- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ส.ค. 2019
- In this video I'm going to go over as much of Sytrus as possible so that you can more easily navigate your way through this plugin, and start making your own sounds from scratch. Even though this synth has been around for a long time, it's capable of doing a LOT of different things. There's a lot to cover in this video, so I'm going to do my best to at least talk about all the main things you need to know about, but if there's something that you feel is really important that I left out of the tutorial please leave a comment below and let everyone know! Hope you enjoy the video!

#sytrus #tutorial #flstudio - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
edit: there are other ways you can do this efficiently because many people have reported that the following doesn’t work: 6:03 you actually can automate anything in any plugin. Just because thee's not a 'create automation' option that doesn't mean that you can't automate it. Just tweak the thing that you want to automate and then immediately go to tools and then at 'last tweaked' and then 'create automation clip' and there you have it
hi bitch whoa I did not know about that. That’s awesome. I’m going to have to check that out. Thanks!
hi bitch lol I just got into sound design and that was a recent technique I learned. So when he mentioned you couldn’t automate some dials I tried it with automate last tweaked and felt smart
is it supposed to work with the knobs in the matrix on the right??? because everytime i try to use the last tweaked button to automate these knobs it creates an automation clip for the pitch instead and i don't understand why... if anybody can help me
edit: i don't think you are right. some of the knobs on sytrus are not automatable!
@@alexad7570 Its never given me this problem, You have to make sure you dont touch anything else before hitting the option in 'tools'
@@AnotherMonster You know everything about Sytrus, complexe things that I don't even understand (even when you talk about it) but you didn't know you could automate last tweaked ? 😂

man... great tutorial. 12 min I started to kinda melt. from there on I feel like you could go deep as possible. you freely gave a clean guidebook. I really hope that beyond likes and subs you get really good donations for your efforts.
You are highly underrated bro, you deserve WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more subs! i appreciate you!
Tim Tilton I really appreciate that dude! Thanks
The ability explaining this synth in 27min is close to perfect .appreciate d this the most
Wow, almost everything u explained, I saw many videos, nobody does it. I liked and subscribed too bro. Keep it on.
This is great. The synth has so many options and complexity built into it that, at least for me, a tutorial was needed to explain some of it. Thank you very much! Also, for some reason I always misread it as STY-rus, and this is the first time I realized my mistake. lol
Dude you actually took the time to explain Sytrus! I don’t even think Image-Line bothered to do this lol haven’t seen one from them yet. You deserve a Sub (just subbed) and a box of hand sanitizers (i hear they’re very valuable these days) I had given up on Sytrus years ago primarily because it just wasn’t worth the CPU overload and the UI just looks overwhelming. I might have to give it a second chance.
Man. Killing it. Awesome. Seamless would be proud of you, big boy.
Glad I found you! I am new to FL20 BUT I need some understanding of Sytrus and man this is it! I want to customize sounds. Alot of people in Hop Hop use Omnisphere and I don't follow the leader. This is perfect! I will watch this video a few times to totally grasp it. But you proved there is so much potential here! I am excited AF now. I think people jump on Omnisphere because it is popular. Smh...After this view I had to sub! THANK YOU. Sytrus is still a puzzle but not as much now. Like anything else it is trial-and-error! Bless you bro for sharing!
Very helpful! I've been playing with this for a couple days now, automating the lfo speed, I need to make it more prominent somehow.
omg thank you sooo much i never knew you could put presets on the envelope tab and ive had this synth for 3 years!!!!
Wyatt Stotts glad the vid was helpful!
Nice tutorial! I think it would be worth mentioning that you can also import your own single cycles by dragging them directly on the operator (the image of the waveform). This substantially increase the types of sound you cat get out of Sytrus.
Always Aloof definitely worth mentioning. Thanks for that. Come to think of it I think all FL Studio synths have a way to import custom waveforms (except flex of course) is that true do you know?
@@AnotherMonster Not sure. The only other FL Synth I use is Harmor, and you can do the same thing there.
Cheers for this my brother, learned alot on this compated beauty of a video :)
I know quite a bit now from messing with the synth, but I like rewatching videos from everybody's take just to see if I hadn't thought of something.
Hey bro , I've been here from the first day to till date ( probably your first subscriber in Africa 😏) and love the way you make me understand stock plugins which, at one time I completely ignored
Vigor Kali hey dude. Thanks for letting me know. That’s awesome! I’m glad my tutorials are helpful for you.
No thank you...I was wandering if you could do a tutorial on slicex😊 it will greatly help
im drinking lemonade from the bottle whilst watching this video
That pfp plus the comment tho lolol.
@@oomfiekat oh god lmao
im drinking lemonade from the bottle whilst watching this video
i’m burning a police station down rn
What a ridicilous beast of army of a synth
hi!! awesome video. i want to ask you something: can i play a virtual synth with my electric guitar conected by an interface? and how to do it?
Hey. It was a really good video. Can you help me with getting rid of grand piano preset? I'm having trouble tuning it into a soft grand piano.
Does anyone know what frequency and wave shape analyzer plugins he was using?
Very precise explanation
Thx Dude, Stay safe!
GOLD !!! Thank you, mate.
You and In The Mix are the best places to learn about EDM and Sound Design! Most of the videos I watched are people just trying to troll, but your content is so in-depth yet digestible.
Thanks so much 🙏
But man what is best settings for quality? I mean oversampling.
I only use presets on sytrus since I'm not too good at sound design . So I just use them as is are there any tips on how to make them sound better
How do I access the midi out and the midi in channels in Sytrus?
If I have a song or sound on the Playlist, How do I get it Into Sytrus?
so im using sytrus, how do i cut any sound when it finish playing a pattern?
What font did you use in the beginning of the video for the word "Sytrus"
Is it that the filter in sytrus sounds cheap?
You rocked it bro....💜
Are there different versions of Sytrus? I've got FL Studio 12 Producer and it has Sytrus but it doesn't look like what you have in the video.
How do manipulate the envelope and have it stay to the parameters u have set, because every time I move the points on the envelope it just automatically reverts back to default settings 🤔 .. . Please help
Hi bro, good job.
Could you do a video on Voxengo Span routing/settings, please?
Fixed frequency for the operators is useful when you want to modulate stuff at a set frequency. Set one of the Operators at the fixed frequency you want FM/RM the others and it won't follow the pitches you're playing. It can do from LFO to musical pitches.
Say you want to add some subtle vibrato to a sound: set Operator 6 to a fixed 4 - 6hz, modulate all the other Operators by this one and there you go. Then you have the options of either setting the Mod Envelope on the other Operators to bring this into the sound or, set the Volume Envelope on Operator 6 to do the same thing.
Everson Bernardes awesome. I’m going to have to experiment with it. Thanks for this!!
Thanks man very helpful tutorial
Thank you bro!
Bruh how do you cut a sound? Like on a normal drum sound you can do the envelope where it cuts when the sound is done how do I do this here
how to record the modulation movements?
Nice video man!
really helpful , i appreciate you bro
Keito np!
It"s not a free/stock plugin for me? Can anybody help me?
I tried to follow along but it seems that my knobs don't have any effect on the sound what so ever. So I gave up after 30 minutes.
I guess my Sytrus is broken?
How do you reverse notes in it
Hey bruh..! Can you make tutorials on usage of SERUM plugin in sound design..
I heard in another tutorial that if you can't right click on function you want to automate you can just move the function with your mouse, then with out clicking kn anything else, go to tools>last tweaked>create automation clip and it should work. Hopefully that works for you.
Good Tuturial
Killin it David 😎💯
Ben Gursky thanks dude!
Como se llama ese programa?
I’m now a pro, thanks!!!
Thank you so much for the tutorial!
Also have a great day! And can you help me? Do you know why when i fm something at a lower octave it sounds like it lfos the sound and when it's higher it's without the lfo? Do you know how can i fix this? :D Thanks in advance !
Eq filter ? Bring out the bass?
@@makethisabeat no i have same problem... when im picking sytrus soung in channel rack its not overing i want sound like throwaway please explain me
The global volume envelope kind of never works for me. No matter what I do with it, there seems to be no effect.
How do I make the sounds continuous like a pad for example
It’s the sustain in the envelope. Here’s a tutorial on how to make pads in sytrus: th-cam.com/video/X9qSV4vwmIE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much :D
Subscribed!
You deserve more subscribers ☺
Ahlan Hasib thank you 🙏
great tutorial.. and i like this plugin.. but plugins always make me so confused.. can you explain how ppl choose plugins? are Sytrus and Nexus are the same point? why many ppl dont use Sytrus if it has so many options for producers?
guy y I think because sytrus is so complex. It’s a bit confusing. And it’s a stock plugin which makes people think it’s not as good
Nice. Thank you. This helped me to understand how this synth works.
That's a pretty damn good viedo!
Props!
Lars Plewa thank you. I appreciate that! Hope it was helpful!
@@AnotherMonster 100% Bro
thanks alot man
jojocheckitout np!
you great! :)
#Awesom vdo bro...Can u make a few of the seamless vdo bcoz i think most of us find his vdos hard to understand coz he speak too fast ...
thanks!!
thx!
This was very helpful, Can you do a nice tutorial about vocoder plugin too...
BEWO music good idea. I’ll see what I can come up with
you can automate any knob in sytrus using patcher
You can automate the faders. I forgot how, but you can.
"sElF ExPlAnAtArY"
All you have to do is to hire an intern to turn knobs for hours so you can say "yes" or "no" after every tweak
How do I stop a synth that continues and has a reverbed tail after I stopped the song from playing? Sounds like a very long decay or release I’m trying to figure it out on this styrus
Gt Beatz if it’s not reverb then it probably is the decay. Check all the active operators to see if one has a really long decay tail on the envelope
Another Monster Productions ok ima have to check again later once I get home from work I appreciate the fast response 🙏
can we use it in cubase or any other DAW....?
Jk records I think so. You’ll have to check on image-lines website to see if they sell it as a standalone vst
Thanks for the hard work you put into this. Unfortunately I didn't really understand anything about operators or what they are or how they relate to each other, which is what I wanted to learn :(
tuber12321 maybe try taking a look at some of my other sytrus tutorials where I actually make some presets. What do you not understand about it?
@@AnotherMonster Thanks for responding. I think I figured it out. "Operator" means something like "oscillator with lots of other controls." And operators are related to each other either through subtractive synthesis (by sending each row directly to the output), or can be used to pitch/ring modulate each other (by selecting the FM/RM tab and enabling the columns that you want to use as modulators for each row). Sorry if you already explained all of this.
I've been using FL for over a year and I had no clue how the fuck this synth worked
Just curious why don't you upload music to SoundCloud anymore?
Stefan Marshall lol I haven’t uploaded anything in like 5 years. Tbh I went through a stage where I felt like nothing was as good as I wanted it to be. But I do eventually want to start releasing music again. Recently I’ve just been making beats to sell and also working with some artists around Atlanta. And then I experiment with making random genres for fun sometimes in my free time
これは最強のシンセサイザー
Nice
This channel is gold! I am using these tips&tricks also on FL 11 :D
another monster you need to make a video about vital a new good free synth try it out, for me a very good synth similair to serum
I use it for My Super Saw Trance Breakdown Pad
>Sytrua tutorial
>30 minutes long
Yeah. That’s about what I expected. 😂
Lol yup. I tried to go as fast as possible too
Mojito I’ve got more sytrus sound design videos. Check those out!
Mine echos, how do I turn it off?
I don't know how to turn it off, but you can search in the presets (next to the closing cross) to find a sound without the echo.
Gr8!! Stuff 👍👍
Can ya share few...free plugins links....(Which Can Convert The Lyrics To Piano Note's).
Hello Another Monster,
Don't know if you will notice my comment. But I'm using stock plugins so I rlly use sytrus/gms/sakura/omnisphere a lot to mimic nexus/sylength. HELPFUl! Big thank you from China!
JuliusPF Ho glad it helped!
Idk, the songs I listen to would never have these woooop sounds, where the heck do I get sounds from, we hear in radio or elsewhere?
ylrae this tutorial is teaching you how sytrus works. If you want to learn how to make specific sounds in sytrus check out my other tutorials. If you just want sounds you should look into getting some presets. Synths like serum, nexus, omnisphere, sylenth, etc will have tons of presets from tons of companies and producers
@@AnotherMonster thanks for your answer fam, I appreciate it. Which vsti would you recommend for modern lead melodies (rich pads, bells, guitars,...)
ylrae omnisphere has the biggest selection of all that stuff but it’s huge and expensive. Iota mini is a good place to start it’s a free plugin with about 50 really nice presets
Great work buddy! Good for beginners.
Solar Heavy thanks. I appreciate that!
Yamaha dx7 presets exist in fl studio 10?
How can i find Yamaha dx7 presets in fl studio 10?
Shahnewaz manto I don’t think you can. You have to import them
@@AnotherMonster where & how to import?
How can we do a future bass sound like Illenium by using only sytrus
Solar electron Music I can probably do a tutorial on it. It’s not hard
It’s all supersaw based. Make a supersaw and then tweak it. You could probably make a couple presets and layer them to make it sound more full. And then you could experiment with fx
Another Monster Productions thanks a lot ! Because I am 99%new to fl and don’t really know how to work on sytrus
So like every button or step need to know what is happening #completely.new #newby
Btw what plugins should we buy (recommended ? Or what plugins for progressive house ?
Solar electron Music I recommend getting serum. It’s the most used so you’re going to be able to find a lot of good presets. Plus it’s got the best GUI for actually learning and understanding sound design imo
However you can do a lot with stock fl studio and free synths like helm and synth1
6:00 im over here like im finna automate those sliders and hes like “ well you cant automate them” 😂
but you can
@@titaan814 I dont know if you realize how golden these two comments are
thanks, i'm determined to suss out sytrus now (can't afford serum or sylenth) and this is a very imformative vid :) you skipped over the main tabs adsr and filter adsr mentioning "additive" and "subtractive", I've watched three of your sytrus vids and you don't really play with these I've noticed, I;m not sure what I'm asking now lol! But - can sytrus potentially make Trance genre sounds to compete with serum and sylenth, I know Trance isn't your genre and any light you can share will be very appreciated, cheers :-}
Neil MacD I’d say it definitely can compete with those synths. I don’t really mess with the adsr section you’re talking about because I always use the one within the operator in the envelope. I haven’t really tried to make any super complex sounds using sytrus yet so I’m sure it might be useful in certain situations. I’d say pretty much all synths do some form of subtractive synthesis. Basically any time you add a filter onto your sound that’s subtractive. As far as additive synthesis it’s not like harmor which is designed to be an additive synth and has crazy potential to do all sorts of things. But there is the option to do some simple additive syntheses in sytrus. Basically the concept is you’re stacking sine waves on each other to create a more complex waveform
@@AnotherMonster thanks for explaining it, that detail helps, more practice for me to do and I look forward to the next vids and getting some neat sytrus sounds out :)
Neil MacD at some point I’ll try to release a free preset pack too
You can write a whole book on this one synth
Fr omg
Okay...where's the bottle of aspirins? 😂 I have used the presets only, because it is too much to learn, but even with the presets I have lots of fun. I'm still trying to learn it....in the meantime...presets....Question: How long did it take you to learn all the stuff?
JNB lol it’s a lot for sure. Actually using presets and taking a look at how they were made by reverse engineering the sound can be a good way to help you learn the synth a bit better. Once you have a decent fundamental understanding of sound design it’s not to difficult to figure out most synths. FM is definitely a weaker point for me right now. And sytrus is especially insane because there’s just so much you can do. I’ve been really learning all the ins and outs of this synth for a couple months now.
another monster production Thank you for replying! Reverse engineering...like reverse psychology...excellent analogy....LOL....I will certainly do that!
I'd add one thing to this tutorial - you keep saying all creative and crazy thing one can do here, but you never really pause it all and say - let's create something crazy (not very complex)now... and just do it. Hands on sort of. For those who don't know what creative and crazy means in this case :)
Otherwise , it's a nice overview of this synth, lesser tutorial perhaps... just missed "Let's make a sound". Cheers.
Dmitri Terletski Yeah I knew this tutorial was going to be super long and I didn’t want to drag it out any longer than necessary, but I do have some more sytrus tutorials on here where we actually dive in and make specific sounds. I think those can be a bit more helpful for a lot of people, but I still wanted to do a complete walk through of the plugin because it’s so complex and confusing for beginners
@@AnotherMonster Well, its a great walk through indeed. No complains. I use Sytrus often enough, but rarely go deep and mostly using trial and error style, so for me, this tutorial is pre-etty cool. As far as what you can get if you want to design a new preset! ... never saw anyone taking this task on, just to really show a full potential of this synth. I'll check your other videos, man.
Dmitri Terletski it’s definitely a powerful synth. Sometimes experimenting like that is the best way, but it’s good to know what you’re doing as well. Hope you find the other tutorials helpful!
What about gating?
PancorTV check the extra stuff you need to know about time stamp. I mention it briefly
@@AnotherMonster ok
its impossible to make a good sound it just feels lke everything controls volume or pitch. i really dont understand. i will never make a song if i have to learn this sht :(
You went a little too quick over the envelope section because you missed the option to create a sequence which allows you to create arps or even melody. It's in the envelope window, click the little arrow to the lower right of the ADSR knobs. ;-) You're welcome!
Ooh, just caught it. Excellent. Can you work faster so I can get my daily dose?
Cricri I wish I could work faster! This tutorial was very time consuming! Hah
@@AnotherMonster Get yourself some minions.
Cricri that would be very helpful
@@AnotherMonster I'll send you some but they only speak French. Seriously, thanks for the tut. I ignore Sytrus because I can't use it. Yet it produces some great sounds. This should fix my shortcomings (well, the Sytrus ones, anyway).
Cricri yes. It’s an extremely powerful synth. Glad you liked the tut. Guess it’s time to learn French lol
hey i think you made a bit of a mistake in your explanation: "digital frequency modulation is actually phase modulation". digital FM is called FSK = frequency shift keying, while digital PM is called PSK = phase shift keying. you may have confused the two because you can demodulate an FSK by looking at the phase differential (grossly oversimplified but i doubt anyone cares about the actual math) or by misunderstanding continuous phase FSK?
G. S. I’m definitely not an expert in the science of this stuff, but I think I said it correctly. I don’t think FSK or PSK have anything to do with digital synths. Its possible I’m incorrect, but I’ve never heard the term PSK when referring to digital FM synthesis.
@@AnotherMonster alright, it seems we're both somewhat correct but i spoke too soon. the terms psk and fsk come from radio communications, wich is probably why you never heard them. they are used to transmit digital signals. now about the original "mistake": the phrasing was just a bit weird, but i looked a bit deeper into it and did a bit of maths. digital frequency modulation synthesis, according to wikipedia, is typically implemented as a phase modulated signal. what this means is, that a "regular" FM is that your basic signal is multiplied with a modulating signal: f(t) = sin(2*pi*f_signal*t) * sin(2*pi*f_mod*t). what "implemented as a phase modulated signal" means is: f(t) = sin(2*pi*f_signal*t + sin(2*pi*f_mod*t)). if you apply some trigonometry to one of the terms and shuffle it around a bit you realize they are actually the same but written in a different way, but the latter probably easier to implement physically. in conclusion, i was wrong in comparing it to FSK, as purpose, usecase and implementation are different, even though the math is the same. you were "wrong" in that it is a frequency modulation, but in the case of continuous signals, FM and PM are effectively the same, mathematically speaking.
G. S. This is cool. Thanks for doing the research and sharing.
11:10 hope it Make sense xD / ^^
efde.... anyway this was usefull
