Let's look at the fundamental principles that all synthesizers use, no matter if they're digital or analog or whatever. They all use this framework, and you can use it to shape your sounds to your taste!

This 'intro' to subtractive synth is better than almost all of the YT videos claiming to be 'advanced'. I've been doing production for 30 odd years and rarely do I see YT videos that make me genuinely listen. Your approach to this whole thing is fantastic - if I was a newbie I would 100% be paying for your courses.

Most of this is review for me at this point, but you covered in under 20 mins what it has taken me MONTHS to wrap my head around! I'm still a newb for sure, but I wish I had been able to see this presentation before I even started getting into synths. I'll be looking into more of your content for my continuing education for sure!

Amazing video. How does the Filter's envelope works? So if you wanted to go from dark to light and to dark again, what Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release do you need?

@jonathanroseii905 Жыл бұрын

start with filter at a more closed position have it open on Attack portion, as it reaches the top it will become brighter. On the decay portion it will close the filter and become darker. You can sustain your tone by effecting the sustain level, on the release portion it will close back down to the original position.

Really appreciate your simplified version of this! Im curious to ask have you had any experience using Arturia Pigments? I recently purchased it as a plug in for my DAW I'm using Ableton live 11 and everything you said in your presentation I can comprehend but Pigments seems to be a bit more complexed then what I had anticipated.
