so after knobs jeremy now steals loopop's style?! outrageous!

3 am is the best time to know about basic of subtractive synthesys

This is one of the most understandable explanations of envelopes and other synthesizer lingo that I have heard. Well done, sir.

Squarewave... the first two notes and I think ‘Zelda, yes, Zelda’ and then you play that tune. After a very stupid day in the office, you were the one who conjured today’s first smile on my face... THANKS!

do I know all of this? yes. am I glad it’s here? will I watch the shit out of it? will it be very amusing? YESYESYES

cat hair is an important synth component

I've been producing off and on for like 6 years and this explanation on subtractive synth blew my mind. I've always like.. kinda knew the different parameters did based on what I heard etc. but this was very informative. Thanks man!

You're an absolute god send for putting the oscilloscope in there, too.

This is honestly the greatest, most easy to understand guide I've seen on synthesis. Awesome job!

This is a great explainer for the basics of subtractive synthesis on a hardware synth. I will be linking to this anytime someone is looking for a tutorial at a measured pace. Well done as always, Jeremy.

I just got the PolyBrute. It’s so helpful having someone explain subtractive synthesis with a Mini Brute. Thank you!

This was amazing. It singlehandedly convinced me to look into buying one of the brute lines as an intro synth. Thank you so much!

dude, thank you for this video, I've been setting my eyes on the minibrute 2S and your approach of the different settings explains a lot to someone who's never touch a synth before

Finally I can stop randomly smashing my face into the synth to make sounds. Now I can do it purposefully.

I've been meaning to put out a video like this for ages because when I first started learning, I could not find this answer ANYWHERE. Every site I got to assumed I knew a bunch of stuff already. It's nice to see someone doing it right finally. I still may make my video, but I'll go deeper into shit like harmonics and the physics of it, to prime people for FM/PM and additive synthesis.

Almost three years later, I still like this and I still kinda want one.

Wow! I have a 2s and have learned more about it in the last 27 minutes than what I’ve done myself in the last 2 years. Thanks! 🙏

Thanks Jeremy, this is exactly what I needed to know! I had been wondering how to get started with building my own tones for a while, and your video really helped a lot.

I've probably missed the boat on this one, because I've arrived late to the party, but I really enjoyed this. A lot of YT channels focus just on the gear, so it's nice to see the fundamentals behind this stuff. With that in mind, it would be SUPER interesting to see how you incorporate gear like this into the larger creative process (with a DAW and/or other gear), because it would give some context (direction?) for the people who buy something like this and then get a bit dis-heartened when they spend a while playing with sounds, but don't come out the other end with something.

This is the quality content we came for. Thanks for putting it together!

Congrats on 200k subs! You deserve it with all the awesome stuff you make!

This is my first synth (arriving soon) and this is the first explainer that really got me excited about how synths work and sound, without resorting to reverb.

im getting started on synths and this was literally the most helpful, easiest to understand video ive seen yet

seriously great tutorial! Thanks for doing all the work! I know exactly how much went into this!

6:14, I see you with that Quiet Riot/Slade reference. One of my all time favorite songs. Appreciate it, RIP Frankie Banali and Kevin Dubrow.

So cool!! Love the oscilloscope visualization.

Great explanation, thank you for using your time to share this with us!

omg i was looking for this for ages!!!! thank you so much

I spent an entire day with it's designer Yves Usson last week playing some synth and especially this one !

Great walkthrough, delivered with your awesome energy as always! :D I really want to buy a minibrute 2 now xD

this is awesome! such a good synth to make a tutorial with. I have a microkorg and it requires a bit of menu digging so it's nice to see all the knobs and sliders out in the open.

Superb walkthrough 👏🏾

Great video! You always explain things so much better than everyone else.

This is super cool, you have a great approach at teaching. Learned some new things :)

I have been looking for something like this, thanks so much!

Great video! And congrats on 200k!

As someone that just got the 2s and learning about synthesis this was very helpful. Thanks

Wow! I love this demo! Good job!

Best video I've seen on the Arturia Minibrute 2.

That was exactly what I needed to understand this stuff. Thank you very much.

Red Means Cutoff

Excellent instructional video.

Channel is so dope from top to bottom

Great video man. 'Preciate ya! This is exactly what I needed.

This made so much sense. Thank you!

great vid, really fun

Great video 👌

I thank you for the oscilloscope. The only way I would understand and enjoy it.

Very cool video, makes me want to actually get a synth, since now I actually know something about how they work.

Thank you so much for explaining this so well and in a simple way :D

You should do more basic demos on some other synths. I'm acquinted with subtractive synth but the way you explained it helped me understand how the mini brute 2 is routed. If you have a mini Korg Minilogue you should do a demo one that! Love your stuff!

This is stupidly expensive here in Brazil, but goddamnit now I want one... Also, great tutorial! It's great to have stuff explained while they're happening.

Amazing, at last a practical, easy-to-understand, and well-produced tutorial on synthesis. More of these please. More of everything, actually.

how am i supposed to impress the ladies with my subtractive synthesis skills if now everyone else can learn it too :(

Hi This is Awesome, will try and share this with the rest of the SEM students in my class. Manchester (school of electronic music)

Love this, more tutorials like these please... I’m learning so much, also you defo need a cat face reveal 🐱

Beautifully explained 😎

omg THANK YOU for making me finally understand the controls of my synth VSTs.

I already knew most of this stuff but the pwm from lfo gave me some new ideas with my modular. Also, you can modify the pulse width of any waveform, it just works the best with square and saw.

Thanks a lot, very clear and helpful for a biginer

Love the photo of Nick Batt when talking about PWM.

After finally playing and now owning a MB2 I think it and the 2s version are 2 of the best mono synths ever created. Absolutely full of features with endless possibilities. And they look so amazingly utilitarian. That said, I feel like it doesn’t excel at being someone’s ONLY mono synth. There’s a few bread n butter sounds that it isn’t perfect for. I’m pairing mine with a Nyx 2 and they compliment each other perfectly.

Very good explanation...ty...like the PWM with Nick's pic

Ahh more of this stuff pleaseeeeee

Pretty dope. hooked on Red Means Recording ever since.

this is so good!

There is an interesting feature/issue with micro/mini brutes oscillator. When you're increasing wave type to the top, you will get not a pure wave, but slightly distorted one. And to get a "proper triangle" for example you need to set wave type slider to ~50% of the value. You can check it on oscilo easily.

Very helpful thanks! After messing with my 2S for a few hours, I was like, "Should probably learn something." ;+)

I like these breakdown

Ha! Love Nick's picture while discussing pwm!

What's funny is that all my training in the Navy helps me understand what you're talking about lmao

Thank you!

kudos for the nick batt photos !

Red Means Really Good Explainering

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Nice vid.

Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. That's all I have to say.

Squelchy sound is neat!

Really great videos for begginers

Hnnng I want one. Also your oscilloscopigram is pretty nice

Hey! Great vid as usual, and I'm really happy that you make tutorials about that kind of stuff, however I believe there's room for improvement. For example, the top right box which shows your signals in the temporal domain could have, at times, switched to the frequency domain. I don't expect you to give a full college course about Fourier transforms and signal theory, but I do believe seeing the spectrum of your sound is useful (if not essential) for a correct understanding of, for instance, filters, or synthesis in general. You kept mentioning that sounds were rich in frequencies, so showing the spectrum would have been a nice illustration. Anyway, besides that, your vid was amazing, just like the rest of your content!

wow is so magnific!!

Hey great video! Summed things up really consicely at a great speed! Ps. Video recomending hardware synths of different price brackets? (If you want, I'm not the boss of you. Make the videos that you want!! Tbh I'd watch any vid youd make haha) ♥♥♥

21:42 metallizer works on any audio, including all the other wave shapes, via the patch bay

Great video! Geez I'm glad I caught this. I don't like the new KZfaq video feed algorithm.

I liked when you touched the soft knob and made them beat against each other.

>says hi >hello is written on the table

Woooow.... This mindblowingly fuckin cool!!! :D as a total noob been rearching for a good ground up tutorial to all this how different waveforms sound and what parameters you can tweak and how does it look. This was exactly that! Thanks man!!! :D

I really enjoyed watching, although I knew it all. MB2 - monster

good boy! lol nice tutorial!

I also have a soft knob.

Love routing my adsr to pitch. Wonder how I could manage that output / input routing for a kinda brute factor on my modular...

the guy from sonic lab made a cameo appearance. around 18::50 . :). Good video

I am in love

Im deep into sin

Fantastic informative video. Maybe include a spectrum analyzer next time to help more visually display filter resonance

You're a good teacher

Cool video, but you got my like for the Zelda theme :D

Dangit Jeremy. This is KZfaq I don't come here to LEARN stuff!
