Lesson transcript

Music Lesson: Exploring the Microcorg and Effects Control

Okay, so what I'm doing here is I'm using this Microcorg.

  • I've augmented it by adding this Launch Control XL to it.

    • This addition enables me to access many more parameters within the Microcorg than I would normally be able to get to.
  • I'm also using the Novation Launch Control to activate and control effects that are being applied by the Chaos Pad.

    • The Chaos Pad serves as an external effects unit.

All this magic is happening inside a device within Ableton Live that we're going to build during the process of this first part of the course.
