Hi Guy, Have a look at the Vital synthesizer... It is the first synth I truly felt at home with and once I tried some of the modulation I was designing my own sounds (albeit completely mad sounds at first) and I feel relatively comfortable sitting down and programming the simpler stuff, and then applying the crazy modulations to it. I think a lot of your subs would love it, and another thing... It's free!
Vital does look compelling... and I have also had my eye on Obsession, just because Guy said it was a great synth. But I am far from fully exploring the synths I already own, notably Omnisphere 2, Pigments, Massive X. So many filters/LFOs, so little time!
I pay for subscription for Vital because I think the designer (Matt Tytel) deserves money for coming up with a plugin that beats Serum, and then gives it away. It's easily the best free synth VST Plugin, Audio Units Plugin, VST 3 Plugin, LV2 Plugin and it can be used standalone as well. Amazing piece of work. Gave it away for nothing. Legend.
@@joecantdance494 You don't need to pay anything, he did it so everyone could have access to it because he wants people to use it and create new music. I love the guy for what he's done.
0:57 3 or 4 main things that go on in a synth. 1:32 First thing, the sound source, normally called oscillators 2:07 2nd, Filters, and 3rd, Envelopes. Showing how this looks in 2 other synths. 2:38 ES1 3:26 Wave form, square wave, sine wave, these are the basic ones. 4:08 Filters, they take some of the initial sound, subtractive synthesis. Lowpass = allows low sounds to pass. 18 / 24 dB = how sharply it filters, demo. Bandpass = lets one band of the sound pass. And deep notch. 6:20 Envelopes. 4 sections - ADSR, demo. Play with it to learn how it works. 8:28 Adding the filter envelope. ENV AMT knob determines how much the filter envelope affects the filter. If the amplitude cuts the sound off then the release won't make a difference, amplitude takes priority over the filter envelope. How they work together is interesting. 10:28 Message from sponsor 11:00 Building a sound 11:21 Pulse Width, demo. 11:55 Reso - Resonance, demo. 12:42 Turn it into a pad, more attack and release. It doesn't sound big because there's just one oscillator working, can have many oscillators playing the same note. Turn it into an orchestra by adding more unison voices, and increase the spread. 14:03 Add FX with FX bus. Reverb, delay. Change PW. It's not hard. Because you understand how it's done, you can then mess with it. 14:53 Category 4, modulation. LFO = low frequency oscillator. Use Mod Matrix, select LFO 1. 15:58 Filter cut off, select Filter 1 Cutoff as destination. LFO 1 will now affect the Cutoff. Turn up the amount, increase rate, sync it. Demo of amount. 16:49 Change shape of low frequency. Demo. Much of the time, the modulation matrix is the complicated part. 17:40 Controllers to modify the sound. Demo of assigning controllers on your hardware to control things in the synth, Right click > MIDI Learn. 19:40 Make LFO 1 go to Osc 1 Pulse Width, demo. Now LFO 1 changes the pulse width automatically. 20:47 Wrap up. Get stuck in. 21:20 Find each synth's speciality. What Dune 3 is good at. Obsession. Every one is rich and different.
So helpful! I've never seen an explanation of synths that was so down-to-earth and so easy for beginners to get their heads around. I've been using a bunch of synth plugins for a while now, and I never really understood what I was doing. Now I'll attack it with a renewed commitment and better understanding. I also may need to watch this a few more times to really get to grips with it. Thank you so much, Guy!
I do not get paid to do this, yet I spend days on end doing just this. Lovely stuff, thanks for sharing it with people who have yet to start their sound design hobby.
Guy, I’ve never left a comment as yet but have been following you since the first lockdown. Just want to thank you for everything I’ve learnt! It’s been an inspirational journey and given me confidence in blending electronic with sourced samples e.g. Spitfire. You’ve also helped my understanding of composition. If anyone new reads this, I’d highly recommend subscribing as you won’t find anyone as experienced willing to strip down concepts that feel complex and intimidating into down to earth, comprehensive chunks without being patronising - an art in itself! I’ve been struggling with several synth manuals recently (Absynth, FM8, Massive, Diva especially) and lost motivation. In typical fashion, Guy knocks out a brilliant tutorial and in 30 minutes saves me several hours. Might buy the full version of Dune too. Cheers mate!
Came here to like this video! I don't need the instruction, but we really need more of these tutorial types from great people like you that explain so well. Thank you for sharing this, Guy.
Yay for identifying the problem with presets. I program sounds from scratch in every piece of music I create, because otherwise I find that I am trying to compose in service of the sounds rather than using sounds in service of the composition. Love the beard too.
A timely tutorial, tnx! I just started playing around with a free opensource synth called 'Surge'. a hybrid wavetable/subtractive synth I believe it started off as a commercial product, abandoned and has since been developed further by some generous developers.
Guy, just adding to the gratitude you are receiving. You really made it easy to understand concepts that seem quite complicated. I had purchased a few Behringer synths and ended up selling them as I could not make heads or tails of how to generate useful sounds. If I had your explanation, I would have kept them all most likely. I second the opinion of seeing a video on sequencer functions. That is another area that seems hit or miss without understanding what impact moving a box or checking a switch actual does. Again, thank you for all the time you spend on creating your videos. They make a real difference. Scott
Thanks Guy. Brilliant as usual. Yes, people make sounds for a living and then sell them as patches or banks. It melts my head that people sit there creating these sounds for a synth someone already owns for which, with the right knowledge, could create those sounds themselves. Then they purchase those patches and banks, essentially paying someone else to tweak their knobs for them. It's a strange world we live in.
Thanks Guy, for introducing people to make their own sounds. The moment when you in need for a sound that is in your head already but you can't find it in your tons of libraries, build it with a Synth ! To use synths, building your own sound, is very important, to understand what sound is.
Once again an utterly brilliant video! Currently struggling my way through Syntorial which is great for the detail but this video has provided me with a holistic view and in an understandable and digestible format. Thank you Guy… for the education and the inspiration!!
I use Reason synths a lot (in rack). There are a lot of them and you can put cables to make even more different sounds. If you are a sound designer, it's really great.
I'm new to synthesis and a complete noob head I'm still trying to get my hear around it all and even if I learn one thing form a video like this it really helps and thank you
Great explanations and guide for synths - On a separate note, I don't know if your new beard works. At this time of year, It reminds me of the 4 stages of life:: 1 - You believe in Santa Claus 2 - You don't believe in Santa Claus 3 - You are Santa Claus 4 - You look like Santa Claus
Yeah, so one day Guy decides to sit down for a half hour and create one of the best synth intro videos in existence... I know because I've watched loads of them. I love how this education / books / video combination of monetized and free model works. I'm glad Guy and several others are doing it well: literally everyone all around (teacher, paying student, YT student) wins.
Thank you Guy! This was SUPER usefull.... as a guitarist I always wondered how these complex thingies work. You made it super simple! Thank you for spending the time and teach us...
Thank you so much for this, Guy! It’s like you’re reading my mind! Quick - what am I thinking now? 🤔 Exactly - angry kitties! Very good! Anyway, just purchased Omnisphere for a new project and was wondering WTF I needed to do to get started. Now I’m more focused on WTF I need to do to write this composition. Progress! As usual, you’ve eliminated one more WTF from my life. Thanks so much and have a wonderful holiday - and I hope you get WTF ever you want from Santa! You deserve it! 🎅🏻
The amplitude controls how loud the incoming wave will be. Here you can manipulate when the peak volume of the sound will occur. Whether it be instanteous and susstain/fade out, or swell in and out, or slowly fade in.
Well, that just explained a lot of stuff I have been avoiding due to lack of knowledge. I have been using presets mostly, now I think I can tweak them using your tips. Thanks. Now, If you could do a bit on Sequencers I would be most happy!
I almost always make sure to put some reverb on my synth when I experiment with new patches. Makes most of them sound a lot better which makes it more fun to try to create good patches, and I think it makes me judge them more fairly as well.
Great stuff, Guy. As mentioned by others, Vital is a great start for those who perhaps share my limitations of a pea brain. I actually have Omnisphere and some other odds and sods from the past but I have always been hijacked by presets and never really got to grips with the virtual nuts and bolts. Thanks for turning up and soldiering on with a stinking snuffler. 10:27 :).
Thanks for this (a refresher for me, at least). Though I've yet get into it all as deep as I've wished. Keep going in and out of it all for the past decade. Should we presume there'll be a 102 down the line?
It would be great to have a video demonstrating what can be achieved using fully free synths and samplers. Can we create something melodic and cinematically epic sounding with free tools only? I'm really curious.
Might be neat to go down the rabbit hole of how inexpensive it can be to do something like this for a beginner or casual enthusiast. FOSS soft-synths such as ZynAddSubFX are more capable than multi-$1000 collectors hardware from the 1980's and 1990's. That should be a fun topic some day if you're willing to go there.
Finally Serum makes sense. But a wave table style synth. I’m guessing he’s using that style. I’d love to build some more basic dry in mix sounds. Simpler in mix, almost hidden. Presets are great. But all to much for some stuff.
Instant bookmark! Since it's near the topic... Guy please! Could you make a tutorial video how to make the next Mortal Kombat theme aka. 90's agressive synth music. Blade - Blood Disco etc. are an absolute blast but I'm quite unsure where to start with such songs. Thank you for explaining this in such a perfect way. I'm a mere guitarist so it's not that obvious.
Amazing how with few ingredients we can go from something that is just a oscilator buzzing to a sound that you think to yourself "this is a sound!" Up until the filter env the sound was like nothing, and then it was something!
Hi Guy, great vid and a great topic. The android app Caustic really helped me understand the basics of synthesis. And as your bound by the app there is less chance of becoming distracted by new and shiny plugins (not that there is anything wrong with that)
Guy you should check out lorn's music, I have a feeling you might like it, the sound design and the grit of it is super enjoyable and very much like the sounds you did today, if you can could you try to make a tutorial ?
Thank you, Guy - another great video. I am chronically confused about low pass (and high pass) filters. I know what they do but just seems counterintuitive that clockwise rotation of the lfp knob is introducing high frequencies. I know I must be thinking about this backwards. Are we actually turning the filter off by rotating clockwise? Maybe it's an American thing. I have had a German car for years and still cannot get used to the fact that dialing clockwise zooms the nav out instead of in!
Anyone know where voices come into all of this? I've got Serum and it's got something called Voices which I came here to learn about but Guy never mentions it. Anyone understand them? Chris.
Hey Guy! I was wondering how you'd feel about making a video on soundtracks from other composers and show us why they work. As I was listening to "The Kraken" by Hans Zimmer I was amazed by the build-up and thought to myself, it would be so cool if Guy could analyse it for us through the eyes of a composer. Also, your videos are really inspiring. Thanks for the output.✌
Great video. I find programming my own sounds is fun (even creating FM sounds). Unless I'm just patch-surfing for inspiration to start a piece I find it unbearable to scroll through dozens of sounds that are almost all utterly unsuitable.
I'm not sure about others, but the volume of the synthesizers is way too loud for a comfortable viewing, although the explanation is really easy to understand
Hi Guy i'm a hardware synth and groovebox etc budding musician but i am intrigued by the capabilities and sound of the Dune 3 VST - would i need a DAW or any other software to support it since it looks the bees knees.I wasn't looking for one but this does tick a lot of boxes for me.
Super helpful (as usual)! Do you have any tips on getting a Synth sound to sit in a mix when being mixed with orchestral libraries that are very much in a room? I struggle to get the Synth to not sound like it’s just sitting on top of orchestral libraries.
I’m not Guy obvs lol but you’re going to want to try and emulate what your instruments are doing with your synth. I find that running everything through a reverb/delay send but giving the synth more of it than the live instruments can be helpful in glueing stuff together as long as you don’t go overboard. Adding movement to a synth so it’s not as static will help too, as you’re getting a very dry ‘perfect’ sound from a synth and so it won’t carry the ‘imperfections’ of and instrument. Subtle volume frequency and filter automation can be a great way to do this :)
Hi Guy, Have a look at the Vital synthesizer... It is the first synth I truly felt at home with and once I tried some of the modulation I was designing my own sounds (albeit completely mad sounds at first) and I feel relatively comfortable sitting down and programming the simpler stuff, and then applying the crazy modulations to it.

As someone who is just dabbling in music production after a lifetime of working in visual art this video was like a masterclass on synths.
Go have fun!
Thank you, Guy! I think this is the first time I actually understood how these synths work. Your explanation was clear and easy to understand.
Looking forward to hearing your new electronic compositions!
Thank you so much!! Been wanting to learn more about programming synth sounds!
Ooooh. I'm looking forward to watching this properly over the weekend!
Fun! Now I have something to mess around with on break lol. Thanks, Guy!
First! And I'm studying this at the moment so, great timimng. Thanks, Guy!
My two favorite synths Dune and Obsession, nice! :D
One of the best synth tutorials. Making it easy/simple to understand for a beginner. Thank u!👍
Great explanation. The university of RUclips hits another home-run… thanks
My favourite RUclipsr there is. I feel like I know Guy after watching a few videos - so clear, helpful and enthusiastic
Lowpass filter "allows the lows to pass through". Seems so obvious now, but that really made filters click for me. Great video.
Great introduction to synths Guy!
Big smile on my face when Dune popped up,,, by far my favourite soft synth. Love it 🙂
Thanks Guy. Brilliant as usual.

I’m not Guy obvs lol but you’re going to want to try and emulate what your instruments are doing with your synth. I find that running everything through a reverb/delay send but giving the synth more of it than the live instruments can be helpful in glueing stuff together as long as you don’t go overboard. Adding movement to a synth so it’s not as static will help too, as you’re getting a very dry ‘perfect’ sound from a synth and so it won’t carry the ‘imperfections’ of and instrument. Subtle volume frequency and filter automation can be a great way to do this :)
I absolutely love that magnificent beard.
I like it when they sound like evil death chimes from hell.
