FM Synth Programming with Digitone Livestream Tutorial & Q+A

Published on Apr 14, 2020 Perfect Circuit

"We will be going over FM synthesis programming concepts that apply to all FM synths and applying them specifically to the Elektron Digitone. Watch if you are curious about how FM works and how to program FM synthesizer sounds, or if you have a Digitone and want to learn more about how its synthesis works. The Digitone also has some unique features that most FM synthesizers don't have for shaping sounds. Frequency modulation synthesis or FM often feels complicated but if looked at from the right perspective it can be more easily understood."

iOS Synth app - TAL-U-NO-LX - amazing analog synthesizer Juno emulator sounds and modulation

Published on Apr 14, 2020 Expanding Sound

"There's a lot of great iOS synth apps out there, from the Model 15 to Nave and countless others. This one has easily made my top 10. It sounds fantastic. The filter does a fantastic job of emulating the Juno filters character, the chorus settings open up the synth brilliantly, and the sub oscillator gives you that low end you've come to expect from an analog synth. I'm kinda blown away by this one. I think it sounds just as good as a JU-06. Maybe even better. I might have to test that. Anyway, enough convincing, check this one out."

Playing Around

"Wanted to record once more before I tear down and rebuild with some new modules. It rambles so I threw in some funny bits in the video. It was me and a friend doing a mad scientist routine for Halloween."

Novation: Patricia Wolf: Electric Energy, Creative Potential

"Patricia Wolf takes a two-stage approach to sound design. 'In one way, I focus on the technical aspects of it, especially when there’s new features on a synthesizer that I’m not so familiar with. So I’ll play around with that and really think about what it’s doing.' Then, once she’s familiar with her machines and their respective capabilities, she’ll free herself from thinking on a purely technical point of view and consider her machines as an ecosystem, playing in harmony. 'It’s nice to let go of that technicality and just think of it as a living, electric energy that you can morph and change and start feeling for its creative potential.'"
