23.8 Operator
The Operator
Instrument.
Operator is an advanced and exible synthesizer that combines the concept of frequency
modulation (FM) with classic subtractive and additive synthesis. It utilizes four multi-wave-
form oscillators that can modulate each other's frequencies, creating very complex timbres
from a limited number of objects. Operator includes a lter section, an LFO and global
controls, as well as individual envelopes for the oscillators, lter, LFO and pitch.
With the release of Live 8, Operator has been dramatically overhauled with powerful new
features. Despite this, the interface is mostly unchanged, and presets and Sets that were
made with earlier versions of Operator are fully compatible with this update.
The full version of Operator is not included with the standard version of Live, but is a special
feature available for purchase separately.
