Corona Days are still upon us. But it is Wednesday….. so…….It’s time for another Ableton Rack!

This week we’re using the old faithful Grain Delay to add more octaves on top and below our vocals (try also on arpeggiators).

The trick is to set the Frequency of the grain so it doesn’t break up the sound or turn it too metallic.

There is even another chain of grain delays, eq, and reverb to add a top layer of vocal synth. Really cool stuff check it out on your own material.

 

 

Macros

 

Octave Lower – Volume of the lower octave chain

↑ Spray – randomize the timing of the lower octave

Double Low – Volume of the Super Low-Octave

↑ High Cut – Cutting lows from the Double low layer

Octave Higher –Volume of the higher octave chain

↑ FDBck – Adding feedback to achieve higher octaves harmonics

Vocal Synth – Volume of the vocal synth layer

↑ Smear – Wide reverb wash for the vocal synth layer
