GEOSynths Sound Design - Top Ten Tips - 1. Oscillator Blending

Published on Sep 26, 2019 GEOSynths

"This is important as the Goal of using multiple Oscillators is to create a new Waveshape from various others, the "Sum of its Parts" so to speak. You can create a variety of tonal changes over time, just by blending the Volume, changing the Shape and Pitch of the Oscillators, way before even using the Filter."

Fjossa | Novation Summit Ambient

Published on Sep 22, 2019 r beny

"Hello. I am back. Here is a video featuring the Novation Summit. A quick little improv session based around some patches I made for the Summit this summer.

In this video, I'm using the multi-patching capability to meld 2 patches together. At first playing 1 singular patch, then with a split between the patches on the keyboard, then with both patches layered.

These patches and the song were inspired by a trip I took to Iceland this summer. I was in awe of the many waterfalls I saw there, I wanted to create a patch that felt like sound was flowing and dramatic, with lots of movement and modulation.

I believe the patches will be released by Novation at some point."
