SkillShare Synthesis 101 Ableton Live [TUTORiAL]

In this course you will learn the principles behind the most common forms of synthesis.­ Most of the content covered is transferable to other synthesizers so you'll be a synth ninja before you know it! if you are a beginner and are intimidated by all those knobs and controls on synthesisers, or if you have been making music for a while but want to be able to move beyond the presets and create your own sounds then this is the course for you ! There's also practical example patches demonstrating how you can design common types of sounds such as basses, leads and pads. So are you ready? Lets get into it! Project 1: Create a Bass Patch Based on what you have learned in Subtractive Synthesis videos create a bass patch. Your bass patch should contain the following parameters: A low octave tuning of the oscillators Some use of low pass filtering Some modulation of the filter's cut off frequency Project 2: Create a Lead Patch Based on what you have learned in Subtractive Synthesis videos create a lead patch. Your lead patch should contain the following parameters: A fast attack and release for the amplitude envelope A high sustain for the amplitude envelope Some harmonic modulation (e.g. an envelope modulating the oscillator's sync amount). Project 3: Create a Pad Patch Based on what you have learned in FM Synthesis videos create a pad patch. Your pad patch should contain the following parameters: A slow attack and release for the amplitude envelope Some modulation of the harmonic content (e.g. an LFO modulating the FM amount). Project 4: Create a Lead Patch Based on what you have learned in FM Synthesis videos create a lead patch. Your lead patch should contain the following parameters: A fast attack and release for the amplitude envelope A high sustain for the amplitude envelope Some harmonic modulation (e.g. an envelope modulating the FM amount).
