Glitch Sampler Part 9


Making a glitchy pad sample instrument, part 9: filter, effects and having a play

Watch the video

Notes
  • (1:35) The samples in this sample map don't have a huge amount of top end, so opening the filter up doesn't produce a huge burst of high harmonics. But use a brighter set of samples and this could change completely.
  • (3:00) This is all down to the resonance of the filter boosting a narrow band of frequencies in the sample. If your filter cutoff is at a frequency where the sample is very loud (for instance if the sample has been EQ'd to boost the mid-range somewhere), the resonance will boost these loud frequencies up even higher and you can get problems with levels. Depends on the quality and content of your samples.

this blog is a great reaktor learning resource.

would you be able to publish your filter/lfo macro so that I can see what you've done with it. I've tried using Reaktor's included filter macros but i get confused on how I'm supposed to wire it up.
