Subtractive Synthesis : Wave types and Oscillator


YouTube via HowAudioTV
"What is the role of an Oscillator in a synthesizer? What are the basic wave forms? What are frequencies? There are lots of questions when it comes to constructing and deconstructing the sounds generated by synthesizers. Taken from the HowAudio.com video tutorial Subtractive Synthesis, in this video clip David Alexander takes about the basic wave types and how they relate to oscillator of a synthesizer. For more information about this and other video tutorials, please visit www.HowAudio.com."

    Because this vid is just an excerpt, my comments may be irrelevant, but here they are:

    Who doesn't begin such a discussion with a sine wave? I thought that was weird. (Are harmonics and overtones explained earlier in the video?)

    I laughed at the clarinet comment because he was playing such a low note when he said it. Must be a doublebass clarinet. ;-)

    The PWM, in particular, sounded like crap. Probably the video codec's fault, though.
