Building a Synthesizer, part 1: Oscillators
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 янв 2019
- Part 1 of a series of videos that explore designing a software synthesizer using the Max visual programming language. In this first video, we look at creating oscillators for our synthesizer.
This video was originally created for MUSS2620: Music Technology Skills & Techniques at the University of Leeds.

I'm a musician and a software developer, and/but this is the first time that I totally grokked the basics of waveform synthesis. Thank you so much!
This helped me through the obligatory Max 8 assignments in school
Thank you very much indeed. Oliver Thurley, this is a fantastic presentation. I play electric guitar (mostly) but have integrated with a Logic Pro based DAW for about 10 years now. I am barely proficient with the system and am not that keen on the Login plugins. I've messed around with 3rd party AUs (notably Surge XT, Vital, and Reaktor).
I have only had max for a few days now and have been so blown away by the depth and scope of it that I have barely been able to touch it. Your teaching style is very easy to understand, delivered at a relaxed pace with the 'right' level of attention to detail, so thanks, Oliver, When I heard you questioning "What is a synthesiser?". That was great and got me thinking, ruminating and thought I would present you with a (dictionary) definition:
• combine (a number of things) into a coherent whole

Oliver, thank you for making this video. I have just started trying to learn Max/MSP and there is so much to take in at the beginning. One of my main goals is to make my own synthesizers and this video was a fantastic tutorial. Going to go through the rest of the lessons, but wanted to express my thanks to you.
Holy shit what a useful channel. Love your knowledge and how well you transfer it, very fun to work through
this is the best video out there. Great job @oliver.
This explanation is so professional!!!
Love your videos Oliver! Very well explained. I want to build a 8 voice FM synth with 4 operators and dedicated ADSR, a pitch envelope and LFO. I think I can do it thanks to your videos. I hope you diving in the FM hole.. That is my favourite synthesis. :)
My cat bit me when the four sound waves began to sound hahaha
Thanks for this one! I'm just getting started with MAX and it was fun way to learn some basics.
Glad it was helpful!
thank you for taking it to basics!..great vid..cheers.
Glad it was helpful!
Much thanks bro, you are more than a teacher
love your work''
You're great 🦔
Well done
Very informative video, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! :)
very good tutorial
brutal¡¡¡
\m/
nice video
This is insane, saw lots various versions of emulators including internal ones provided by DAWs, Max seems to be the most user-friendly. Is there way to export the resulted sound to .wav file at particular volume/velocity/frequency? Thanks!
❤️🥰❤️
when its all finished, how do you epost it out with a user interface ready to use in a music software package?
Great video Oliver - question: how could we setup fine tuning for the oscillator?
Interesting... well there's a lot of different ways you could try. Maybe simplest would be adding a small amount to the frequency using a simple [+ ] object after your main (coarse) pitch control. However, this won't track evenly across your frequency range. To do that, you'd probably want to get a reading in cents (1200 cents per octave), and then make your adjustment in cents... say +/- 50 cents... but I'll leave you to explore the different ways of doing that. Good luck!
What is the little button/trigger thing you added around 36:00?
wow
can build with max arranger like Korg pa 600 or Yamaha?
can anyone share the link where i can download Max,i will be thankfull
Is this how vst's are made ? Can this program be used to design and made as a plugin ? I'm new here just gathering some information. Thank you.
.exe only
You can use max as a plugin with ableton. Its called max for live.
Man, how did you convert the object "gain" in a slider?
Not sure which bit you mean, but I generally use the [live.gain~] object for my gain sliders?
what does the t b i bit at the end mean?
it means, when the object receives something, it will [T]rigger a [B]ang and the input [I]nteger from the outlets. You can add other arguments to output more bangs or numbers or whatever...
how can I use 5 oscillators at once?
