FM Synthesis Explored

FANTASTiC | 02 May 2020 | 395 MB

Do you think FM synthesis is too complex and confusing to use? You won’t anymore after watching this course by artist and trainer. Add FM synthesis to your sound designer’s toolkit now! FM (Frequency Modulation) synthesis always had a reputation of being challenging to program, but once you learn it, it’s a very rewarding synthesis method for sound designers and musicians. The most popular hardware FM synth is the vintage Yamaha DX7, but nowadays FM is available in a variety of software instruments. Thankfully it’s much easier to program on a big computer screen than on a tiny DX7 16 x 2 LCD display! With its soft synth shootout approach, this course explores the creative possibilities offered by FM synthesis. FM synthesis is very different from more traditional synthesis methods, so that’s why Rishabh starts the course by diving into some important FM synthesis theory. Operators, carriers and modulators are clearly demonstrated using Reaktor Blocks.
