What will I learn?
Introduction to the Basic Synthesis Masterclass.
In this chapter, we’ll review the fundamental aspects of sound that are essential to understand synthesis. We’ll define pitch and timbre in terms of harmonic content, examine basic waveforms and introduce the concepts of envelopes and ADSR.
In this chapter, we’ll take a look at the main modules you’ll typically find in a synthesizer: oscillators, amplifiers, modulators and filters.
In this chapter, we’ll discuss various types of synthesis and demonstrate them by means of Ableton Live’s virtual instruments. We’ll examine additive, subtractive, frequency modulation, wavetable, physical modeling, granular and sample-based synthesis in devices such as Ableton Live’s Operator, Analog, Wavetable, Sampler, Granulator II and Electric.
