Ableton Newbee Question

Hey folks, a quick question if you please.



Is there any way to have one variable (like a reverb wet/dry knob) ‘listen’ to another variable (like velocity of a note).



I know about macros but I don’t know how to have one knob react to the other in the same rack.



Basically what I’m trying to do is this (in Ableton):

How to make a typical Electro bassline. - YouTube



Any help = awesome.



Thanks!

Do you mean an X Y filter kind of thing. There’s that ability in Ableton - when you create an instrument it automatically creates an XY for it, you just then use the drop downs to select the filters / knobs and move the dot around to change them

Hey Bouffont!



Yeah, I got that part down: the tweaking of knob-variables of an external synth in the x/y controller.



But here’s what I mean:

Say I want my reverb to go up (dry/wet knob) when I move the EQ-bass (gain knob) down and I want it to happen automatically without having to do automation for both.

Can that be done?



Or, I want the reverb to turn on when a note is not playing, so I only get the tail.



That sort of thing.



In FL Studio you can have one effect’s knob send signals to the knob of a total different effect using simple formulas (as shown in the video).



Is there any way to do that in Ableton?



Thx!

you can assign multiple controls to a single macro



just right click on the control and select macro 1 for filter frequency then do the same for the reveb dry/wet

Like Phil said, this is used in just about every pro track put out. This is great for buildups in breakdowns and its even great to add a different sound to your track so you dont necessarily have to add a completely different sound to your song.

Ah, that makes perfect sense!

It works now, thanks!



I just mapped everything I want to have happen in the effect rack to 2 knobs and next I’ll put those knobs on a midi x/y controller.

Too bad there’s no x/y controller that comes as an effect in ableton, but knobs make sense too.



Thanks guys! Y’all saved the day.
