![]() ![]() Just unclick the yellow button in the delay section. Top tip: You can use the Freeze section without the delay for rhythmic glitches. Adjust the Dry/Wet until you get a good-sounding blend. Hit that Freeze button and hear how the frozen bits of sound get pushed through the delay section at 1/8 intervals. Click the note button to change the Interval to note amounts and then turn the dial until you reach 1/8. (Onset works great for triggering via transients.) Let’s go with 1/8 notes to trigger freezes. Ĭlick on Retrigger and select Sync so the freeze function engages at periodic intervals. You could automate the Freeze button for sporadic glitches and stops but we’re going to use the Retrigger function to create rhythmic effects. It grabs a portion of the audio and holds it. Try hitting the Freeze button with the big asterisk and listen to what happens. Make sure the Freeze section is engaged by clicking the little yellow button next to the Freeze label. The Freeze section can really bring things alive, stopping (or freezing) the affected signal at periodic intervals. So far, we’ve only explored half of what Spectral Time has to offer. Granular delays are the most complex delay plug-ins and can warp and mangle audio into a completely different sound. Most granular delays also incorporate pitch-shifters, which allow them to change the pitch of each slice. Adjusting the frequency knob (called Freq) will adjust the pitch of the effect. Grain delays slice the input audio into extremely short segments, then delay each slice by a slightly different time. You’ll hear a very tight and metallic-sounding delay effect, much like Special Request used on ‘ Spectral Frequency’. It’s in the Reverbs & Resonance folder in the Audio Effects section. Metallic DelayĬreate an audio track, drop in your sample and call up Spectral Resonator. We’ll be using the breakbeat ‘110_DiscoBeat_01_TL.wav’ from the Soulful Drum Grooves sample pack by Touch Loops throughout this tutorial. Probably the best way to understand it is to to get stuck in and try a couple of different things with it, so let’s do just that. That doesn’t tell us much, does it? Think of it as a morphing effect that can do a number of things: delays, reverbs, and vocoder-like pitch effects. How to describe Spectral Resonator? Ableton says on its website, ‘(Spectral Resonator) breaks the spectrum of an incoming audio signal into partials, then stretches, shifts and blurs the result by a frequency or a note in subtle or radical ways’. ![]()
