**Covert Operators: lesson: Making patches

Operator B · Post by **Operator B** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 9:21 pm

The following lesson is a simple one. Just creating a pad with one oscillator and a chord device.
But this lesson is intended to test if it work on other computers then mine.
So any feedback is appreciated.

If everything goes well, you can expect more detailed lessons in the future.

Stay tuned

Here's another lesson showing what the osc<vel parameter does on the operator. I know Robert Henke covered that in the NAMM video. So this is for the people who might have missed it.

Hi Covert Operators,

Just wanted to give a big Thank You for all the free stuff you guys are giving us!

Are you working for the Abes or is this only charity work?

Ironically, we paid Ableton to be able to do this.

But in all honesty. It is a fun and educational thing to do.
It also influences my work in a great way.
Once you know how to find the sound you want with the operator. You often will find yourself writing a song from scratch. Without even using presets.
I cannot speak for the other operators. But the operator is first synth that made sense to program. And i am speaking as a person who hasn't programmed that many synths.

We take requests!!!!

Seriously though. It's hard to know what people know and don't know about Live.
It would make it a lot easier if people would tell what they want to know about Live or the operator. We're not claiming to have all the answers.
But it couldn't hurt to ask.

The lessons we are currently working on will be included with Covert Operators volume 2.

Cheers

Here's a lesson that shares some light on how patches can be made.
This lesson is similar to the ones Ableton included, but i hope it will be useful.

Enjoy
