Yo, we have created a tutorial on creating drumkicks with operator, with it now you can have your own custom kickass kicks, now you can finally forget about those samples.

I'm about half way through this tutorial and like where it's going! But I can't for the life of me highlight the Operator and the EQ8 so that I can group them - anyone have any idea why this might be? If I highlight the drum rack I can also highlight the EQ8 but that's not how it's done in the video and I don't get the macro controls between drum rack and operator...

You have to use the shift key to multi select many devices.

Cheers, enjoy !

Thanks TweakingKnobs! Despite being quite an experienced Live user, I've been pretty much exclusively using Logic for the last 8 months, which seems to have turned me into a Live retard! (I was pressing cmd I think)

Really nice tutorial dude, I learnt a few things about Operator there and now have a tasty, customisable kick preset!

I've got a question you may know the answer to - I've mapped Osc B pitch envelope on/off to a macro, which is showing the default 0-127 when I move the dial, is there any way to change that so between 0 and 63 it says 'Off' then between 64 and 127 it says 'On'? Obviously this is far from essential, but it would be nice.

Unfortunately this is not possible, what i normally do for these cases is i just rename the macro to "On/Off".

hope it helps

No worries! I've got the macro named that way, which is enough really I suppose! Thanks for the tutorial.

Synthesized kicks are always fun because you obviously have much more control over how they sound than using a sample

BUT

I have found that they key is to layer a kick sample that has a nice thwack or some other great quality and then use a synth to really get that low end thud

You can also layer many of these presets
