Arpeggiator superpowers in Ableton Live with Dual Arpeggio (Reason Rack Plugin)

Published 2021-10-25
Music is easy: just find a chord progression you like and split the chords into notes! How can you split chords into notes? Arpeggiators! But proper arpeggiators, not those that just do continuous directional patterns. Full-featured arpeggiators like Reasons Dual Arpeggio allow you to send rich MIDI patterns to your Ableton synthesizers.

    Thank you for helping share the power and creativity of the Dual Arpeggio device! <3

    I know, it's very hard to believe the Ableton hasn't updated their arp since......they first came out with it. Crazy. I bet they could come up with something much better pretty easily.
  • @GabrielCalarco
    As a Reason's fan, an arpeggiator's fan and an Underdog's fan, I can say this video really made my day :)
  • @antr611
    Loved your videos before the Reason content, now I genuinely look forward to it coming out. Your style is so easy to follow and you give just enough technical info to understand but not confuse. Keep up the good work it is so appreciated.
  • Excellent video again ! You make the music more accessible with you video. A great source of inspiration as usual. Love you channel. Reason + Ableton are really a monster combo.
  • @dpbennett
    Brilliant lesson. Thank you. I use Reason as my primary DAW and it was nice to see a demonstration of the Dual Arp tool.
  • @Dettol68
    Oscar, first love your stuff and just studying your course, which I just bought and loving it! 8 hour industrial techno - this series using Reason Rack Plugin is genius and breathing life into my dogged commitment to loving Reason Rack, but Ableton Live 11's feel - keep them coming
  • @nicoantuna1454
    Super awesome examples at the end, especially with Koyaanisqaatsi! Thanks for this video, I didn't even realize Reason had this feature
  • @JeremiahTrue
    I love the dual arp in Reason but never really experimented with the patterns and velocities as much as I should have. This was very informative 👍
  • @johannaets4837
    I totally forgot about this trick.. Love your channel and the info you are feeding us. Keep up the good work Oscar!!!
  • I love Philip Glass. I met him during the Einstein on the Beach world tour. He's a very gentle thoughtful man. Please produce more Philip Glass arpeggio analysis please!
  • @farenwyde
    Great videos Oscar! I’m in the very very begging of learning, yet your techniques help so much to make my tracks sound like I might know a thing or two:)) also love how simple you make the explanation and a level of creativity in all of the thing you make! Thank you!
  • @tarmekmusic
    Incredible tutorial, this gives huge possibilities of arpeggios, this video deserves to receive the record of likes!!
  • @Jan-DerekKuster
    Dear Oscar! Wow… I watched the movie Koyaanisqatsi lightyears ago, and I loved it a lot…!! Weird and inspiring movie…! Great stuff! Same as your awesome tutorials! Love your relaxed, humble and competent style to explain complex things. Frankly speaking, I do not understand a lot of things you say, but it is so nice to listen and watch a master of music production… made me start playing around in Ableton and try out what you teach! Thank you so much!! One day I wanna book a course with you! Please keep up your great work and stay true to your values! All the best! Cheers Jan 😊🙏
  • Your excitement in this one is infectious. Thanks for all you offer 🔥
  • @darkalexsax
    Ableton’s stock arpeggiator is actually very powerful if you modulate it’s parameters and… if you use multiples instances on the same midi tracks :)
  • @Tyblubearboy
    As a Reason user and a fan of your channel, this content containing Reason is very inspiring Oscar. I would love to see you create some 140bpm hard Techno like Paula Temple/SNTS etc using the Reason rack plugin. Keep up the great work :)
  • @Gino_567
    incredible video! I always wondered how I could get more inspiration when it came to arps and this is just amazing.
