No matter what the haters down here have to say, this is some top quality content mate, both enjoyable and very informative. Your teaching style really resonates with me even after 15 years of fiddling with audio!

[@OwenTheGeek]

@@polaria.coronel-gt2762 thanks, that's a very kind comment. I'm not in the least bit bothered about haters, though! 😂 Some of them will come round, some of them are hopeless. Not my fault, not my responsibility. I'm here for the ones that get it 👌

I have been looking for this exact sounding Reese. Have made loads of Reeses with the sawtooth and variants and followed your previous vid of 5 years ago or something. But this one hits the spot! Already creating a tune with this! Thx a lot. This made my day (week even!).

[@OwenTheGeek]

Excellent! Look out for the follow up video this weekend, where I'll go into much more depth. There's way more to share for reese design! 🙌

[@MrzodiacBE]

@@OwenTheGeek Awesome! Would be cool to see if it works on A Hydrasynth (sinci I own one). Been trying to get that wave form but no luck for now.

[@Ezi83]

Remarc - Thunderclap, what a tune! Thanks for the tutorial. I followed along in Vital and got a nice result.

[@OwenTheGeek]

@@Ezi83 Indeed. Maximum respect to the Remarc, every time 🔥

Well there's worse tunes to have stuck in your head 😅👌

[@AkashGamana]

Thank you!

[@OwenTheGeek]

Appreciated 🙌

[@omunitTV]

Excellent Also in serum once you have the lovely Reese going with that oscillator you can also edit the spectral bins, remove the fundamental and replace with the sub oscillator as a solid mono fundamental that gives you a non-oscillating or “beating” fundamental for a more stable sub frequency

[@OwenTheGeek]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Of course - I went over all that and more HERE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5rKfIKfltSJoKM

Bless you. Check the Q & A session: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5rKfIKfltSJoKM

[@valkata1997]

Don't usually comment much, but the wavetables are amazing, thank you :) The Yam wavetable is for real so clean and deep sounding. I tried myself to replicate the shape in serum with a basic sine and the "bend -" warp mode and also with the wavetable editor adding some harmonics and I got close and similar results, but the Yam Table is better and probably the best I've heard! Great Job

[@OwenTheGeek]

Amazing, I'm glad you appreciate it. Those wavetables were deceptively difficult to produce. Many technical hurdles along the way. Worth it in the end! 🙏

[@markorichardson5009]

Great video, I can start to feel the mysteries of FM to open up to me after watching your videos, cant wait for the next one 😀

[@magneticrev]

Seems like all of my favourite sounds come from same source which is TX81Z, I've bought one from Japan lately in mint condition. It even boots with cute Good Morning yamaha message from 87. Gonna try to do the same on the Yamaha itself and see the results. Cheers for intel : ) doing gods work Owen!

[@OwenTheGeek]

@@magneticrev Yeah, it sounds good. I have one too. Excellent synth!

[@markorichardson5009]

Nice synth 👌🏼

[@mej6519]

Hi owen. Iv been on the search for kevins sound. Bthelick came close using 2 sines in vital. But your exact lite tut is near as damit spot on. I did have a few issues with the envelopes in that synth but i think it more down to me never having used it. Anyways, if i need that proper old school kevin sound, iv got exact lite and your patch all ready to go. Cheers fella. Ps, i want that waveform on a tshirt :)

[@OwenTheGeek]

@@mej6519 Enjoy it! I think there's a list of even more interesting waveforms I'd sooner wear on a t-shirt... But then again, this one does belong on the list. Imagine wearing that and bumping into someone else wearing it. Actually, if I ever write a romance novel, it'll start exactly like that. 🤣 P.S. @Bthelick is one of my favourites!

[@mej6519]

@@OwenTheGeek there might be more interesting waveforms to put on a t-shirt, but they aren't classic Reese basses. And seeing as its a pretty simple shape, the print cost shouldn't be too much.

[@OwenTheGeek]

@@mej6519 some of them indeed ARE classic reese basses 😁

[@mej6519]

@@OwenTheGeek part2, more classic reese waveforms.

EDIT: Exakt Lite v2.0 is finally out, along with a new paid version of Exakt with more features Unfortunately the knobs on Exakt Lite are kinda broken on Apple Silicon. Sent an email to the creator and they said a completely rewritten version of the plugin will be released soon

[@OwenTheGeek]

Ah, that's a shame. I didn't know about that. You could definitely use another FM synth, though. 🙏

[@ARCHVILE_DRS]

​@OwenTheGeek well Exakt Lite 2.0 is finally here!

[@OwenTheGeek]

Amazing news, thank you 🙏

[@TonyCooMusic-m5c]

2 triangle wavetables, detune, distort ,filter, done.

[@OwenTheGeek]

You what mate?

[@DylanReed-zx6nv]

Serum (cuz I'm most familiar with it), generate sin and add next 3 harmonics. played with harmonics levels for less than 5 minutes and got this wave. Many ways to skin a cat indeed!

[@OwenTheGeek]

Yeah, I'm gonna demo this and more at the weekend. Well done! 👏 You're the only other person I've seen that's worked that out

[@djalpha2469]

How can I get the wavetables from Reason Malstrom?

[@OwenTheGeek]

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you looking to import my wavetables into Malström?

[@FlavioDutra26]

[@OwenTheGeek]

🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@deadbeef2482]

bangin', way better than sampling Ray Keith😅

[@OwenTheGeek]

🙏 Depends what your goals are... I like the textures you get from sampling vinyl... But sure, there's way more flexibility doing it with synths

[@joni.sirvio8867]

why use wavetable when its basically same as sample?

[@OwenTheGeek]

@@joni.sirvio8867 because you can tweak a wavetable in ways you could never tweak the sample

[@audiosabre]

No need for FM. Using Serum, it's simply the first two harmonics.

[@OwenTheGeek]

That's not quite right, but I addressed that method on the Q & A session: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5rKfIKfltSJoKM

[@AuT0maTe1]

Lol cant believe that exakt lite synth has no polyphony options so its always just polyphonic which sucks also has no glide. I get that its free but those are some pretty basic options to have just at least let me make it mono please.

[@OwenTheGeek]

Don't use it then, pick another one. It's not like I didn't give you options. There are many other free FM synths you could follow along with if you don't have a budget. What DAW are you using? Do you not have a 1st party FM synth?

[@AuT0maTe1]

@@OwenTheGeek lol of course I can use another one but thats not the point im making. I actually ended up using your waveform in vital I was just annoyed that exakt is another synth where they dont add the most basic options meaning i might as well uninstall it which is a shame. I use Reason so my free main FM option is thor which is fantastic but works differently from these other FM synths.

[@OwenTheGeek]

@@AuT0maTe1 Fair enough 😆 Vital is a great option for rockin the wavetable 👌

[@OwenTheGeek]

@@AuT0maTe1 P.S. You could just..... play one note at a time in ExaktLite, that's what I did for the video. Seems to sound okay to me. 🤷‍♀ I know it's not glide... but still, I wouldn't uninstall it over that. EVERY synth has silly little flaws, even the expensive ones.

[@AuT0maTe1]

@@OwenTheGeek Sure I could but I might as well just use a synth that has better options I imagine this will just be another plugin that gather's digital dust on my hardrive lol. All it needs is the option for mono retrig/legato and it will be great doesn't need glide but that would be nice to.

[@buckstarchaser2376]

Says skills are more important than tools throughout this video, while the video is simply an advertisement for a tool and wavetable that he's demoing that avoids any need for skill.

[@OwenTheGeek]

Nah. There's no tool or wavetable being advertised. The wavetables are an optional free download. The point is when you have the skills, there are many ways (not just one) to skin the cat, as repeatedly demonstrated. You don't need to use the wavetable OR any of the same tools as me in order to follow along and get the sound. 👍

[@buckstarchaser2376]

​ @OwenTheGeek Thanks for clarifying. Yes, I noticed the section where you stated the technical method of producing the waveform over a few seconds, so you *technically* said the definition of the Reese Wave. In its entirety, this video implies that the textbook definition of the Reese, and its abundant commonality is the secret, and your affiliated products are the videos only content. Without the filters used to make Reeses, Jimi Hendrix has very little to add to music history, because he would have sounded like the other musicians he essentially sold this product to (and other artists to their respective genres). This sales ploy culminated in the suggestion to download your wavetable so that one would not need to learn, nor practice this skill. In actuality, the "Rare Zero Phase Filter" you're talking about is called an "All-Pass" filter, because it uses phase manipulation to perform the filtration on unwanted frequencies instead of tuned amplification. The frequencies that are maintained at zero phase delta are in the pass band, and the ideal circuit should not have other phasing artifacts from LCR-based filters. This is shown in the swept version of the green trace in your thumbnail. The old-as-dirt Moog Ladder Filter is an example of this "rare" design, and was in products as early as the 1960s. This feature is desirable in any tunable phaser derivative, and so they are quite abundant. Declaring them rare is as disingenuous as your "Tools vs Skills" chant for pushing your redundant tools.

[@OwenTheGeek]

WTF are you actually talking about? There are NO affiliate products. I don't do affiliate links, never have. 😂 Moog ladder filters are minimum phase, not zero phase. I didn't use all pass filters. You're just confused all round. Nothing remotely disingenuous in my video. Kindly jog on. 🤣👍

[@buckstarchaser2376]

@@OwenTheGeek I said affiliated links, which are in your video description, and you state in the video that they are in your description. You are talking about something else. Moog filters are "minimum" only in that nothing real is perfect. You are talking about a software facsimile, which is also not perfect in its implementation. It is a "minimum phase filter" as you seem to be entirely confused about. I see that your series of self-serving errors may be the result of gross incompetence, but that doesn't really instill confidence in your recommendations.

[@OwenTheGeek]

@@buckstarchaser2376 you're a special kind of silly sausage, aren't you? 😂 There are no "affiliated links". Moog ladder filters ARE minimal phase. The bandpass filter I demonstrated in the video is not. What is it that irked you in the first place? Were you offended by the suggestion that skills are more important than tools? 🤔
