Corpus
Corpus
Corpus is a resonator-based effect in Ableton Live that can be used to add acoustic resonance to a sound. It can be used to enhance the natural resonance of an instrument or add an acoustic layer to synthetic sounds. It is basically the Resonator section of Collision, which we have studied in a previous lesson.To use Corpus, simply add it as an effect to an audio or midi track in Ableton Live and adjust the parameters to achieve the desired effect.
Here are some ways to use Corpus:
- Enhance drum sounds: Corpus can be used to add resonance and body to drum sounds. For example, you can add a punch to a snare drum or use it to add to tighten a kick drum or add sub to it..
- You can also use Corpus to add an acoustic layer to synth sounds.This will make them sound more unique and give them an acoustic sheen. Alternately you could also use to enhance the existing character of a synth patch.
- Enhance vocal and acoustic instrument recordings: You can use Corpus to enhance the natural resonance of vocal or piano.
You can adjust the resonator type, size, and positions where the vibrations are measured, as well make the sound more inharmonic. There is also a filter to fine-tune the harmonic spectrum and LFO for creating movement and variation in the sound.
Bleed mixes a portion of the unprocessed signal with the resonated signal. At higher values, more of the original signal is applied. This is useful for restoring high frequencies, which can often be damped when the tuning or quality are set to low values.
quality are set to low values.
