Groove3 Vocal Colors Explained [TUTORIAL]
Native Instruments’ Vocal Colors offers some truly unique sound design opportunities, and with this Vocal Colors video course, production expert Larry Holcombe will get you up to speed quickly. From expansive, ever-evolving drones to rhythmically charged, otherworldly soundscapes and more, you’ll learn how to create countless inspiring tones for your own productions in no time and have fun doing it. We designed these Vocal Colors videos for novice Vocal Colors users.
Larry welcomes you to the course and starts off by familiarizing you with the layout of the interface, so you’re fully prepared to dig in and get your feet wet. You’ll then learn about the two Layers available, which contain a wealth of raw sounds you can combine and blend to form the basis of your patch. Then it’s on to the Tone pane, where you’ll find controls for many parameters, such as formants, tuning, vibrato, tone, and more.
Explore the MOD FX pane next, where you’ll have access to a number of built-in effects that can be modulated to take your sounds to another sonic place altogether. The Channel FX is covered next, including useful tools like EQ, compression, reverb, and delay. There’s more to come in the rest of the course, such as the Layers Motion pane (LFO and various sequences), Particles tab (creating clusters around the root note for ethereal effects and more), Arpeggiator (for melodic and rhythmic sequences, creating chords, etc.), Global tab (master effects and more), Modulation (additional sources, including the main expression knob), and more! Larry concludes the course with a sound design tutorial, showcasing the creation of a sound from the ground up.
