    I like these basic instructional videos. I have a Moog Grandmother and although it is fun to play with, I want to have a deeper understanding of it. Videos like this help a lot. Best regards

    This is an important concept to understand. GREAT that you elaborate on that in an understandable fashion 👍 I know Daniel has a Hydra at home ;) It is only the most powerful digi synth on the market at the moment. Whether you enjoy the sound or not is entirely personal. Thanks Sweetwater

      I only have the OP-1. A very used one. I would like a Virus C or the Hydra. Just getting into trying to make lo-fi dark minimalist music in the vein of [Haus Arafna].

    So if I'm wrapping my head around just what exactly an oscillator is correctly... it's an electro-wiggle generator. It is something that can be made to "wiggle"/oscillate fast enough that it starts to create a sound when wiggling faster than 20 complete wiggles per second.

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  Рік тому +1

      Hi Christopher. Yup. The remaining steps are to use amplifiers to make the wiggle powerful enough to move speakers that move the air, which then moves the cochlear hairs inside your ears.

      Hi The Machines Won. You thought correctly. The last two episodes of Synth Clips are on FM and there's another FM episode in the works right now.
