Let’s make music with ppooll
Membership plan: Going Deeper | Topics: Music Production
Course overview
Rather than a standard basic introduction, this workshop focuses on diving in with specific techniques. You will get to create a ppooll environment designed for live performance and real-time audio manipulation. We’ll dive straight into practical topics like integrating MIDI controllers, effecting and manipulating live input, and syncing ppooll patches (acts).
The hope with this workshop is to highlight some more advanced ppooll features, and translating what is considered traditional musical language into this generative music-making software.
What you'll learn
- How to connect and configure MIDI controllers for live performance.
- Setting up live looping workflows within ppooll.
- Techniques for syncing multiple ppooll patches (acts) for complex setups.
Who is this course for?
