Synthesis Basics. Table of Contents Introduction This article is a (relatively) brief introduction to the principles of music synthesis.

Synthesis Basics

Each of the basic components of synthesizers are explained, along with descriptions and examples of how these components are chained together to make interesting sounds. The principles discussed are not unique to any specific synthesis platform, but are applicable to music synthesis in general. I hope this article will help interested musicians and composers access the academic tools and literature associated with electronic music. The text of this article is accompanied by illustrations, audio examples, and links to working demonstrations in PureData.

Sound waves and oscillators Sounds are pressure waves which travel through air, or another medium, to our ears. The first such device we'll consider is called an oscillator. Frequency and pitch Basic waveforms Sine Sawtooth. Waveform Ref. Analog Synth School. 1971 Robert (Bob) Moog created the legendary Minimoog.

Analog Synth School

It became a prototype to almost every synthesizer since then reffering to how they work, including the modern synth monsters of today. By understanding the basic concept of synthesizer programming it's easy to program and tweak synthesizer sounds. The different parts of the sound can be named different on different synthesizers but the basic concept is the same. The key concept is: The sound is generated from one or more oscillators. It gets its character (harsh, smooth etc) by filters and the sound amplified by amplifiers.

Electronic genererated sound source. Pros: Living and warm Cons: Often instable, that gives an instable pitch Later analog synthesizers had digital controlled oscillators: They are still analog but digital controlled.DCO, Digital Controlled Oscillator Pros: Stable, that given a stable pitchCons: Not as warm as an analog The note can be normal, or can glide between the notes, called glide or portamento 1. 2. The 40 greatest synth sounds. When our friends at Future Music magazine compiled a list of the 40 greatest synth sounds of all time in 2008, it was nothing if not controversial.

The 40 greatest synth sounds

Inevitably, some iconic tones failed to make the cut, but few would deny that the majority of the sounds that were included have attained classic status. Now, for the first time, we can present the full list complete with analysis, audio and advice on how to go about replicating many of these sounds yourself. Read on, be inspired and then go and create a great patch of your own.First up: Goldfrapp's Mellotron classic, Utopia... Our first sound is a much-loved preset. From the world’s first ‘sampler,’ no less. Utopia features the Mellotron sound ‘Choir 3’ in the chorus section and outro of the song, and is a huge exciting feature of the track. Listen: Goldfrapp - Utopia How to get the sound If you’re not in the mood for spending money, there are a few things you can try on your existing sample library to dirty them up, Mellotron style.
