Wow! I love 'wacky' synthesis algorithms, esp. quantized FM for example. I am terrible at maths :( but understood this completely - cannot wait to try it out. Thanks for sharing.
This is really great, a fun implementation and a refreshing new way to use additive ideas, it seems to combat the metallic/glassiness of traditional additive synthesis with just a few subtle parameter changes. Great work!
What about aliasing? I gave this a try and can hear a large amount of aliasing on C5 already with just two oscillators being used. (the minimum function is basically an if statement, so it's Non-linear, aliasing is an issue here)
@Felipe Tellez, @Giorgio Sancristoforo There is a Eurorack module that makes this an easy patch: the Doepfer A-172 min/max module. Connect a few sine oscillators, and you’re done. The only catch I that this module isn’t produced anymore so you’ll have to find a used module. The nice thing about analog modular is that you don't have the aliasing issue. I tried it with a few sine oscillators, a Tiptop MISO, and the Doepfer A-172. It sounds really nice!

Please do more max tutorials ! Very informative and good content! I wish I could learn more
Interesting application and discussion.
great synth method! thanks for sharing with us ✌
8:38 Explanation about Tropical Additive Synthesis begins
I was able to build a 3 oscillator version of this in bitwig's grid pretty easily.
Great tutorial! Thanks! ❤
chuld you upload this as a patch to download? i whil love it
love your work!!
thank you!

Make it analog or place a brickwall
@@toborexperiment What do you mean with brickwall?
@@9b0 he's referring to a filter with a brickwall steep cutoff slope
I may have to create an anti-aliased VST plugin version of this and credit you. Edit: Wait, why are you not making audio plugins?
tried it out. some seriously evil sounds came out. not tropical at all
This was very good. Gonna try it in a patch I'm working on.
What's the program name where you write the functions?
Desmos!
@@toborexperiment thank you! Hope to see more max videos 💪🏽
I want a eurorack module of this

@@jandobbelsteen8953 there are also Min/Max outputs available on other inexpensive Euro modules, check out the Intellijel Ring Modulator 👍
