This is great, Live is fun for this kind of thing. one of my favorite things to do is find a section with just the synth line and loop it alongside another track with operator or zebra, and start tweaking away, more often than not you end up with something completely unexpected, but cool nonetheless. Its really satisfying when you nail the sound you were after. Still trying to pin down that windowlicker bass…you know the heavy one.

He’s got the live 8 beta.

I watched this four times. Before this, I dabbled a little bit in Operator (SawD with Chorus to make a strings-esque sound). But now, just by watching and observing I feel like I know a lot more about a tool that is not recognized enough in the electronic world (or at least to my knowledge.)

Thanks Peter for posting this video. And thanks Gustavo for the first comment on electronic musicianship and learning through imitation and emulation. I believe learning how to create sounds that others have made helps a lot.

Anyways, thanks a lot to the both of you for posting this and helping me understand Live’s Operator more.

the story says it’s from Live 8 but to my knowledge that’s not out yet … it also says the Live 7 Operator should work the same way.

My favourite Ben Johnson quote: “observe how the masters have imitated, and imitate likewise”…

Here’s a link to the forum post where Robert Henke says that he used Max/MSP for prototyping some of the audio modules to Ableton Live(such as operator?):
