Understanding synth parameters is crucial for creating your own sounds
LearningImagine if you could break free from the limitations of synthesizer presets and create your own custom sounds to fit your music. The first step towards that goal is to understand the standard synth p…
Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 30
LearningDear friends, the time has come to say goodbye, at least regarding this article series. This last article is a sort of summary of what we've seen throughout the series, which I hope has been useful.
Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 29
LearningIn the previous article we discovered two amazing instruments, the Ondes Martenot and the Ondioline. In this, the second-to-last installment of this series, I invite you to discover two even more ama…
Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 28
LearningAs I mentioned in the previous article, I want to end this series by reviewing some rather extraordinary instruments.
Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 27
LearningGraphic and stochastic synthesis are not very widely used and, yet, they are quite interesting. Let's see why...
Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 26
LearningThis time around, I invite you to discover two unusual forms of sound synthesis: Formant and linear arithmetic synthesis.
Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 25
LearningWe are slowly coming to the end of this series!
Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 24
LearningToday we'll finish reviewing the different types of physical modeling synthesis and move on to how it has been implemented.
Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 23
LearningAfter having explored synthesis methods that have opened the doors to the most extravagant worlds of sound, today I invite you to tread a more conventional path: The artificial reproduction of well-k…
Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 22
LearningIn the previous article you learned that FM synthesis allows the creation of harmonically rich sounds. Today we'll see what that means in terms of frequency spectrum....
Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 21
LearningIn the fifteenth article of this series, I briefly mentioned FM while introducing the different forms of synthesis. Now, the time has finally come to discuss it, but before we do that I must first ta…
Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 20
LearningIn the previous article we introduced the concept of granular synthesis. Today we'll take a look at the different applications for it.
Sound Synthesis - Part 19
LearningIn the two previous articles we looked at the principle behind sample-based synthesis. Among other things, this allowed us to establish that, thanks to digital technology, the frontiers between the d…
Sound synthesis - Part 18
LearningIn this installment we'll study wavetables and sample banks.
Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 17
LearningSome people might think its weird to see sampling considered as a type of synthesis. Indeed, throughout this series of articles, I've been telling you all the time about the creation of sounds "from …
