Well done!

This is excellent!

So much of this is over my head cause I’m not good at math and never took trigonometry. However it is still interesting to me. So I’ve actually been wondering lately what an offset is physically or electronically. I don’t really know how to put it. So is an offset a zero hertz frequency or as you said a fixed dc voltage that we move up and down as needed? Also is am offset a vibration or electrical current physically? And how is an offset created for modular purposes? I have an oscillator that goes into lfo levels but at its highest levels it’s also inaudible. I was thinking maybe those high levels is how an offset voltage is created maybe but I’m probably wrong.

Thank god I ran across a comment of yours on Reddit. Buying shit backward is what I get for jumping into this head first.

love the quality of your video

Great explanations for all the racket I've been making since I got my module for Christmas! I've been working on a Plum Audio Oscope but you make a great use case for the Mordax. I'll have to start selling some plasma.

very interesting.. It is also quite astonishing how different OSC can sound on different analog synths and whether they are mono or poly. the used envelope can also have a massive impact on the sounds when used for classic sync Leads. My take-away is to experiment more with inverting waveform signals when using OSC sync.

Actually this is completely normal: you're not doing hard sync at all. The issue here is (1) you're not syncing the sawtooth wave at all -- you're syncing the *triangle wave* which is being waveshaped into the sawtooth wave on the CEM chip, and (2) the CEM chip is doing *reversing soft sync,* NOT hard sync. The critical image is at 8:27 where you can see the reversing soft sync on the triangle core. It's not "adding triangles to spread the wave over two cycles" -- it's just reversing the wave. Given a standard triangle->sawtooth waveshaper, the images at 6:02 and 7:22 also make 100% sense given that the underlying triangle wave is being reversed. The frequency spectrum isn't really useful to understand what's going on here.

I’ve just bought a Doepfer a-110-4, and it sounds great. Now I’m watching this series to find out what it can do. Looking forward to the rest of it!

Many thanks I do understand sync much better, the animations really helped !

I got a link for your video from an AI, when I asked for some details on oscilator sync in the context of channel sounding. This clip had nothing to do with the topic I needed, but I watched it anyways ;). Good stuff. Keep doing the work and sharing.

nice video but I think you ve messed up the representation of the drum machine, because the clap is at the wrong place

Now I finally understand. Super informative video.

Is this for musician? Sorry, i am sure there are very small number of musician who are interest ih phisics

Well delivered and whimsical. Hats off. Damn good vid.

Ahhhh ..i have the same hainbach panel ..but i like the other side..see him soooo often in youtube, thats enough for me... Cool ❤️ Video.. Best wishes from Vienna ✌️ 🇦🇹

Thx

I've found that the "sweet spot" is much too narrow on the '32. Basically just use it for ratcheted white noise in my setup and leave the melody making to other, more intuitive machines.

Awesome

This is great, taking notes !

I think korg ms-20 mini is great one too also slightly cheaper but way more versetile and iconic with diagram printed on patchbay.

my band teacher in high school was also my math teacher. "Music is math" was one of her favourite sayings, and it's 100% true.

Functionally, is Triple Sloth very different from having some other source of slow LFOs in your rack? I'm an NLC fan, but I struggle to see what the fuss is about.

Thank you for explaining this in simple way, diagrams and the SOUND with oscillator! Amazing

Brilliant. Thank you.

terrific demo, and how good you make it sound!

I like the sync button...🙄

This is the easiest way to understand FM that I have ever seen. Great job.

thanks for making this!

you have a very good presence, makes for interesting and engaging videos. thanks

Forgive me for my naivety but do the unpredictable results have to possibly be due to the exact timing of when the sync is engaged? It seems like the follower waveform shifts to the “synced” waveform depending on where it was in its cycle as compared to the leader waveform. So, would you therefore get different results depending on when you engage the sync function? Or am I misunderstanding how it works.

Thank you very much for making this video! I’ve been producing on computers for about 10 yrs but just got into modular last December so I’m still learning the ropes. I’d been keen to investigate sync as a means to thicken up a voice but I suppose just having oscillators on same envelope and pitch would be less sonically tangential then using sync.

What an incredible explanation!!! Thank you so much, have subscribed and shared to all synth and audio/electronic geeks I know!

Just got one and can’t wait to run it through my system

Great demo sounds! I have heard too many "chip tune" demos that just grate on me.

I've watched this video 4x and still can't figure out what my feague is doing

Slightly hard to watch as, in English, ‘sloth’ rhymes with ‘both’, not ‘cloth’. However, I made it through. Barely. Interesting module; it goes on my list.

If I understand you correctly, the reason for the four seed inputs- rather than just one- is to apply different rules depending on seeds patched, yes? If I don’t understand correctly, my follow-up would be: why four seed inputs?

Thanks a lot for this video! So much information, explained really easy.. Extremely helpful for beginners but also a really nice refresher!

One question I have is regarding how the loop-length corresponds to these schematics. Intuitively I understand how we could cycle in the input after 8+ bits, but what about the less than 8 approach?

beautiful videos

Excellent explanation of the alignment of harmonics! Thank you! The question is still outstanding of why a human brain would prefer aligned harmonics. Any ideas? Maybe it’s outside your scope, but I’m curious nonetheless:) Thanks for the great videos! I really like these on fm.

This is awesome!

Yo when you mentioned the like button the button lit up on my screen. how the hell did you get it to do that?

pretty cool

Great video. So the metal rails along perimeter of the case have nothing to do with power correct? All power comes from the power ribbon cable?

The links are google slides documents not videos

why do i find myself attracted to maths in modular music? thanks for being here and making these :)
