Thanks for your comment, and for watching. My initial music experience was on piano; the range of possibilities that synths opened up to me was amazing. I hope you have the same experience growing your horizons from bass!
a lot of synth tutorials do the envelope and LFO at the same time after the filter and oscillator but i think you are right to do oscillator and envelope/amplifier first and do the filter with the LFO. its a more player focused approach.
Thanks for your comment, and for watching. My thinking is primarily that, when imagining a sound, I think about the core timbre (oscillators), then the loudness contour (Amp EG), then the brightness contour (filter EG), and then other movements (probably LFOs first, then other EGs next). I'm hoping that showing the elements of synthesis in that order, will help show how you can look at all your sound design through a similar lens (on any subtractive synth, and beyond).
@@ChalkWalkMusic yeah that makes sense. i kinda think the normal order people explain it is more from the perspective of "how does a synth work" like in an engineering context/framing but i think thats less musical/creative. its how i learned but i can see it had some shortcomings
Thank you for doing this series! I am a 66 year old bassplayer and trying to grap the concepts of a synthesizer. So far you,ve been a great help!!
