Introduction to Subtractive Synthesis

The Nature of Sound
0

To get things started, we will be looking deeply at the nature of musical sound as well as how it is created via the most classic of all sound languages – Analog, Subtractive Synthesis.
Subtractive Synthesis with the Ableton Analog
0

Here we take a deeper look into the advanced techniques of analog synthesis as they exist within the Ableton Analog instrument. Learn the techniques to evoke further complexity and controllability to your sounds with key tracking, detuning, oscillator sync, pulse width modulation, glide, unison, and more.

FM Synthesis with the FM8 and Operator
0

Now let’s apply what we know about oscillators, vibrations, and modulation to a more advanced sound design technique; FM Synthesis. Beginning with audio rate modulation and linear FM, then integrating digital technology to evoke bright, wild, metallic, and clangorous bass, percussion, and pads.

Wavetables

Wavetable Synthesis with Massive
0

Here we take a look at how to truly embrace the techniques of wavetable synthesis as it exists within the Native Instruments Massive device.
Custom Wavetable Designs with Zebra2
0

Here we transcend the world of preset wavetables and begin to design our own within the U-He Zebra2 Wavetable Synthesizer.

Signal Processing

The Dimensions of Signal Processing
0

Sound is 3D. Live’s Audio Signal Processors are designed to address and effect those dimensions with simplicity and effectiveness.
Series and Parallel Processing with Racks
0

The effects in Live are simple, yet highly effective when used in a modular fashion.
