    That explanation of how the Filter Envelope value relates to the difference between max and min cutoff.....and ties into ADSR settings was really great. Thank you!

    even as someone who has messed with synths for 2+ decades, i found this helpful. Justin has the natural ability to explain things clearly in the way of someone who recently discovered 'how these things work' recently themselves. They still find it interesting, and so its not hard to make it interesting for others. Kudos.

    Great series. Justin is a pretty good teacher because he explains as if you are just learning the subject. Many teach by showing what they know, how they know and if you don't know, you're only catching bits and pieces until the brain says, "Let's do something else because this is only making chaos up here." I'm stopping here at 5, because my brain is full and needs to digest this before it can add any more. (Burp...)

    Love this deep dive into how a volume envelope works, and how to push it to make weird and different sounds including extreme staccato and reverse shape, and explained very clearly why it's sounding the way it does. Great teacher. Here for a refresher, but still learned something new! Awesome job!

  • @Vimana
    @Vimana 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It was nice to see such a well presented and informative video about the subject. Using an envelope especially to control the filter's cutoff frequency is always important to get a livelier sound.
    I'd just like to point out that you can only get the sound between 9:35 and 10:05 when you have a synthesizer capable of oscillator sync. Some of you might be wondering why it sounds different to a normal pitch change.
    Anyway, that's a very good and useful example of how to use an envelope to change an oscillator's pitch because that's exactly how to get some of those classic osc sync sounds as well... Good job!

    Well done and helpful video. While watching, I had an epiphany to think of an envelope as controlling "the hand" that is adjusting the target knob of the envelope. So, the amplifier envelope is controlling the hand that is twisting the volume knob. The filter envelope is controlling the hand that is twisting the filter cutoff knob, etc. The envelope is telling the hand how quickly and how far to twist the knob up or down in value.

    The best way I've heard filter envelopes described is from loopop, who describes it as a way to automate turning the knobs like with a little robot hand. The envelope controls the speed and amount controls how far it turns the knob. Regardless, thank you for the lesson, I've only used AD filter envelopes and am looking at a pro 1 so I'm trying to get a feel for adsr envelopes beforehand

    @thomasnikzakrzewski4477 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very helpful. I really appreciate your use of the spectrograph with your explanations. Am I correct in understanding that the baseline from which Attack begins and Sustain ends is the filter at "no cutoff", the peak of the Attack is whatever cutoff you initially set PLUS the EG Intensity, and the Sustain is whatever you set the cutoff to initially?

  • @jamesperez6964
    @jamesperez6964 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The whole paradox with the increasing frequency when the envelope filter setting is turned up has to do with the fact that a widening envelope increases the amount of time for constructive interference to occur with the low frequency source, producing a higher frequency.

  • @beholder2012
    @beholder2012 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Justin, you said: "The filter envelope is shaping the frequency content of the sound", which still doesn't explain HOW is it shaping that "frequency content". Well I found straightforward explanation here: th-cam.com/video/R1B-KzFmPQ4/w-d-xo.html (I recommend it to all of you having - as I had - problem with understanding what "filter envelopes" are meant for).
    So filter envelope tells us how much the selected filter is affecting the sound spectrum OVER TIME (how is its influence on the sound over time) - similar way, as amplitude envelope says how the loudness of sound changes over time. Actually that's all that was needed to be said.
    So filter envelope allows us to transform "static filter" into "dynamic filter".
    P.S. OK, I see you mentioned it briefly in Part 3 ( 06:38 ).

  • @denny_prod8892
    @denny_prod8892 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I still don't understand why, in the beginning, when he was explaining sounds that have immediate attack and release, he turned the decay up all the way. If he was going to turn up the sustain all the way, why would he need to use decay at all?

    • @slipinlizard9394
      @slipinlizard9394 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You are 100% correct. When he says "full decay, which means basically no decay", he's actually got it backwards. Full decay would mean the maximum amount of time to go from the full volume of the sound (attack) to the sustain volume. When sustain is set to maximum, the decay setting is irrelevant.
