Alright, in this video we're going to make our own percussion, we're going to start with something quite basic, we're going to make some kicks.

I'm going to use a few different instruments, but in this first one, keep it short, we'll just do a classic one with the operator.

You basically need two things to make a cake.

A wave is good to start with, which the operator provides.

We really want to have an envelope with a curve like this.

So first we just make a short envelope for the volume amplitude and then we need to enable this pitch envelope and we crank that up to max.

Now it sounds like an old-school tone drum.

Here's where you can start shaping your kick drum using this envelope.

so we can And then you've got this time knob here,

which affects all envelopes in the operator, so if you think that is too short.

So now we're here, we've got a bit of that, sort of an 808 style.

So basically you can play around with these just to create your own custom kick drum which is a bit more interesting than maybe just using your standard drum.

There's a whole lot of other stuff that you can do.

We will go through that in another video.

A super quick and short tutorial on how to make your own kick drums.
Love using my own percussion samples rather than relying on all the same sounds everyone else is using.
