guys I need your help with this one: I have a Nord Piano 88 which doesn't have a modulation wheel nor a pitch bend. I do have other knobs which transmit MIDI signal to Logic, so I was wondering if there's any way to make one of them the default knob for controlling ModWheel in Logic...
