DEXED Yamaha DX-7 Emulation
For higher quality (free) videos please visit Sormena.org.
I would have to say that my all time favorite freeware synthesizer is DEXED. DEXED is an incredibly accurate emulation of the Yamaha DX-7 (it can also be used as a preset editor for the real thing if you have one). To be 100% honest I am terrible at programing this thing. However, what I love are all the free on board cartridges and presets from the original DX-7. This software synth is about as close as you’ll get to owning the real thing without the hassle and headache of actually owning one (trying to program it). Have some fun exploring the presets and cartridges. I guarantee you’ll stumble across some classic sounds from the p...

FM Synthesis Wrap Up
Просмотров 3026 лет назад
For higher quality (free) videos please visit Sormena.org. That does it for frequency/phase modulation synthesis. While I do believe working with FM presets will normally get you better results than working from scratch I highly encourage you to experiment with FM in your subtractive (analog) synths. It’s a very unique sound few people take advantage of regularly. At the very least I hope you n...
Using DX-7 Algorithims (Matrixes) in FM-8
Просмотров 6846 лет назад
For higher quality (free) videos please visit Sormena.org. As we just saw in DEXED, the mod matrix algorithm you choose is chiefly responsible for determining the final sound in a DX-7 (FM) patch. For me, and a lot of people, just starting from scratch in a frequency modulation synth is very difficult. Luckily there is a great solution. You can search for the DX-7 mod matrix algorithm chart onl...
Hybrid Synthesis Methods in FM-8
Просмотров 3876 лет назад
For higher quality (free) videos please visit Sormena.org. The thing I love about FM-8 is that you can take what we looked at in the last lesson and combine it with classic FM techniques. In this way you can get the best of both worlds. By using subtractive techniques, a little frequency modulation, and some of the on board FX you can make some really modern sounds. That’s exactly what people l...

FM Functionality in Analog Synths
Просмотров 5796 лет назад
For higher quality (free) videos please visit Sormena.org. The idea for a synthesis method based on frequency modulation has been around since the modular days. But before it became a method in it’s own right (with the Yamaha DX-7) many people had already been experimenting with analog FM. Perfect oscillator tuning (digital) is required FM to work as a method but as a special effect it works qu...
Frequncy Modulation , Subtractive, and Additive Synthesis in FM8
Просмотров 6756 лет назад
For higher quality (free) videos please visit Sormena.org. Traditionally sine waves are the only waveshapes available in the oscillator section of an FM synth. By applying FM to these sine waves you can still generate incredibly rich and dense sounds. However, inside of FM-8 you’ll see that you have a variety of wave shapes to choose from for each oscillator. Suddenly you now have a few choices...
Frequency Modulation (FM) Presentation

For higher quality (free) videos please visit Sormena.org. Of all our synthesis methods frequency modulation will, unfortunately, have to remain the most theoretical. Programing an FM synth from scratch with the goal of emulating a real world acoustic instrument is incredibly difficult. There are literally only a handful of people who can do it well. That being said, anyone can make interesting...
Subtractive Synths - Comparing Interfaces (Ease of Use)
Просмотров 1506 лет назад
For higher quality (free) videos please visit Sormena.org. Sound is king but there’s something to be said about usability and practicality. Whether picking a DAW or picking a synth the interface does matter. With synthesizers especially you want to buy an instrument that sounds good but also inspires you to get creative. Interface can be a big part of that spark. For example if you know you’re ...

Subtractive Synths - Comparing Modulation Options

For higher quality (free) videos please visit Sormena.org. Usually modulation options in subtractive synthesizers have more to do with ease of use than it does with sound shaping capabilities but that’s not always the case.

For higher quality (free) videos please visit Sormena.org. The filter section is ultimately responsible for shaping the sound (the oscillators) in the most significant way.

    Why would you visit a website and log in, to download a sample of a square wave, when you could just create that same square wave using some stock synthesizer? This is what makes videos about music making, so confusing. The decision making, that leads you to download this sample, when it has nothing obvious special to it, that would justify going this extra path to end up with some square wave. I mean you even encounter the issue of the DAW stretching the audio in an unwanted way. What does this sample have, that justifies, going ALL this length???? I guess the answer is nothing, but then why not just pop in a synthesizer, set it to square and youre done??? Even if this was about resampling a square wave, we could still produce the initial samples ourselves. And lets not forget, that most stock samples also have basic samples of squares, sines, etc. in their stock presets. If you want to make a good educational movie, you have to remove anything irrelevant and focus on the stuff that matters **only**. Does it matter where **any** sample comes from, when you want to show the capabilities of a sampler? Certainly not - even if that sample has something to it that would justify downloading it from a website. So just assume an existing sample and get straight into what your videos is actually about.

    Question: How is this granular synthesis if it doesn't treat the grain as an oscillator? I know - in audio terminology "oscillator" tends to just mean "sound source", but what about actually using it as a literal oscillator - a periodic fluctuator? This seems to function just as a sampler (with some cool modulation, which good samplers also have). I want to use a single cycle waveform to create a patch. Can Absynth not do this?

    I’ve become pretty obsessed with no - hit wonder obscure bands of the mid 60s, mainly North American bands who were trying to be The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, etc. Typically from small towns but of course also metros lol. Any niche of a genre has plenty of duds, but the good examples of this are really raw and wild-sounding, like, EVEN BETTER than 70s punk rock, which is where I come from, lol. Googling the subject of what a typical mom and pop studio in Burfurd, Nebraska, the types of studios these bands used, I’m curious about what tape machines, what mixers, what mics, what outboard gear etc one would typically find in the studio where Booger and The Mugwumps (fictional for effect lol) of Grudsville, TX recorded their rude and crude, rebellious 2-chord songs. This specific info is weirdly elusive. I figured if anyone knew more details re this than I seem to be able to uncover online, it would be you. Thx tons, should you bother to respond, lol. Great post. I can’t get enough of this kind of stuff; good one.

    I dont think its necessarily that we will never be satisfied with the quality, we just obviously compare it to our ear which is really high definition recording device. When we reach that point in recording where its either recorded and played out in a lot more definition by technology we (or perhaps future ai) builds or somehow we record directly what we hear (I dont know how you would do that but I dont see how that would be impossible) and until then we wont be satisfied, but my theory is that its not impossible to record and play back things in our heads, make a computer that works like us.

    I cringe when i see people having sidechain conpressing at 100% the quickist way to destroy your good dynamics plus you can hear, it.... 83%wet is my go to then id adjust depending on which compressor im using, Molot is about 93% l, Molot is very good and is supposed to a bus/mastering compressor snd you want the colour, cleaner glue compressors are horrible at 100%, you can litterary hear when it compresses and cos there is not saturation your losing too much of tour dynamics and saturation adds dynamics! Songs with little dynamics sound crap and powerless. Dynamics= snap crackle and pop which gives your tracks so much more punch and power, stop making lound songs and start making great sounding tracks.

    I knew how I came across this video. We have to clarify what kind: classical (church/cathedral), or theater (the precursor to the electric/electronic ones). In this case...the video's title speaks for itself. Additive synthesis = electric organ. The same nastiness is behind the sound, but the sound is buried in effects. Only the in its original form, were electric organs able to achieve (traditional) sounds. The rotary speaker ruined everything, when it was introduced in 1941. You went from Toccatas to "O Sole A Mio" or "Oh Happy Day."

    Usually, a decent sampler will have a zero point function so that you don't have to annoyingly zoom and and find it. For example, Cubase's sampler track, you can enable the zero point crossing button, which makes it so easy to create loop points. I was thinking about buying this VST, but not sure now.

    The LP and the 45 were designed to replace 78s. The 45, developed by RCA, could be sold either individually or as part of a multidisk set in a binder, called an album (just like 78s). However the 45 was smaller and more rugged than a 78. One new feature of the 45, facilitated by the large center hole, was the automatic disk changer, which allowed you to stack several 45s on the player so that they would play without intervention. RCA said "now you can listen to an entire album of 45s in whatever order you prefer." Meanwhile, Columbia's replacement for 78s was the LP. With the LP, you could get an entire album on one disk. Not to be outdone by RCA, Columbia made an automatic LP changer which had a clamping arm to keep the stack of small-center-hole-disks stacked on the changer spindle.. Before long the familiar marketing of using 45s for single releases and LPs for album releases emerged, at which point both manufacturers started producing both 45s and LPs.

      Jack Mullen brought Magnetophon recorders and reels of tape back from Germany with the intent of interesting an American company to commercialize the technology. He found a company in Redwood City, run by a Russian immigrant, who was in the business of building fractional horsepower electric motors. However, they needed money, which is where Bing Crosby came in. He commissioned the first Ampex tape machines. He took one to his friend Les Paul, who ended up ordering more Ampex machines. Ampex was not the only company interested in tape, there were Magnecord and Crown.
