3:05 lol, FM being actually PM in so many cases absolutely did my head in when i was a teenager. i heard that looping kick get faster and faster until it was a bass tone in röyksopp's vision one & figured all right, so to replicate that i'll take a saw a few octaves down and feed it into a sine, imagine my disappointment when all i heard was an out-of-tune sine with some little clicks sprinkled in. when you know it's phase modulation going on, it makes sense -- PM is (loosely speaking) equivalent to FM by the *derivative* of the modulator, which, in the case of a perfect digital saw, is a constant. donks aside, if anyone is looking for "proper", intuitive FM results to play with, the free & open source surge has you covered. it's just A into B, but A and B can come from several different engines incl. VA, generic wavetables, or even a baby 3-operator OPL-style setup, so there are weeks worth of sound design sessions to be had from just the FM mode.
@OwenTheGeekАй бұрын
Yeah, Surge is one of the greatest freebie synths for sure. Good shout! 🙌
@johndozesoph4136Ай бұрын
that sound is probably hard sync. i doubt it's FM/PM like(it's defo not a looping kick like i've seen a few people claim). the formants don't move as it moves around in pitch and the grind is always the same. there's no way to do that with FM/PM without having some kind of oscillator slaved to another. ok, i guess you can use saw wave carriers, but that pretty much is hard sync and you'll still have the formants move around with the pitch. listen to the part when they start playing the melody later with the same patch. that gives it away that it is hard sync

@OwenTheGeekАй бұрын
Brilliant. I think they're exceptional in the sense that they feel like real synths, sonically. Most plugin synths just have this boring plugin aesthetic (sonically), but the Chipsynths seem to exude this extra dimension.

@@OwenTheGeek probably because winter here in Montreal makes us want to stay inside at all costs, so David, the developer really takes the time to craft these incredible plugins. I especially love the song player in Chipsynth MD
