There is a sample sine wave and a square wave to go along with this lesson available on the site. It comes directly from my synthesizer and it’s for loading into your audio editor of choice. Once downloaded and inserted into your audio editor of choice, stretch the track view and look at the drawn waveform. Does it look familiar? It should!
Synthesizer programming is something that’s often strayed away from due to all of those big, fancy words. Sometimes, something like a Low Frequency Oscillator seems so incredibly frightening that we don’t even attempt to try and learn synthesizer programming. I want to tell you that it’s MUCH more easy than you’ve ever imagined, and I’m here to show you how and why.
Synth programming is very simple. It basically starts with a wave, or a shape. We call them waveforms. The most common types of these shapes, waves, or ‘waveforms’ are below:
(in no particular order)
Sine
Triangle
Square
Pulse
Sawtooth (Saw)
Noise
There are many more shapes, but we’ll save that for another time. We have what we call an oscillator, and this oscillator generates one of the aforementioned waveforms. It then goes into what’s called a filter, which is where the basic subtractive synthesis takes place. Subtractive synthesis is the most common type of synthesis. Basically, you ‘take out’ (subtract) what you don’t want from the original waveform and it produces the desired timbre. It is then run into the amplifier which is simply volume.
Oscillator – Filter – Amplifier
This is the order in which synthesis takes place. Congrats. You now know more than most about synth programming just from these little tidbits of information.

Yep.
Yep.
can you edit every …
can you edit every sound on a synth like this … can you use oscillators on every synth ,,including the korg tr 61
What is the next …
What is the next part called?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Hell yeah, just the …
yeah, just the kind of video and channel I was looking for!
it’s not software …
it’s not software programming
just synthesizer programming
Thanks mate !!!! …
Thanks mate !!!! finally got th grasp of Synths,, Good instructional Video ,,
Cheers,

lmao big blog of …
lmao big blog of crap lmfao hahahahah this tutorial was amazing i would pay for u to teach me lol
Good tutorial, but …
Good tutorial, but you drew the triangle wave wrong
THANK YOU!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!
might be easy just …
might be easy just rip off some csound stuff and wrap it up using the vst API. I would imagine that csound has influenced many software plugins and many hardware digital effects units and synthesizers. Sythesizer programming is an art, oscillators, filters, fx and other goodies are you pallette, connections (physical with wires, logical with chips or virtual with softwar) and the speakers are your canvas
thanks,very nice …
thanks,very nice lesson!
keep em coming!
thanks man this is …
thanks man this is exactly the sort of thing i’ve been looking for but havent been finding keep em coming
cheers
nice korg x50… i …
nice korg x50… i bought that kind too… this video helped me a lot thx
lawl!
lawl!
I doubt that …
I doubt that programming a vst is simple! n ur not talking about programmation at all btw vsts r made in c++, c
Great stuff, man! …
