Let’s change the lowpass filter to a highpass filter (12dB) and push it up to about 250 Hz, which will allow it to gel with the sine layer much more smoothly.

This layer will be our mid and high range texture. Let’s switch it up by changing the wave type from sine to square (sq3, specifically).

Select the device and refer to oscillator A once more. Solo the top layer by clicking on the “S” square. There we will find our sub bass patch, named “Operator.” Let’s duplicate this by holding down cmd/ctrl, clicking on the device in the Chain List window, and then dragging down below it and letting go. The third down from the top brings up the rack’s Chain List. Now let’s add some personality to this patch! We’re going to create an Instrument Rack by selecting the Operator device and pressing cmd/ctrl+G or by right-clicking on the device and selecting “Group.” On the very left of the Instrument Rack, you’ll notice four nodes. We only need the low, sub 100 Hz frequencies for this layer, so we’ll activate Operator’s filter set to lowpass (12dB), cutting below 100 Hz as shown below: For this, we’ll be using oscillator A in Live’s Operator, set to a sine wave.

To start off, we’ll need to create the infamous simple sine.
