JTC Guitar Luca Mantovanelli The Jazz Masterclass: Vol.2 [TUTORIAL]

Unlock the magic of 2-5-1 major and minor progressions and develop your own vocabulary to create fluent lines packed with colourful tension. Following Luca’s multi-level Masterclass will give you the knowledge needed to master this essential facet of jazz.

What’s it about?
The 2-5-1 progression provides a landscape for exciting edge-of-your-seat lines and in this Masterclass, Luca shows you how to navigate it. Taking you from the basics of both the major and minor versions of the progression, all the way to the tools needed to develop your licks.

Built around a range of exercises, with each level offering an exciting array of licks, this Masterclass is perfect for players looking for a step-by-step track into the stylings of Martino, Brecker and Lagrene.

What will I learn?
Luca begins by showing you the intervallic knowledge needed to be comfortable in the 2-5-1 progression and shows you how to apply the pentatonic scale. In the intermediate section, the focus shifts to resolving to the 3rd and 5th, and how the superlocrian scale can help you do this.

Built around longer phrases, the advanced section is where you put everything together, and also take on the infamous “Giant Steps” standard.

A sound-designers dream. Flexible cable-free semi-modular routing via drag and drop encourages experimentation.

Use audio sources as modulations, and modulations as audio sources.

Combine and process modulation sources with mappers, quantizers, rectifiers, sample and holds, and many more processing modules.

Free upgrade for Aspect 1 owners.

Over 600 factory presets.

About Aspect 2
Aspect is a 32 note polyphonic software instrument that combines a great-sounding, powerful synthesis engine with a flexible semi-modular architecture and unparalleled ease of use.

The core of Aspect’s superb sound are two analogue modelled oscillators, each capable of producing a powerful selection of raw waveforms, and dual filters that can be routed in series, in parallel, or even blended into unique combinations.

Primary modulation sources come in the form of three analogue modelled envelopes – capable of producing quick, snappy attacks – three precise multi-segment envelope generators, and three free running or tempo synced LFOs.

A flexible patch section allows sources to be combined and processed to produce complex modulations from these simple sources, whilst a versatile modulation architecture allows practically anything to be used as a modulation source and destination.

All controls can be easily mapped to a hardware controller using the simplified MIDI Learn feature.

With optimised audio algorithms that won’t overload your processor, rock-solid stability, and easy integration with any MIDI hardware controller, Aspect is ideal for live work. With a simple and intuitive interface, flexible Bank and Program management, and total parameter automation, Aspect fits right into your studio environment.

Montage Hyperlight Echoes: Sci-Fi Minimalist WAV

Montage Hyperlight Echoes: Sci-Fi Minimalist WAV

“To declare that Earth must be the only planet with life in the universe would be inexcusably bigheaded of us” – Neil deGrass Tyson.

The recent phenomenon of legitimate UFO’s and unexplained arial sightings has reinvigorated the age old debate – “Are we alone in this universe”? This question forces us to think about what it means to be human on this small spinning rock floating through space. This sample pack is inspired by this concept that evocative sound design starts with a human or natural source. Producer Charles Van Kirk and composer/vocalist Emily Greene created this pack by asking the question: if we were hired to score an artful science fiction film such as Arrival or Dune, what sort of cinematic music and sound design palette could we create by starting with only the human voice?

The duo started by recording their voices in weird spaces: singing through didgeridoos, fans, in strange reverberating rooms, and through other found objects. They combined these sounds with tonal noises from furnaces, motors, and bird sounds sampled on the big island of Hawaii.

Each sound has been sampled, stretched, re-amped, performed and re-sampled again, often many times over through Sensory Percussion and different synths before yielding a cold, ominous, eerie, and truly captivating soundscape of cinematic samples.

Stretching the bounds of the familiar, these vocal sourced samples retain a undeniable “humanness” while being the ideal inspiration for a sci-fi film score. Use these drones and chords as unsettling beds for dark electronic music or sample the sensory percussion in your next track that needs a bit of extraterrestrial mystery. Give into the cold light from the ominous craft havering above you and let yourself be taken into the beyond.
