Weeklyish Patch 18 – M-S Encoder/Decoder
It’s been a while since I uploaded a new live rack, but I guess that’s why it’s called “weeklyish”.
This time I’ve built a M-S encoder and decoder. What it does is take a stereo signal, which is encoded in Left and Right channels, and encode it as Mid and Side allowing for separate processing of each and preventing some phase problems that can occur when processing a stereo signal.

Weeklyish Patch 17 – Freezeverb
It’s always “more distortion” or “more cowbell”, but no one ever asks for more reverb. How sad.
Well, if you are with me on this, here’s a reverb fix for you. This week’s rack uses Live Reverb’s Freeze function to generate the decay, allowing super long reverb tails and endless reverb when cranking the Decay all the way up. Also, it adds a M/S EQ for fine control of every aspect of your reverb’s tone.

Weeklyish Patch 16 – Bass Monomaker
Bass Monomaker is a Rack that converts the lower part of the spectrum into mono. Very helpful to ensure your bass and kick don’t lose punch due to phase cancellations.

Weeklyish Patch 15 – Feedback Theory Synth
Feedback Theory Synth is a rack created off a sample of a DJ mixer fed back into itself (tone snob note: a Stanton SA3 fed back into itself).
Here’s part of a tutorial by the Scratch Perverts where Prime Cuts explains how to setup a mixer for feedback.

Weeklyish Patch 13 – Drum Repeat
Drum Repeat adds MPC Note Repeat like functionality to your controller. Here’s a vid showing how it works (made using my brand new toy built off CamTwist and Quick Time Pro).

Weeklyish Patch 12 – Stereo Reverb
This rack was built based on a post by Robert Henke in the Ableton forums about how Live’s reverb takes the input signal, sums it to mono, then processes it and outputs a stereo reverb.
What the Stereo Reverb does is split the signal into L and R channels and process each with its own reverb. It then adds an M/S EQ to allow independent tone control between the reverb’s center and its sides.

Weeklyish Patch 11 – Drums Divider
Drums Divider is a tool that lets you divide a breakbeat into Kick, Snare, and Hats / Cymbals. Very handy for those times when you want to remove the hats or just process the kicks but don’t want to go into chopping up the break.
