Скачать или смотреть Nils Frahm 'Says' - How to make the arpeggio sound with DRC synth

So much of electronic music is dominated by the kick drum. It commands control of a club with its pumping pulse, a bass-fueled metronome for the crowd to coordinate their dance moves. Depending on your workflow, (and genre of course) it might very well be the first note you lay down for every single track you create, and ultimately influence the development of the piece thereafter.

This week for our DRC Sound Design Tutorial however, we’re delving into a different side of electronic music, breaking free from the restraints of dance/club-oriented records and into the beautiful world of modern classical/contemporary.

The concept of mixing symphonies and synthesizers dates back to the birth of some of the machines themselves; a notable example being Wendy Carlos’ iconic soundtrack for the 1971 film ‘A Clockwork Orange’ featuring some very haunting versions of Purcell, Rossini, and Beethoven within.

Our focus today is on original compositions though, specifically the 2013 track ‘Says’ by German musician, composer, and producer Nils Frahm. A classically trained pianist with a love of vintage synths, drum machines, and effects units, his performances see him surrounded by the likes of Roland and Moog.

To create the arpeggio sound from the track with its modulated movements and ambient delay, in addition to DRC we also use our free effects plugin ‘DLYM Delay Modulator’ which you can 'download here'.

In the video, Lucas plays the notes for the arpeggio part live, but you don’t need to of course, just grab the free Ableton Live session from the link below!

ATTENTION: All Pre-Gain values for DRC in this video need to be lowered by 0.250.
This is because this tutorial was made with an older version of DRC which had a different tuning on the saturation stage. We have corrected the values in the Ableton session.
