This is a phenomenally clear and helpful video! Your explanations are clear, really well paced, and so thorough. Your pacing is perfect. I'd be glad to pay for this level of instruction. THANK YOU!
@@jonaudio me too, but I gotta say I have watched a lot of synth tutorials on UA-cam and your break downs are so clear and concise. It would be great if Zebra or HZ was in your future plans. I'm sure a lot of people would benefit from it. Keep up the great work. I subscribed last week and man I'm happy I did, it's a treasure trove of great informatiom
I'm glad to have you aboard! I noticed that too when I would browse around for synth tutorials, the explanations weren't very clear and most of them would just say what something is, but they would leave out the why and when something should be used, and to me that is the most important part. I'm a big fan of Zebra and there's really not much content out there for it, so I was really thinking about bringing lots of Zebra stuff to the channel. I simply cannot wait until uhe releases zebra 3, Ive really been looking forward to that one
Hey Jon, I wanna know what's your take on the trend of stacking up numbers of synth OSC? Heard Fabfilter Twin 3 is packed with 4 of it. What could be useful when having more or is it just a gimmick
@@jonaudio what i meant by that is i see the industry is slowly trying to sell the mentality of "the more the better" in synths, like i heard GPU audio could stack up to 8 OSCs. But why? This makes me think about subtraction. Wanna hear your opinion on it
Ah gotcha, yeah the whole bigger is better thing isn't really true in my opinion. More oscs and more voices doesn't really mean a bigger sound. It's really how you use them and being aware of phase and whatnot. Also at the end of the day it really depends on what type of sound you're going for too.
@@jonaudio In fact, more OSC can weaken the output due to phase shifting based frequency erase. Most powerful bases still only use one or two OSC. Second one usually for adding overtones from higher pitches. But 4 OSC could be interesting for ever changing pads, to create additional layers of textures or to use in a paraphonic scenario where every triggered note (4) outputs a different sound, like MOOG "Matriarch" does. That also works great when arpeggiated. For pure mono synths imo, like the Doepfer MS 404, the Korg MS-20, Waldorf Pulse, MiniBrute- to name just a view -, less always is more. Cheers

thank you so much man!! I'm glad you're getting value out of the course!!
Amazing video! Love how you explain things, I will binge watch all of your series now. Bye!
Thank you so much!! If you come across any questions, feel free to reach out!
Brilliant video, please do Zebra after Diva. I find that synth really complex to work with.
That would be really fun. I love zebra, especially the hz version.

Could you explain that just a bit more, I'm a little confused as to what you mean
