Screen 1, above, shows how to give yourself both alternatives. Simpler’s ‘Aroura Pad 1’ preset is a softer and less active sound that also compliments the electric piano. The Operator preset ‘Camels in the Desert’ is an arpeggiated preset that works well for this. Now select the instrument you want to layer with the piano and drag it to the Drop Instrument area to create a second chain. Reveal the Rack’s Chain List by clicking the bottom button along the left edge of the Rack. Select the instrument and enclose it in an Instrument Rack (Command+G/Control+G). Start by creating a new MIDI track (Command+Shift+T/Control+Shift+T) and dragging an electric piano instrument to the track (the ‘E‑Piano MKII Bright’ Electric preset is a good choice for layering). One thing I like to do is layer other instruments with an electric piano. This time we’ll focus on using Racks to create complex instruments and MIDI processors. Both articles are available on the SOS website. We covered the basics along with a couple of applications in the December 2011 Live column and explored using Racks for complex audio effects processing in the February 2021 Live workshop. This month we’ll use Live’s Device Racks to get more out of Live devices and third‑party plug‑ins. Pitch‑bend controls the Chain Selector (top) to crossfade between the pad, EP and arpeggiator chains of the Rack.
