50 Modular Frequency Modulation Basics

YouTube via 7thDanSound | Feb 28, 2011 |

"I planned to make a massive FM patch to see how cool that would be. I studied up on Gordon Reids fantastic Synth Secret series in SOS and happily went along. The patch didn't quite turn out as I had planned however and instead of being a bit FM thing it turned out a somewhat modulated sound playing a nice little arpeggiated melody. I like it a lot and I think it shows a bit of the basics of frequency modulation with a modular synth."

"Zeroscillator and rhythm track. No VCF, no VCA, no processing of any kind- Zeroscillator straight into A/D."

March Acid Pattern

via dylan: "The March Acid Pattern is by King Mental.

March acid pattern. see what i see..303 by 'King mental You can grab the pattern data from here The pattern can then be programmed into your tb303 or x0x box to create a new track. The pattern could be programmed into your vst such as ABL or Phoscoyn to create a new track. Transcribe the pattern to midi and send it to your favourite synth to create a new track. Grab the audio file and rework the audio into a new track Then post your finished track or jam into the acid pattern group You can grab this empty pattern sheet from here cheers, dylan"

"Vintage Korg MS-20 and SQ-10 Sequencer. with a homemade breakout box that lets you program the SQ10 in a sort of 808 groovebox sort of fashion."

This one spotted by Kerry.

M4L : Build a MIDI Synth in 1 minute! Pt 1 :

Learn to make your own Max for Ableton live synths!

YouTube via eameres2 | Feb 28, 2011 |

"Yes, it's basic, monophonic, and limited to sin waves, but I challenge you to create a velocity sensitive synth in less than 1 minute with fewer max objects!

I'm going to add features in future tutorials, including polyphony, other waveforms, filters, envelopes and much more, so subscribe and tune in! Will include modulation for that dubstep/DNB wobble of course!"

M4L : One minute synth Pt 2 : the ADSR~ envelope : Learning Max for Ableton live tutorial

Uploaded by eameres2 on Mar 2, 2011

"Second Part of our "one minute max" tutorials. Today we add an ADSR (Attack Decay Sustain Release" envelope to our mono-synth. This allows you to control the basic timing of the sound. Short attack and long decay/release for a bell like tone, full sustain and no release for a flute/organ like tone, etc.

I was able to get the bulk of the work done in under a minute, but I took a some extra time to explain things and label our new synths parameters. I don't want to short-change anyone!

Note that the first argument of the ADSR~ object is the trigger, and it preserves the velocity sensitivity "feature" we have going! The envelope varies from 0.0 to 1.0 so multiplying it against our signal is what gives our sound "shape".

Subscribe and tune in 2 days or so, we'll be adding a basic filter and eventually be adding polyphony! And of course useful dubstep and DNB effects!"
