There’s no doubt you’ve heard the groovy tones of the Rhodes and Wurlitzer in some of your favourite tracks. As luscious as they sound, you’d be lucky to get your hands on an original one without paying a hefty price. Happily, Ableton Live’s Electric device does a fantastic job at recreating these instruments in-the-box. It can even go beyond the traditional uses of the electric piano.

In this Ableton Live Tutorial, Liam O’Mullane shows you the ins and outs of Electric. You’ll learn how this acoustically modelled instrument can recreate the sounds of electric pianos, as well as bass and percussive tones. Liam breaks down the parameters and engines in Electric, so you can understand the many ways in which to manipulate the instrument to your needs.
