Following on from Protoculture’s Sound Design Tech Tips for Future Rave, we now bring you the full How To Make Future Rave course !

Over the next three hours of tutorials, Nate builds this absolute classic Future rave track from scratch – firstly looking at what defines the genre before piecing together our elements designed in the Tech Tips course. We then move on to arranging the layout before adding effects, ear candy and automation and then finishing off with a mixdown and master.

Simple to follow along using only Sonic Academy and free or stock plugins – with both courses combined, you literally have everything you need to nail this genre and produce your own hard-hitting epic Future Rave track!

LFO Store Korg Wavestate 2 Melodic Patterns

LFO Store Korg Wavestate 2 Melodic Patterns [Synth Presets]

“Melodic Patterns” is a collection of 50 arpeggio performances for Korg Wavestate.
There is a wide variety of arps in the soundset: slow and fast, simple and complex, electronic and “instrumental”, soft and bright, gentle and expressive, dreamy and dark, sustained and punchy… It also includes generative style arpeggios that are great for ambient.

Hold the keys, tweak performance controls and get melodic parts for your productions and jams!

Highlights:

  • True wave sequence 2.0 synthesis, extensive and deep use of unique Wavestate features, that make the presets stand out from other synthesizers (subtractive, wavetable, FM…)
  • Thoroughly set parameters and complex modulations
  • All 8 Performance Knobs/Macros are assigned to different parameters. They give changes from subtle to dramatic
  • Vector Envelope adds movement. It has its own motion, and you may tweak it to change the timbre
  • ModWheel adds expression
  • No external/additional samples are required
  • Performances’ volumes are equalized for a comfortable browsing
  • Suitable for Ambient, IDM, Cinematic, Deep, Progressive, House, Techno, Chill Out, Downtempo, Lounge, Experimental, Breaks, D’n’B, Industrial and other genres…

Important technical information:

Check you Wavestate clock settings, if it’s set incorrectly, the arp may not work.

Vector Envelope movement behaves differently depending on how you hold keys for the arp. If you hold the keys on the keyboard, with a sustain pedal, or you have a midi-clip in your DAW with long notes, then the Vector Envelope will move according to its settings. If you use Arp Latch Mode on Wavestate and push keys without holding them, then the Vector Envelope will not move, but you may move the joystick manually.

Thus, if you use Arp Latch Mode the timbre is a bit simpler (as it lacks additional movement), if you hold the keys without Arp Latch Mode the timbre is more complex due to pre-programmed movement. This information will help you to choose the right scenario for your workflow.

PSPaudioware PSP stereoContoller2 v2.0.0 [WIN]

The correction tool for dual channel stereophonic signals!
PSP stereoController2 is designed to control, adjust, and rescue incorrectly recorded dual channel stereo tracks, or process them for specialized applications or cool sonic tricks.

PSP stereoController2 can be used in various situations:

unbalanced stereo image due to level difference between channels, e.g. in dual microphone stereo recordings

slight time alignment shift between channels

a track’s stereo image is too narrow or too wide for the mix

when the center instrument seems to be shifted to one side

virtually emulating an instrument’s location in the soundfield via combined level and delay panning

one or both channels have reversed polarity, or the channels are swapped

decoding a Mid-Side (M-S) encoded track into L/R stereo

reducing the stereo width of low frequencies, or making them mono, for proper speaker or subwoofer replay or for reliably cutting vinyl

widening stereo width of high frequencies for more ‘airy’ harmonics and spaciousness

fine adjustment of stereo imaging during the mastering process
