    Thank you so much for this, it's taught me so much I wouldn't have learned so fast, and I'm a complete newbie to synths, really

      Thanks man. the channel is growing bit by bit. Baby steps they say, that is the way it works on YT, pressure and time :)

    Please do Pigments next. Btw I’ve shared your videos on Facebook Arturia group so hopefully you’ll get more traction to your channel

      Uhh, that is going to be the last one I will do about the Arturia synths.....Pigments is so so extensive. It's a lot of work But I will get there sooner or later.

    Notes for myself
    0:38 Osc 2 has a couple more things. Modulation points.
    Octave control. Semi. Fine.
    2:08 Waveforms. Copy to other oscillators.
    2:53 Other waveforms. Can modulate the Transwaves. Cannot modulate SQ80 Waveforms.
    3:42. Adjust width.
    Assign something.
    4:26 Waveforms with an X, you can modulate differently. Spectrl-X demo. And others with X.
    5:32 Hidden Waves. Demo of some of them. Demo of Waveforms you get with different pitches. Pair with another oscillator?
    7:37 SQ80 Hidden Waves. Demo of different pitches. Uncommon waveforms. Could use envelopes, LFOs and Mixer to make the waveform sound cool.
    Oscillator 2 and Sync
    8:32 Main difference with osc 2 is you can do SYNC. And can do AM.
    Osc 3 can't Sync.
    SYNC - frequency of osc 2 will be in sync with the osc 1. Master and slave osc. Demo separating waveform, Semi. Fine.
    10:08 Using modulation. LFO 1.
    10:34 AM - Amplitude Modulation. Needs a modulator to make a difference. Add modulation with LFO 1. Demo of AM.
    Select waveform, attach modulations, select level, that's it.
    Filter
    11:36 Res and Freq settings. Can't change filter type.
    12:48 Key tracking. Peak stays the same whatever note you play. With key tracking you can modulate the frequency with the values of the keys you play, demo. Turning Key up makes peak move with different notes played.
    14:49 Default patch. Modulation options with frequency and resonance. Modulate with Mod Mixer.
    LFOs
    15:30 LFOs are the same. LFO 3 does something by default. Select waveform. Hertz - fast or slow. Select Rate Type (Sync for subdivisions), 4 options. AMP - amount of modulation outputted.
    16:41 Example. Modulate Osc 1 with LFO 1. AMP level control demo. Have 2 controls because you could use the same LFO for different things. Modulating Osc 1 and Filter with LFO 1 demo.
    18:00 Rest, Human and Poly settings, demo of Reset.
    18:48 Default patch to do an example. Modulate Osc with LFO 1. Demo of no Reset with square.
    Human setting demo. Mixer-multiply reads what the LFO is spinning out.
    20:45 Poly setting. Playing a new key, everything moves from the same spot.
    22:29 Poly enabled, new voices will start from beginning. All voices have different LFOs.
    23:37 Default patch. Initial and Delay. Demo. Delay will delay the aggression of the modulation, until reaches full amplitude.
    25:59 The Initial decides what level of amplitude it starts at.
    SQ80 Envelope
    27:29 Default patch. Envs are pretty much the same. But Env 4 is tied to the AMP (synth volume).
    28:17 Env 1. 3 different Env types. First, SQ80 Env, a 4 stage env. Can adjust ADSR with numbers.
    30:05 Default template. Modulate filter with env 1, demo.
    31:04 The line - env is bipolar, negative values possible. Negative attack. Demo.
    31:45 Full cycle setting - makes it complete the cycle. Pressing multiple notes.
    33:40 V.Attack (velocity attack, hard - fast, soft - slow), demo.
    35:02 K.Decay (key) adjustment. Higher note faster, lower note slower.
    36:21 Linear.V level. Controlling the modulation aggression with your velocity. Linear or Exponential. Demo.
    Can copy envelope values to other envelopes.
    MSEG Envelope
    38:07 Create/draw your own envelope. Right click to delete nodes. Adjust curves, go to positives or negatives.
    39:52 Decide where the Sustain will be - double click. Point - select which point to adjust with numbers. Presets demo.
    41:11 Using a preset. Key Time - Higher note faster, lower note slower. Key Time aggression adjustment.
    42:17 Velocity setting, same as V.Level. Modulation aggression according to velocity.
    42:50 Rate control - how fast it all goes. Select MSEG Rate type. Useful for a more complex preset.
    43:33 Loop. Loop the envelope from the start to the Sustain point.
    44:33 Can offset it - select which part loops. Starts at the very start then gets stuck in the loop section.
    45:36 Explore with the wave forms. Change settings. Experiment and draw your own envelopes.
    DASDR Envelope
    45:56 Just an ASDR with a delay at the start. Modulate the filter with Env 1.
    47:05 Delay at the start. Delsy before the envelope starts.
    47:26 Key time. Lower note slower, higher note faster. Minus numbers make it happen the opposite way.
    48:50 Velocity. Soft - low modulation, hard - high modulation.
    Mixer
    49:09. If you know the envelopes and LFOs then you pretty much know the synth.
    Pretty simple, select 2 sources and they'll be blended and will output a modulation instruction. Amount.
    50:00 Select a 2nd source. Divide. Multiply. Blend triangle and square. 51:07 Modulate filter with the Mod Mixer (what you've just been tweaking).
    51:53 Experiment, get cool shapes. Change to Diff for another result. Or Divide. Demo. 52:59 Crossfade demo. Lag smoothes the corners. Sum setting. Create your own modulations. Change LFO 2 wave.
    54:20 DCA 4. Level, Pan and Tune. 54:44 Levels at the bottom, under LFOs.
    Voice
    55:11 Mono setting.
    55:43 Reassign. 56:13 Set up the ADSR for the demo. Re-tapping a key, a new voice is assigned so it sounds smooth, because we have a poly of more than one voice. Demo. Many voices with the same key.
    57:47 Reassign makes the sound restart with the same voice. Reassigns the note to the same voice.
    59:00 Unison, stack multiple voices on one note, and can select number of unison voices. Spread setting, detunes the voices, demo.
    59:55 Increase unison, stack 4 voices, demo. 4 voices per key means you can play a max of 4 keys (for the maximum 16 voices). Unison 2 - 8 Poly. So 2 voices per key means 8 keys can now accommodate 16 voices.
    1:01:07 Reset OSC and ENV. OSC resets the phase of each voice, demo.
    1:02:05 Reset ENV. Turned off, repeated presses make a smooth sound.
    1:03:19 Turn ENV on, it restarts the envelopes each press. Turn on REASSIGN to make it reuse the same voice. Now there's silence at first with each press. Turn ENV off.
    1:04:27 Glide control knob.
    1:04:40 Covered almost everything. Effects section, you get it on nearly all synths. 4 effects.
    1:05:19 Options on the Hardware. Smaller view of Synthesis view.
    1:05:43 A little different, enable Unison. The Arpeggiator. Hold button. On. Rate. Sync - Hertz - Sync Triplets - Sync Dotted
    1:06:51 UP for arpeggiator Patterns and how many octaves it plays through.
    1:07:24 Ordered setting remembers the order you pressed each key and arpeggiates them in that order. Reversed reverses the order you played the notes. Up-Down 1 repeats notes at top and bottom of arpeggio.
    1:09:12, 1:09:25 Pitch and Mod wheels. 1:09:42 Voice dispersion, adds offset to each voice. Demo of dispersions 1, 2 and 3, small differences.
    1:11:05 Custom
    1:11:52 Everything done. Presets menu and macros like on every Arturia synth.

      Haha, Yeah that would be cool. But usually channels take a while to take off. Unless someone famous shares your content or something like that, it is a slow burn. This channel is rather new, I've got other channels with 200k and 50k etc, etc. It takes a while, I just need to keep posting and creating. Thanks for the comment and the support, that helps a lot.
