The preview
video
below is the first 4 1/2 minutes of the video. It explains the basic
concept behind additive synthesis, and
demonstrates the perfect lack of aliasing in the resulting waveforms:
The full
tutorial
runs for 30 minutes and covers all aspects of the user interface, using
spectrum analysis where appropriate to show the patterns of partials.
- Basic pitch modulation / Glide / Amp envelope
functions.
- Choosing and modifying basic waveforms.
- Manipulating partial volumes and pitches using
Pattern Masks
- The Brightness section, and its modulation
options.
- The Periodic Filter section and its modulation
options.
- Spectrum B and Note-Off triggering.
The music featured in the intro and outro sections was created using 16
instances of Lazerbass and no other synths. (I couldn't resist adding
the drum loop, as it fitted so well!) The tutorial includes a bank of
snapshots with all the sounds I used.
