  • What is an LFO? Learning how to speak synth language isn't easy, but Justin DeLay is here to help. Today, he's explaining how to use signals generated by your instrument to shape your sound (modulation) and the science of low-frequency oscillators (LFO.)

    This series is incredible. I've been searching hard for good, simple introductions on synthesis and have come across very few that were able to cover as much ground as you guys did in such a short series. The series is especially good if you're wanting to refresh your mind on synthesis. As someone who barely new anything about synthesis before hand, I can say that this was some of the most useful information I've ever been given regarding sound design. BIG thank you to everyone that put in the work to make this series!

    It’s ridiculously perfect that his last name is DeLay, and he works for Reverb, talking about *synths*.

    Thank you so much for this series... as a newbie to synthesis, I've just noodled around with my synth controls for the tones I'm after... but this series has opened up an intuitive, foundational approach to sound design that I've been searching for. Thanks again.

    Thank you. This has been a fantastic series. I bought my first synth, a Juno 106, in Singapore in 1986 and carried it all the way back to Bangkok. Enjoyed it, but never really figured it out. I wish I had had RUclips and this series then. I wish I still had the Juno 106 now! However, now mastering the Roland Gaia I have had now for several years and getting into Pigments 2 on my Mac. Thanks again...

    Excellent explanation- As a guitarist I love Moog n really dig the Moogerfooger series pedals.I'm using the MF-103 12 stage Phaser which is an incredible unit n the best around. The thing is I get it n understand it a bit but don't really know how to really utilize the LFO. Of course I can get the sounds I want but that's me tweaking her.The unit is so versatile that I can get Deep phasing/Rotating speaker/phase wah Rind Mods etc. But because the unit is so advance the way it interacts with the sweep n resonance it can be very tricky @ times to nail a certain sound, cus just a slight adjustment create a completely different color. It fantastic in the way it responds to extreme distortion my other phasers can't even come close. Of course it's not a ordinary 2 or 4 stage unit n in reality it's much more Supreme yet more complicated. My handbook from Moog is outstanding in the details of the unit w/ it's explanation of frequencies, filters n the wave.But it's kinda out there. I need to study your series n am grateful to have come across the post-Thanks...

    This is a good series! It introduces the terms. But every gadget adjusts these parameters in a different way, there is no one "flow". Maybe more could be said about how natural sounds from natural instruments which developed over time to sound pleasing to us can be duplicated with synthesis steps.

  • @dansguitarheaven

  • @natancopeincraft
    @natancopeincraft 5 лет назад

    We really appreciate this man. Thank you. What if you don't want an lfo or wave shape though? How do you turn the wave motion off completely is what I can't figure out? My strings keep getting lower and higher overtime with the modulation and wave. Anybody know what I mean? I cannot figure out how to make it flat with reverb and effects basically, is what I'm saying. Anyone?

      Because even when it is set to "high" for an LFO, it is still very low frequency (usually less than 20 Hz) compared to the oscillators generating the audible sound (which generally go into the KHz range).
