As a music software developer, you're kinda right but you're also kinda wrong, it's hard to explain. For example, I could probably make a DAW, but I still have yet to learn math and Desmos is kind of a mystery to me lol. I guess I know the math but just in the language of computers rather than the language of classic math stuff?
@@LWmusik As an audio software developer, while calculus, linear algebra and other stuff is important, they should not stop you from learning in any way. Basic concepts of overlap-add buffers, format-specific things like controllers, events and so on, GUI, they don't require math. As for actual synthesis, you need minimal math by the way. You can either just combine partials for additive synthesis, or for subtractive synthesis, just begin with a procedural waveform (may be created using just logic or math, really) and go subtractive on it using filters or anything else. It's just important to never let anyone stop you, and if you don't know math in its classic sense, it's not an issue either! Keep creating. ^^
It would be more correct to say that every procedural synthesizer plugin is just a calculator on steroids, the DAWs usually have other responsibilities =]
The fact that the chords change so slowly like this makes it feel like it's an organ playing to a church chant. The plagal cadence at the end seals the deal - I literally heard the "amen" in my head during chords 25 and 26 (1:12 onward).
I've simulated waves in Desmos before, basics like sine, triangles, squares and saws but also played with things like phase modulation. …but I don't have any idea how to actually get a sound out of it.
omg amazin, i would watch and appreciate this for the gimmick, but then these chords really took me by surprise. next we prove desmos is ableton complete
So let me explain what this guy is doing. What is considered a sine graph/sine wave in maths is considered as a fundamental tone or frequency. This means a singular pitch such as the A4 (440hz) or C3 (middle C) notes on a piano or keyboard with no harmonics and thus the frequency or tone may sound flat/dull at times. When you play multiple musical notes together over various intervals you get a chord. A chord in audio physics represents a complex tone, that is - one which is made out of multiple harmonics and frequencies + the fundamental frequency or in the context of a musical chord, the root. If we apply music theory to this, they have applied various skills such as when and when not to use the tonic, modulation and perhaps various voicings and inversions for better harmonic flow. So shout out to them for being able to do this while it took me 2 hours to plot y= x^2 on demos 👏😅😂🎛
P L E A S E make a video breaking down how this was done and what most of it means, at least like in general terms; I've been trying to replicate this myself because I'm really interested but I'm lost because desmos wants me to assign a val to P and H ;-;
Whoa 😳 would you mind scrolling down to show the kinds of equations you used? I'm trying to recreate this cuz it's really cool but I can't figure out how sound waves work 😭 EDIT nvm you can just put a list in the tone function lol tone(2^(A/12) * 440)
And this is why music theory counts as a math class. Lol, awesome stuff!
omg hi vega,,
im lowkey far more impressed by the chord progression that was kinda magical
we gotta get George Collier on this one
If this was the Eighties of would’ve been nabbed for the intro of someone’s album track
@@anko_dtm I hope this is a joke
well that's the magic of pure intervals
@@aleksandarstojceski3139 why? He’s done transcriptions for weirder stuff
I think every DAWs imaginable are just Desmos on steroids

yeah now that you say that it sounds like something off of kali malone’s the sacrificial code lol
haha, indoctrinated minds…
@@PASHKULI yeah indoctrinated saying it sounds like an organ
@PASHKULI HOLY SHIT WHY IS EVERY OTHER ATHEIST CORNY ASL
@@PASHKULI I despise religion so much
This demonstration finally got me to hear the beats and waviness inherent in equal temperament tuning.
These chords are gorgeous. I was expecting most of them but the octave spread and the timing somehow made it more magical
A album of this would be incredible, ive already listened a couple of times
Thats a great idea!
A berry good idea
The connection between maths and music always amazes me
This is so indescribably cool. When that first bass note hits at 0:48, it made me feel a special kinda way
I've simulated waves in Desmos before, basics like sine, triangles, squares and saws but also played with things like phase modulation.
…but I don't have any idea how to actually get a sound out of it.
I use the Tone function :]
Holy shit this is the best chord progression I've heard in my life dude. Its so nostalgic yet so new and refreshing. Kudos to you!
This is actually something that you’d hear in Minecraft holy hell that was ethereal
This made me feel a complex emotion
You may like life mask by portico quartet. Not quite as simple and elegant as this but very cool.
br o this is deadmau5 levels of melody
I’m so glad someone mentioned him here. I had that thought in the back of my mind but didn’t think anyone else would’ve noticed it.
i couldn't learn music theory and now i gotta learn math im cooked
It would be cool if you tagged this video as music so I could listen to it in TH-cam music.
omg amazin, i would watch and appreciate this for the gimmick, but then these chords really took me by surprise. next we prove desmos is ableton complete
scratched a brain itch with this one
0:13 BILL WURTZ FLY AROUND REFERENCE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Kinda reminds me of an unreleased track by Boards of Canada - “From one source all things depend”
sounds almost IDENTICAL to "it was all a dream" by snails house!
Ngl, that's true. Ujico makes great music.
This Impressed me, beautiful work, this make me cry
Reminds me of analogue aphex twin
Never thought id say i wanna sample math before but wow this is beautiful
A~~~~~~~~~~me~~~~~n.
on Desmos is crazy
youre a good chord writer
Thanks!
@@berrynote whats the chord progression?
omfg thank you i didnt knew this existed
you made me like desmos now
you crazy crazy this is awesome
The simplest things are always the most amazing love this ❤️
okok Im going to bed right now....
Omg never thought I would see something from math class on my recommendations 😂
Getting Boards of Canada vibes from this
Music is math
absolutely crazy
Wow, this is awesome. Kind of giving me Radiohead Kid A vibes, I had no idea Desmos could do this!
I wish i wrote this this is beautiful
I need to try this out, it's a cool way of visualizing and understanding intervals!
Next step: write a Python program to FFT an arbitrary sound file and feed it into Desmos to play music 😁
New video idea... :]
@@berrynote oops too late i already did it :3333 i was bored th-cam.com/video/rZkUCJyyAKE/w-d-xo.html
When do they drop midi support?
Viva la desmos music revolution!

Nice explanation!
Man, what phenomenal chords
omg I gotta try this, that's insane
If someone can hook into Desmos and let you send midi in realtime (or someday even audio) it could make for a really interesting plugin
P L E A S E make a video breaking down how this was done and what most of it means, at least like in general terms; I've been trying to replicate this myself because I'm really interested but I'm lost because desmos wants me to assign a val to P and H ;-;
earthbound energy
This is so soothing
Nice chord progression man
This is lovely.
This is beautiful my guy. I've only been using desmos to get through my electronics work. I'd love to learn how you've done this!
Thanks a ton! I didn't create the graph in this video, but here's a similar one I did make!
www.desmos.com/calculator/jisfczn5s4
this is beautiful
This is great
new sophie dropped
i’m in love with this
How are you even doing that, I love the visualization are you able to share a calculator just of that?
*inserts absolute cinema gif*
ah!! this is beautiful, i really would love to animate to this
0:32 i feel like that shouldve descended e d db
im sorrryy I choked when writing :[
@@berrynote do it again mwahahaha
desmos is so good for music theory like microtones
Beautiful
Reminds me of “YOU AINT GOTTA LIE TO KICK IT MY FELLA, YOU AINT GOTTA TRY SO HAAAARD”
So it’s very good
I need a tutorial about this! How did you generate the single oscillator note? It's cool AF
Nice organ
Honestly I want to see someone get a voice into desmos
holy that's amazing
this is so great
You are a magician
literal goosebumps dude wut is wrong with you?
Love this
sounds a little bit like a soundtrack from Kraina Grzybow TV
Now if only there was volume control.
there is actually, I just didn't know it at the time :[
spicy meatball
Now do it in just intonation :3
for some reason this was radiohead af
Sounds a lot like Boards Of Canada
super cool! how are you doing the audio-rate synthesis? i've been wanting something like that for a while
tone function?!?!
yeah, here's a little graph I made to kinda show how it works! www.desmos.com/calculator/asnf7iuw3z
And they say that music made on a computer with the aid of algorithms is devoid of emotion....
How does it work? Desmos tells me to add sliders for P and H. I guess the list A_1 is somehow mapped to these variables?
yeah, the A-> [ ] list is inputting a list of numbers corresponding to notes :]
the next ym2612
thank you for the quality i can chop it
go for it! send it to me thou, I want to hear it!
How do you even get it to play sound?
Using the tone feature!
Sounds awesome dude! Do you mind if I sample it?
Go ahead! :]
reminds me a lot of the ambient 1 album by STRFKR
Whoa 😳 would you mind scrolling down to show the kinds of equations you used? I'm trying to recreate this cuz it's really cool but I can't figure out how sound waves work 😭
EDIT nvm you can just put a list in the tone function lol
tone(2^(A/12) * 440)
Can you share the graph link?
How do you do this please tell me
using the tone function, you can play a specific Hz! :]
heck yeah
This sounds extremely close to God Only Knows chords but major 3rd higher, would be a cool idea
Yess I love the Beach Boys :]
ok now i have to one up you
How in the hell 😂
do helpless child by swans
banger
Someday i"ll start producing in Exel. But, that's an other story.
wait... new video idea?!
I did not just witness this. 🤪
Great minds think a like I guess.
What a neat approach :)
Please slide the chord progression I beg 🙏🙏🙏
I don't know it, I kinda just made it up, but you can get it if you put the numbers to the right on a chromatic scale i think :]
I'm pretty sure you can't do waveforms in desmos. How did you do this?
using the tone function, you can make sounds, and a wave function separately. The wave doesn't actually cause the music, I just pair them up :]
I want a link :)
Resolve
how ??!!
