As a computer engineer in my early 30's I'm starting to play piano, taking lessons in a school close to my house and I've recently started listening to synthwave and lofi music and just fell in love with the sound of synthesizers. It is really refreshing to watch your explanation of how they work and remember some of my classes of signal processing in college. Thank you very much for this amazing video!

You are kidding me. This is surreal (or fake). First what exactly did you learn. Seriously. I am a “musician” too. I guess. I have been playing instruments since the early 70’s…most notably the….synthesizer. So perhaps it’s hard for to delineate but I saw him read a script about the three attributes of sound (pitch, tone, volume ) and what the Control names on most synths are. Seriously I am in straight screen saver mode just staring at your comment. So… you have been wanting to understand synths “forever”…but then you watched this video and now you feel you insert and synths? What ones do you own and how did you apply anything from this video to it? Once again not talking these comihrer epigrams because if you are musician then you (wait for it…play actual instruments so which ones have you struggle with but then this video opened your eyes? I am being serious. Not trying to get you upset or anything but this is literally surreal to me (but part of me things it fake or…well,….WOWg

I know synths very well and was only curious about this tutorial. Very good job man. I wish I had somebody to tell me these things back in the day. This makes it so easy to understand for a beginner. I used to read manuals of gear to know that they were doing. There was a user manual of the yamaha cs-5 or something with diagrams and explanation. That was my schoolbook, but not everybody starts to read manuals, and there are better and worse manuals of course. Really well done, very good tutorial.

I have been looking all over the place for such quality of teaching and such attention to detail and such focus on the important basics of electronic music and I couldn't find anything like this, free or paid. Every other "beginner" production course goes straight into creating tracks on Ableton and I would always get stuck as I needed to understand exactly those basics. Please don't stop making those videos, I am willing to pay you for production lessons if need be.

Clear explanations, concrete visual illustrations, etc. The courses of your online school must have an over the top usefulness. I love the telling name of your KZbin channel. No need to be a superstar musician, producer or a millionaire to love and play electronic music.

My Synthesizer obsession started with a Korg MS10 at 11 years old in middle school music classes (1981). Amazingly by an interesting turn of events and coincidences 24 years later in 2005 I actually became the owner of that very same Synth from my old school. It was just about to be thrown away in a skip, still in fair working order, but in need of a good cleanout, new CMOS Chip and re-calibration. I got it for no money at all! I stripped it down for cleaning and then sent it to Korg UK for the technical repairs. Still looking and working good as new now in 2021. I cannot describe how wonderful it felt to be reunited and the owner of my first love after all those years ❤️ These days I’m a synth sound designer for the iOS platform but still love to tinker with my old MS10 and a few other remaining hardware synths.

Back in the day, I wanted a synth really badly. I scoured the local use market for something and a Yamaha DX21 with a Pevey keyboard amp/speaker popped up for under $200. Never heard of FM synthesis other than what my Sound Blaster board did in my computer...but boy did I bite off more than I could chew with that. Dumped right into the most complicated synth sound design system possible! I spend thousands of hours with that keyboard. Learned everything I could and saved up my money and was able to get used Yamaha DX7-FD. I also picked up an FB01 and with all my synths, I was able to get some amazing sounds...Then one day, I picked up a Korg. I was lost. I had no idea what any of those things meant on that keyboard. I still struggle with them. But this video really took it down to the very basics. Makes me want to go into my closet and bring that Korg out into the light of day and try some of these things!

Holy hell, I've watched a couple of your videos and they give me a feeling close to that of understanding entirely a certain math concept, for instance. Just because music is powerfully diverse doesn't mean that you can't teach it right by precisely defining patterns and giving ways to orient yourself in what seems at first like an extremely complex environment that only the gifted or the most advantaged would comprehend. Aside from electronic music, I am an aspiring math teacher and I think the way you are teaching music falls very close to the one I want to teach math. Thank you, sir. Sincerely.

When you talked about the ‘VCO, VCF & VCA’s the first two Letters ‘VC’ used to confuse the heck out of me, until you pointed out ‘Oscillator’ which is the Sound Generator, the F for Filter and A for Amplifier. ‘VC’ stands for ‘Voltage-Controlled’. Alot of Developers & Manufacturers of synths frequently forget I think about people who are completely new to Basic Synthesizer Concepts. The way their products are marketed can be confusing too….. at least it was to me a little while ago! These days I am playing with ‘Phaseplant’ from Kiloheartz, Serum & Massive, Massive X from Native Instruments and know their workflows & basics well now. I’m not an advanced sound designer, but at least I know the fundamentals, even FM Synthesis!

@@OscarUnderdog could you ever do more videos like your breakdown of Kaast hell on earth, that is in my top 10 techno tracks of all time and was amazing to see you teach us how it was made, could you do TRUDGE ctpactb? That’s my number 1 favourite of all time!!

You are a humble, intelligent and gifted teacher… I have adored 80s synth music such as Japan and Eno and have daydreamed about a Prophet 10 for years. Might need to just dive in with your guidance! ✨✨✨

Your method of explaining and educating is so satisfyingly to-the-point and trimmed of all excess fat - yet without losing a friendly tone and pleasant pacing. I thought I knew my way around the knobs and wheels, but I retained more actual knowledge from this single video than I've managed to amass from the - sampling, if you will - of a plethora of sources of information both in books and online. Thank you kindly for this, keep bottling that choice electronic sonic tonic.

Thanks for this. Just spent all morning looking at cheap starter analogue synths, but I'm going to take your lesson and muck about with some Logic Pro synths and my midi keyboard. You've really opened it up for me.

You're ALSOOOOOOME. Been in music production for almost a 7 years ago and never been interested to this type of videos since I use presets and samples only but once I watched your videos, things changed and I learned a lot. There's a lot of youtubers doing a good job showing synths and synthesis like Loopop, Andrew Huang, Cuckoo, Bobeats, ... but it didn't captivate my attention deficit ! Tell us how we can support you. Peace
