If you play this, you will hear the combined sound of the two channels. Also, you can create a pattern in the Layer channel, see below: If you now select the Layer channel and hit some keys, you will hear the combined sound of the two channels. See below:Īnd that’s it! You have created your first layer. …and subsequently clicking the Set children button on the Channel settings dialog of the Layer channel. You can do this by first selecting the Layer channel, right clicking the Channel selectors for the channels you want to assign… Next, we will make our two new channels child channels of our Layer channel. The channels that I added can be found in the Browser under Packs Legacy Strings. To demonstrate this, let’s add a few channels. What it can do however is trigger sounds in so called child channels (which are the generators). You can hit the keys until dawn, it will not make any sound. Now, the Layer channel itself is not a generator. All I have at this stage is the Layer channel: In the screenshot below you see my Step Sequencer. To create a layer, add a Layer channel to your Step Sequencer. Also, we can achieve some really nice effects by using a crossfade feature. With this channel we can create complex, rich sounds by combining individual generator channels. In this tutorial I will also discuss layering, but by means of a special layer channel. See Fattening your beats/making your own samples. In a previous tutorial I explained that layering sounds is an effective technique for making fatter, punchier beats.
