The Berlin Ableton User Group is back! This meetup is open to producers, songwriters, DJs, and musicians of all types and proficiency levels who use Ableton and are looking to exchange ideas, network, meet like-minded producers, and learn new tips and tricks from our presenters and fellow participants.
For this month’s Ableton User Group, we will be exploring FM Synthesis. In this workshop, you will learn how to utilize FM Synthesis to design your own unique synth sounds. For demonstration purposes, we will be focusing on the use of Ableton’s stock FM synth, Operator, but the concepts you learn can easily be applied to any FM-style synth.
We will cover what FM Synthesis is, and how it differs from other styles of sound synthesis, understanding key parameters of FM style synths (e.g. Carrier, Modulator, Ratio, Algorithm, Operator), and practical sound design examples.
About the artist:
Keanu Raves is an Ōtautahi (New Zealand) producer and DJ who began his journey through the underground in 2018 after an inspiring night out at the Berlin techno institution Tresor. This inspiration still courses through his music, which veers between classic Detroit style grooves and the reverb drenched chord-stab heavy sound of Berlin.
2023 saw Keanu release music on Keepsakes’ imprint Haven, and for the Swedish techno imprint Substantiv, as well as make his international DJ debut for Copenhagen-based party Gag.
In May 2024 Keanu made the move to Berlin, where he is now based, to deeper immerse himself in the international techno scene. Through 2024 – 2025, Keanu released a plethora of music across various international labels including Mood Supplier (UK), Synapsa (Poland), Rave Your Soul (Croatia/Netherlands), Diffuse Reality (Germany/Spain) and Trau-ma (Portugal).
