Video: How to make a bassline using Ableton’s Simpler

Following last week’s Sonic Academy video tutorial which showed us how to create a drum beat in Ableton Live, we now get a brief introduction to Ableton’s Simpler instrument, and how it can be used to make basslines.

In this video, we learn how to load samples into Simpler, and then how to map out MIDI notes for it to play. We also see how you can then manipulate the sample using Simpler’s controls.

Please note that this is a tutorial for beginners, and will only help newcomers to Ableton.
