Yesss Nick is back with a good one

[@bjorncmadsen]

Excellent informative video without a long intro and the perfect length. I wish all of KZbin was so oriented.

[@thetruthexperiment]

Always love a short or zero intro.

[@infergnojinn7745]

Please Nick. I need a deeper dive into synthesis. Even if you make this a series. I love synthesis and i don't know why😪

where is my favourite, granular synthesis :D

Nice to hear that You pronounce “moog” the right way 👍☺️

how do people pronounce it wrong lmfao it's literally so easy to pronounce

Very informative

[@pablo-zn1mg]

wavetable sounds so complicated lol. I've been learning Diva as my first synth and it's been really interesting process. I guess now I know I've been learning subtractive synthesis. I was just calling it analog emulation.

[@ChrisCypher]

Great concise overview of synthesis styles!

Glad you like it!

[@brianbergmusic5288]

The most fascinating aspect of the synthesizer is how a patch can change or morph from one sound to the next. Each type of synthesis (analog/subtractive, wavetable, fm, additive) has a unique quality of sound transformation. Therefore, it is no contest at all, and a good electronic musician has each of these tools in their repertoire. There's such a big difference between the en*trance*ing filter sweep in a Roland Jupiter 8 (subtractive) versus the alien gurgling growl of a dubstep bass (FM). FM synthesis seems to be the most elusive to master of the bunch. It's so easy to go off the rails from some bell-like tone to a dentist drill on shrooms. The other forms of synthesis feel like bowling with those kiddie bumper-guards on in comparison. While the Sega Genesis made SIMPLE fm synthesis mainstream, that is merely the tip of the iceberg.

[@jdlcmusic]

Do phase distortion synthesis next!

Granular synthesis please!

Yes, you can find it within V Collection 9: on.splice.com/3tI2uax

What is it called,the one that jumps when pressed from one note to another, giving a sudden tone up or down

Im getting v Collection 8 back on track and massive x when my new processor ect turn up. I have been waiting for a month already :( and got an estimate for delivery on the 31st march 21, but I am not holding my breath. Thanks bitcoin lol

[@surajkaushik5092]

thank you so much

[@official-obama]

3:34 Couldn't you just add up all of the sine waves?

[@saintlaflame7887]

that is how you would achieve white noise

[@official-obama]

@@saintlaflame7887 no, if you change the volumes of the sine waves, or don't use all of the frequencies, it wouldn't be white noise.

[@saintlaflame7887]

@@official-obama my bad, adding up all the frequencies in an additive synth would probably create a harmonically rich saw-like sound as it adds together all the available harmonic tones in the synth engine, I didn't realize you were talking about the specific synthesizer and assumed you were talking about sine waves playing in each frequency bin between 20-20kHz (equal amplitude sine waves in each freq)

@@saintlaflame7887 yeah, instead of fft

[@o_ofigures]

Kind've of sucks that so many young producers are not learning how these things work they're just using presets and patches! Which there is nothing wrong with that I guess if they make it unique and they modify it but getting into sound design was something that changed my life

[@selectasanipremium]

I'm a young producer an I'm now getting into synthesis, how exactly did learning sound design change your life?

[@jagsproduction]

What types is best for producing EDMs¿

[@denny7794]

Energy Distorted Modulation synthesis :)

[@user-fo3ug3cr4m]

So when a synthesizer has a cutoff that can close and open, it is additive and subtraktive synthesis, right? And is a LFO equal to FM synthesis?

[@nickthechen]

When you change the cut off of the filter this is subtractive synthesis. Additive Synthesis (the sound source). doesn't involve filter cut off's, (It's just a bunch of sine waves being summed up). Additive SYNTHESIZERS (the whole instrument itself) generally will have a filter cut off. LFO modulating the pitch of an oscillator is FM, however when its so slow /low it sounds like a pitch wobble. the faster the lfo goes you start to get into FM timbres. hope that helps!

[@user-fo3ug3cr4m]

nickthechen Yes. But there are synthesizers e.g. Harmless in FL Studio that are described as additive and subtractive, that’s what I am confused with.

[@08js45]

LFO is for low frequency oscilator, it actually is FM synthesis but with low oscilation modulation, so it doesnt let you make timbres with it, like in actual fm synthesis also a LFO can modulate a whole world of other things, not only the frequency (F.requency M.odulation)

[@gurkenhamster]

That really cleared up some misunderstandings for me. People kept saying that Ableton's Operator was an FM Synthesizer. And I could see that, but I thought wasn't it also an Subtractive and Additive Synthesizer? I used to think the forms of synthesis were mutually exclusive but I guess Operator combines Subtractive, Additive, and FM, right?

[@nickthechen]

Yes Operator is a Swiss Army knife synth!

[@gb4643]

im no ableton user but im pretty sure operator is pm not fm

[@Nicoj1989]

I’m trying to win this challenge based on a noise - guessing what the object is based on the sound- I believe it has to do with fm modulation/ radio frequency based on the hints. The sound played is equivalent to a glass bottle rolling on cement or bolts in a glass jar being shaken, or lots of poker chip being played with. All of those have lost. Any idea what this sound is? I’m so confident it’s somehow related to a smart definition but can not explain it.

[@jeandoyon7532]

What about granular synthesis?

[@mass-1128]

What about Vector Synthesis?
