FM is a beast to get to grips with.. but here Matt lays down the foundations by giving us a bit of background history on the technology before covering all the most common parameters and functions of FM and finishing with some sound design examples. Using Ableton Live’s Operator, all of the learning outcomes and core concepts in this course can be easily applied to any modern FM synth such as FM8, FL’s Sytrus and even Logic’s basic EFM1 or Retro synths. Well explained and easy to understand, after this FM shouldn’t be that scary thing you shy away from anymore, but a major weapon you can now add to your production arsenal. Just check out the sound examples in the last video to see how powerful, deep and phat FM can be.
In his second outing on Sonic Academy, LA based sound designer and tutor Echo Sound Works takes us through the in’s and out’s of ‘DUNE 2’. This powerful yet efficient synth has a maximum reserve of 8320 oscillators at full polyphony, yes 8320 possible oscillators (holy moly)…making DUNE 2 is a true unison monster. It is also capable of creating wavetable and FM synthesis, has mountains of quality effects, filters and extensive modulation options. Also on board is a arp come sequencer and a graphical envelope, Synapse like to call Msegs.
This classes uses the same system I’ve used for years in my college courses for teaching sound design: Identify and master the 4 main pieces of any synthesizer, and you will be flying when you first approach any other unit in the future. This system keeps the technical jargon to a minimum and gets you making your own sounds quick.
Join sound designer Bluffmunkey as he breaks down subtractive synthesises to it’s component parts, showing you what makes subtractive synthesis unique, and how to get the most out of the synths you own. This is the perfect way to start truly understanding subtractive synthesis and sound design. Marry this with our fourth coming series on each of the major softsynths, new and unique sounds will now be only a few knob turns away. Covering everything from oscillator types, filters and envelopes to modulating your sounds using LFO’s and modulation envelopes, there’s nothing you won’t know about subtractive synthesis after this! Finally just to finish up we take 4 key elements – Drums, Bass, Leads, and pads and textures, with Bluffmunkey showing you how to go about constructing each of these sounds.
Presented by Ableton Certified Trainer Craig McCullough, this series of tutorials not only teaches you everything you need to know to take total control of the Operator synth within Ableton Live, you’ll also learn the fundamentals of synthesis too! Craig takes you on a epic journey teaching you the core concepts of synthesis and sound design such as the basics of pitch and sound, waveforms, harmonics and much more. He then dives into Operator’s envelopes, filters, LFO and other common synth controls for a complete understanding of synthesis that you can apply to any virtual or hardware based synth. If you want to take full advantage of all the advanced features and functions that Operator offers and or learn the core concepts of synthesis that you can apply to other synths, look no further.
