    I just spent 35 bucks (that was half price too) on a FM synthesis course from Warp Academy (who have some really dope courses though), and he just made static noise the whole time. It was insulting. Learned a fuckton more in this free video. Thank you.

    So basically the change in pitch you get equals to the derivative of the modulator.
    For some reason thinking this made it easier for me to understand.
    That's why you get
    1)wobblyness with sine, because its derivative is also a wave thing (cos),
    2) two pitches for triangle because it has two derivatives - +const and -const,
    3) 0 change with square because it is a graph of a constant, which derivative is 0. And the clicking is because in the | area of square the derivative is basically infinity, which sort of translates as a super fast slide up, and ends up sounding like white noise because of its speed.
    Wow, Seamless. You are helping me bring my understanding of things to a higher level, thank you!

      could you tell me about the square wave part ? He says minimum phase there is 0 and maximum is 360. I didn't quite get that. I know they're one and the same but I don't understand what exactly is he trying to say with the square wave.

    • @cowbless
      @cowbless 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@abishekraju8787 basically the "|" oart of a square wave, a vertical slope, indicates an instantn change from minimum to maximum amplitude. And instant change means derivative equal to infinity, aka speed.
      So if we understood that pitch is dictated by value of derivative, we know that synth tries to do (for example) 450hz...9999999999hz 450hz, and that jump generates a click

      @cowbless 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@abishekraju8787 and i think he is kinda wrong on that, as 360 degrees is a cycle thing. So a full wave is 360 deg, and when you are at 360 you are at the start of it again. Its the horizontal dimension, has little to do with the shape of a wave

    Good info, I had no idea FMing a high frequecy thing with a low frequency saw produced hard sync, mind blown a little bit. It looks like the tiny blip a saw makes as a phase modulator happens to end in a way that the phase of the carrier resets every oscillation of the saw, which is basically hard sync. The short high frequency bit is different, but the abrupt phase change from actual hard sync also produces something similar although a bit harsher.

      I'm not positive but I'm fairly certain every new note you play essentially starts a new instance of the synth and all of its operations. that's why polyphonic synths eat up a bunch of CPU the more notes you have. I think. don't take this as fact, it's just my guess.

    @ThatGuyWhoAteYourDog 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Woow, thank you for explaining it from the ground up. I never truly understood what it meant to modulate an oscillator by another oscillator. Holy fuck that's cool.
    Edit: so wait, at 10:30 when he's talking about the behavior of the different waves, is he essentially saying that the derivative of the sine/triangle/square wave = the way in which pitch is changed?
    Edit 2: How do you go about fitting these into the mix? The growls pretty much fill the entire spectrum, and I feel like if you EQ'd out a section of it, it would ruin the sound.

    • @DJFriendZone
      @DJFriendZone 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      For your first edit, I believe this is correct. I assume it has to do with the fact that the waveform is controlling the phase. The rate at which the phase is changed determines the way the pitch is changed. If the phase of the carrier constant, there will be no pitch change (as in the square wave; there are two positions for the modulator, both of which are constant. Simply changing the phase of the carrier and keeping it that way won't affect the pitch (the click is from the speaker quickly trying to change the phase of the carrier immediately). The saw wave changes the phase of the carrier at a constant rate, which will change the pitch of the sound in a constant way (it lowers the frequency of the sound as the phase is being moved backwards as the waveform of the carrier). The triangle wave has two steps: a positive one (where the phase of the carrier is being "pushed" foreword, increasing its pitch) and a negative one (where the phase of the carrier is being "pulled" backwards, decreasing its pitch). Since the sine wave is infinitely differentiable, it will change the pitch in a way similar to the shape of the modulator itself.

      In case I have some crazy sounding screeches or basses that conquer the eintire sound spectrum, I usually go the Dubstep way and don't layer them with any other melodic instruments, but instead have small portions inside each bar where the melodies and chords stops to make the terrible FM stuff happen in between

    • @FabForceFour
      @FabForceFour 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      RM which stand for ring modulation changes the volume of the sound by the wave form. So if you used a sine wave in the RM section your sound output would rise and fall in the shape of a sine wave. it's kinda like a LFO and volume knob mix. if you find the old video about FM synthesis (how to bass 8 i believe) he talks about it there.

    • @xrenynthemusicmage6422
      @xrenynthemusicmage6422 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, you can do that:
      For your modulating operator (in Sytrus) go to the volume section and in either ModX or ModY (which should be a straight line always at the top initially) you gotta make a straight line from the bottom to the top.
      Then - in the Main tab - you gotta right-click you ModX- (or ModY-) knob and choose "Create Automation Clip" from the drop-down menu, as you would do for any other parameter. Voila, you got your FM volume automation clip!

    • @FabForceFour
      @FabForceFour 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      you could to a point. at about 45khz you'll get AA. People say the human ear cant hear past about 22khz, but i think that a even slightly trained ear could hear 45khz, not that it matters or is relevant to your question.
      TL;DR - once you reach half of 96khz you'll get anti-aliasing.

    Legend! Been wanting to learn about this sort of thing for a while now. Have a growing obsession and fascination with sound design, will be watching this a few times.
    Hope you can reply to this, would you have any more videos, or know of books that explain this further as well?
    Thank you for your videos! Happy day :D

      If you're running it on PC there are VSTs available. If you're running Mac there's an alpha for a mac VST of Harmor, I think. It isn't super stable, I've heard.

    ZynAddSubFX (and probably some other plugins) have actual Frequency Modulation, in addition to Phase Modulation, so it isn't really impossible to modulate frequency that fast...

    Can anyone explain how the frequency ratio works .

    • @deanblack1235
      @deanblack1235 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I'll take a stab at your question...
      It gives an operator a specific frequency and you can adjust that frequency using ratios.
      Octaves are in ratios of 1:2 or 2:1 (powers of two). Frequency ratio settings of 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 give you the same note, but in different octaves.
      A major third is the 4th note above the base note in a chromatic scale. With 12 notes in a chromatic octave, the major 3rd is 4:12 or 0.25:1. If you have operator 1 output at a freq ratio of 1 and set operator 2 as its own output signal but at a freq ratio of 1.25, you will get a major 3rd chord. If we double the freq ratio for operator 1 and set it at 2, then we apply the ratio of 0.25:1 and set the freq ratio of operator to 2.5 to get the same major third chord. 0.5 is 1/4 of 2.
      Kind of a bad explanation but does that help?

      @SdoggaMan 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      phase, actually, and it's the waveform's position in the spectrum of positive or negative. The best way to actually see and understand this is to look at your speaker cone. it wobbles, pushing waves through the air that you then hear. When it pushes out, that's positive phase, because the generator (whatever is making the electric signal that your speaker turns to something that can be interacted with by you) is sending out waves that oscillate between + and - very fast. So phase modulation is changing where the wave starts - perfect centre? Positive? Negative?
      It can also affect where the peaks are - the highest and lowest points on the wave - but that is different and irrelevant mostly to this. :)

    Had a dream about an episode of archer. Its like your regular dream where mundane things happen like taking a test. however it would switch to this episode of archer intermittently and eventually the two worlds of taking the test and the cast of archer would collide.
    well the person who administered the test asked me for one of my laffy taffy and didn't like it. Apparently i didnt like their reaction to my candy and he was merged into the role of cyril.
    -----------
    Archer and lana were looking around for a hidden assassination point. This episode took place on a cruiseliner. They had to bring cyril with them for undercover work as a diplomat. Their target was a fascist leader.
    eventually things get out of hand, cyril is creating all kinds of issues and archer wants a threesome with an assistant of the fascist and lana. So they meet up with the fascist and exchange cyril (now out of the diplomat role, dressed as himself ) for the assistant.
    the fascist agrees to this exchange. Cyril is put to many tasks and fails them all miserably creating hell for the fascist. eventually the fascist is so worn down he hands cyril a semi-automatic and makes the shape with his arms a "sawtooth wave" and then a pleading pose to cyril.
    during the time the fascist makes the sawtooth pose, my brain has been listening to this video and hears seamless showing off the oscillation sounds @ 14:40. Cyril also hears these sounds and interprets something differently.
    Our fascist is on the ground belly down, looking exhaused with bags under his eyes like he hasn't found sleep for many days. Cyril brings himself down and straddles the fascist while cocking the gun right next to the fascists face. then throws the gun away, turns around, crotch pressed against the fascists back. at a sonic speed cyril begins humping the fascist, the fascist turns around to find a well toned bubble butt ass twerking in front of him and it meets his face in rapid succession. The fascists head hits the floor then bounces back to find cyrils ass once more. this goes on for 3 minutes until the fascist is a bruised and bloody pulp. the man died from somebody twerking at an inhuman speed directly into his face.

      You gotta know your tools before you can use them, even just for understanding. He's explaining everything Sytrus-special, for sure, but if that isn't enough for you you might just need to learn it yourself
