Parallel processing is a technique for mixing an effected version of a track with a dry version. This is particularly helpful when you want to process a sound but the plug-in doesn’t have a dry/wet knob or you want to be able to control the effected signal with additional effects, such as EQ, reverb etc.

One of my favourite plug-ins that comes bundled with Ableton Live is the Resonator. It’s a strange beast but essentially it’s a bit like oscillators that can be tuned independently and that react to the volume of whatever you put into it; it also has controllable decay, a dry/wet blend and a rudimentary filter.
I want to quickly have a look at this chord I stumbled across in Charles Mingus’s 1955 piece, Jump Monk, which can be found on the album, Mingus at the Bohemia.
