FM Synthesis TUTORiAL

P2P | 27 December 2018 | 456 MB

The origins of FM Synthesis date back to the 1970’s. Frequency modulation is a type of synthesis that is heard in many genres of music including house, pop, dubstep, EDM, electronic music, and more. Popular synthesizers include the Yamaha DX7 keyboard and the software synth Native Instruments FM8 – both of which have been used by notable artists. This course is designed to teach those who may not be familiar or comfortable with synthesis about frequency modulation, and how it can be used as a method of synthesis to create very unique sounds and textures. We will start by making the connection between frequency and pitch, and then introduce the basic concept of frequency modulation by using an LFO to modulate the pitch of a sine wave. By increasing the speed of the modulation, the viewer will notice that it sounds less like the pitch is changing and more like the overall timbre is changing. Once this is understood, we will dive deeper into the Operator instrument in Ableton Live and discuss various ways we can take advantage of frequency modulation by utilizing the four operators, different routing algorithms, and different sources of modulation (LFO, Pitch Envelope, Filter Envelope). At the conclusion of this mini-course the viewer will be able to create unique sounds from scratch by utilizing FM synthesis.

for Beatmakers and Producers
This course stresses on the importance of being a beatmaker behind music theory knowledge When you’re a beatmaker, all you want to do is create amazing beats. But in your early years the main thing holding you back is your comprehension of chords, scales, and basic music theory fundamentals. In over my 10 years, I have not only discovered how chords and scales work, but I’ve found a really easy way to explain it, too. Put it this way, on your piano, you have 12 notes available to you, which repeat on each octave, right? Well, just because you have your 12 notes available, doesn’t mean you’re actually allowed to play all of those notes. This is where the key and scale come into play. My promise to you with this course is after watching it, you will gain such a concrete basis for understanding the notes available for you to play, how to count beats, and comprehend the major and minor chords to be creative with.
