Weird how I've never really called the fundamental the "first harmonic" yet when I refer to Odd harmonics I refer to the 1st, 3rd, 5th and so on. Even harmonics of course being the 2nd, 4th and 6th in the series that you see in a spectrum analyzer. The first "overtone" on the other hand would count as the 2nd harmonic an octave above the fundamental. Around five minutes Daniel talks about resonance. I could be wrong but I think the resonance bump is a property of the in-phase frequency being stacked on top of itself from the feedback. Woah, didn't know the thing about sweeping a sub oscillator for clicks! Gosh I discover something new in every one of Daniel's vids.

This video is awesome. Of course I already knew about setting min and max for filter cutoff, but never knew or noticed about the precision you could get by listening out for harmonics if you've got a lot of resonance. Just tried this on my Bass Station II and it works great...

Thanks Dan, nice tut and love the Typhon. It may be easier to describe harmonics as whole number divisions of the fundamental wavelength (as mutliples of the frequency feels like you would be going up in octaves, though I know what you mean).

Hi Fatty BoomBatty. While both ways of describing a harmonic of a fundamental frequency are true, only one of those ways will help you to accurately set the Filter Cutoff's Frequency knob exactly at the desired harmonic (by knowing the frequency, in Hz, of that harmonic). Knowing that the fifth harmonic of a particular wavelength is equal to that wavelength divided into five parts gives you no clue at all about where to set the Filter Cutoff's Frequency knob. -_Daniel_

Great video. This attaches reality to the theory very nicely. I would dig having DF as a teacher. Is anyone from sweetwater involved in developing any microtonal standards yet? when MIDI2 is common, we will need a convention like define 6 or 8 or w/e microtones between each full tone. you know it's coming. you saw those crazy microtone keyboards at NAMM and the harmonics of strange chords was absolutely captivating.

Dan, I’ve followed and love all your SynthClips demos since the very first one, thanks. Would it be of any value to your viewers to see a demo done on how clamping point works? I have a Model 15 controlled by everything except the duo phonic Moog keyboard. Is there a way to manipulate the clamping point parameter on this instrument with say a MiniMoog Voyager XL or Mother 32? (However personalized) there’s gotta be more folks out there like myself having the same question. I know “we”would certainly benefit.

Great video, one point that bothers me around the 10 minute mark, comparing a 13#11 chord in jazz(presumably in equal temperament) sounds very different than that chord in Just Intonation, the third is a little flat, the 11th is almost a pure quarter tone and the 13th is not quite a quarter tone flat but 40% or so flat. I understand leaving out math if that is your goal but leaving out the difference between the intervals derived from the harmonic series and equal temperament can lead to future confusion with both mind and ear.

In your Ob6 vs Prophet 6 video you said you could make a notch and bandpass with a prophet 6 please could you demonstrate this. You said it at 5:58
@sweetwater3 жыл бұрын
Hi Barrny. I had to go back and look at the manual as that video is almost seven years old. Bandpass is easy since both filter cutoffs each have a KEYBOARD tracking button. Simply set the High-Pass Cutoff to choose the lowest frequency you want to let through, and set the Low-Pass Cutoff to choose the highest frequency you want to let through. Then, only the frequencies in between those two frequencies will get through (in a Band-Pass manner). Pressing both KEYBOARD buttons will allow that Band-Pass frequency center to follow along. It turns out that simulating a Notch filter is not possible as you don't have the ability to put those two filters in parallel. (They are always in series.) Sorry for getting your hopes up on that one. -_Daniel_

Hi superblonde. Although there already are many videos out there showing the math and graphs of sound parameters, I decided from the beginning that Synth Clips was going to teach the viewer how to focus on *hearing* the motions of sound parameters rather than visually interpreting the graphs of those motions, or deciphering the math describing those motions. My reasoning is: In the end, it's eventually going to come down to using your ears anyway. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
