4 Operator Analog FM Synthesizer & FM Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- We had the Intellijel Rubicon 2 through-zero oscillators in, so we decided to build a ridiculous modular frequency modulation synthesizer with four of them. They are routed through a 4MS VCA Matrix for easier routing of FM “algorithms”. A Quadra and Make Noise Maths are used to generate envelopes and LFOs that can modulate FM amount. Since we had this synthesizer put together we decided to make a quick tutorial about how FM synthesis works.

Thanks. Analog FM has always been a curiosity of mine, ever since I realized all of the FM synths I had seen or heard of were digital.
I usually use software fm synthesis. The analog kit in the video looks cool.
Whatever that is between 25 seconds and 45 seconds is awesome!
FM is great for making these types of sounds, where a deep bass sine wave can have harmonics that are added by modulation without losing the bass frequencies.
Nice detail to show us a sine wave modulating your voice at 4:16
:D
my favorite fm trick is liking the video so much i click teh subscribe button twice in a row
love that oscilloscope module! thanks for explaining this, i was worried i was missing something in particular with FM synthesis
Great explanation & demo - thanks for posting this!
The Rubicon and Dixie combo is ace 👌🏽
Ah yes the cursed analog fm. Nice!
Sync your carrier to your modulator and mess with the pitch and index to create cool new waveforms.
We will have to try this out, thanks for the suggestion.
And it helps with pitch tracking
great demo, as always!
Thanks!
Mad synth module, looks like NASA designed.
"This system is designed with a voltage-controllable matrix mixer and four through-zero oscillators. This allows us to route any four-operator FM algorithm and control the FM index with envelope generators." Sometimes learning about modular synthesis feels like taking a graduate-level physics course (ugh)
As someone who dropped out of college (Computer Science major; realized I didn't want to do this for the rest of my life and really isn't my thing), reading this was a confidence booster considering terminology like this comes pretty naturally to me. Maybe I'm not as stupid as I've been lead to believe. I know this wasn't your intention in writing this, but thank you regardless.
Digital FM is an aberration. God saves the analog FM! (even if a little bit more expensive)
An analog FM synth trick I use is to use a non-resonating high pass filter to temper sounds.
Like high passing the modulator wave before it gets to the carrier?
@@ryanpwm No.
@@raspberry144mb3 lol, instead of just saying no, why don't you explain what you meant?
@@cornoc my thoughts exactly. Ohh but he couldn't be bothered with an explanation.
For what reason you use the 4MS VCA Matrix?
big ups
what are experiences on how the "intellijel rubicon 2" compares to the new "joranalogue generator 3"?
Pre-ordered a Rubi2. Stoked! Are those shipping soon?
We don't have an exact eta yet, but we know Intellijel is getting a batch of stuff ready to send to us soon.
Woohoo! Can't wait!
super nice video obviously but man, packing a whole system with complex fm in every aspect of the game only to do like 2 minutes of saying "how cool is this" without even trying to get into working the voice let alone patching it is a proper shame no less. love it nonetheless obviously ❤
how does the "intellijel rubicon 2" compare to the new "SSF ZPO"?
blue name it doesn’t really. The ZPO is kind of “faking” it, but not as strong as that statement sounds. Now the Generator 3 by jornalogue. That’s some real shit.
@@ryanpwm what's so shity with the "ZPO" and the "Generator3" that is not the "Rubicon2"?
blue name I meant to say that the generator 3 is amazing. American expression “that’s is the shit!” “Shortened from, that’s some cool shit” based on the American reference of stuff. Someone’s stuff can be “their shit.” Generate 3 is amazing. You can play just the harmonics lmao. It’s a game changer.
😅
Dude is trying to sound like he's a bad b-movie actor
