Sound, Music and Sound Design

After a quite long break – I apologise for that – my series about FM and PM synthesis continues. Workshop 4 is available now:

In column 1 of workshop 4 I introduce ImageLine´s FM/PM/RM synth “Sytrus”, compare it and its sounds to DEXED and talk about transfering data between DEXED, Sytrus, the DX7 and the Korg Volca FM.

In column 2 I talk about second order frequency/phase modulations, about modulating with waves others than sine waves.

And in column 3 I analyse an orchestral FM preset in Sytrus.
