- Sweet Serum is an amazingly versatile synth, but a little lacking in terms of FM synthesis. In today's lesson, we learn what FM means and how we can use Ableton's Operator with Serum FX to create a sweet wumpus. Let's get started.

I have a four year degree in audio production. And this was oddly the best way I've ever heard/seen FM explained.
YOU DRAW THOSE DICKS
I’m starting my major in audio production very soon. Anything you’d like to share about it?
Please don't share dicks
@@b26awesome Don't do it
@@ericharp2294 dew it
This video should be used in schools to teach kids about sound design.
and dicks
Dave Lawlis 🤔 hmm
debating whether or not i should have my synthesis professor show this in class
And should be promoted for the entirety of Autism Awareness month.
Maybe cut the dick references to be less alienating
A beautiful, family-friendly tutorial again, love you ;)
Michael Batchelor What kind of moisturizer ya using mike? You’re glowing in that picture
"Beautiful woman Steve Dudu" instant like.
marry me
I love your videos dude!
That video killed me in less than 12 seconds.

winky dinks

Mann secondary dicks
Holy shit. This was funnier than most of the standup I see on Netflix.
Mixing the humor in with legitimate knowledge makes for an engaging tutorial. Do a sound design series with the Wavetable and other live synths.
for the midi routing part, you could easily make an instrument rack with the operator, add a parallel "External Instrument" Device and route the midi to SerumFX, no additional messy midi track needed.
I have never heard sound design described in "harder" terms... ;)
You, sir, have earned a new subscriber.
Welcome to the club.. Watch his older stuff.. SOOOO FUNNY
You're a very impressive educator. I really think you've found your calling in life.
WOWZERS, the phallus meta has modulated once again
man, every time I watch your videos, I literally understand how I suck at producing.
You're great
This is the single greatest tutorial I've ever seen
Very great concept man! Please do pad/ambient sound design with the Operator or anything else!
afxxxx
I second this
Yes!
Oh yeah pads !!!!!
nice aphex twin
This is inadvertently the best tutorial on FM that I've ever seen.
Subscribed for the phallio-centric synthesis.
This is possibly one of the most enjoyable tutorials i've ever watched. Really hoping all the other videos are like this.
I bet you've seen more but they all are truly funny
Finally! A video that actually explains how to synthasize sounds as opposed to just showing what knobs to tweak to generate a certain patch. Nice one!
Bro I been binging your videos for a just week and it has already drastically upped my game (sometimes I have to rewatch bcuz I was laughing too hard). Thanks so much for the plain English, super informative and hilarious tutorials. Much respect. Wowzers.
My brother isn't a producer or even a musician and he is over here dying of laughter. Thanks for this!
This is possibly the best, funniest and most well thought-out Operator tutorial in existence. I am passing this on to all my students. You sir, get a like and a new sub.
shit... i even rang that damn bell.
lol, "The Fundamental Phallus and The Secondary Dicks." great band name. (dibs?)
HARD CORE, sound design!!!!!
"Run it through social media!" Brilliant! That line is gonna get a lot of traction! Great name for a distortion pedal!
Never in my life subscribed faster.
SOCIAL MEDIA.
In a sea of hipster bedroom producers who think they are masters at their craft when most have not got a god damn clue, this dude knows his shit, and his teaching style is both hilarious and outstanding. Well done sir. Gold star for you, and a sub well earned.
Logic Live is better than FL Tools
Whaaaaaaaatttttt
@@deepakattri9094 didn't you know that? 😳
what the hell ??
i've used every daw ever created and i can confidently say Garagewalk is the best
Check out Cubase‘s Retrologue
To be honest I was so bothered by your act and catchphrases at first... Now you have grown on me. You are in my head and I think I am a fan.
The way you teach is just... so amazing even a logic pleb can learn.
Even a fl user.
Imma watching every single videos this guy’s doing. Right now.
dude, your videos always put me in a good mood. And then on top of that, your teaching skills are top class. Woot that's a solid 2 in 1. Much love
Operator has such a specifc tone.
Pitch ramps give it away instantly in tracks.
Love it for being lite on cpu and drawing your own waveforms.
Cool channel
Subbed!
"beautiful woman Steve Dudu"
Nearly fell out of my chair laughing lmao
same man, same
First time watcher and you just became my favorite tutor you've got a way with words dude keep it up xD
Oh man i forgot this channel for a while. Wowsers. Still fun, original content.
the humor kept me engaged and wanting to watch it again to absorb everything I missed the first time around. "Wowsers"!!!!!! lol 🙂
Another great tutorial, I love FM synthesizers. Though my go to vst is fm8 but I may try operator.
This is by far the greatest production video I've ever watched.
Next Video: Ableton's Analog is better than FM8 (For Subtractive Synthesis)
Lol from this guy's "simplicity is better" standpoint Sytrus blows Operator out of the water. But seriously, the whole point of wavetable synths is to *not* sound the same as everyone else, like using saw basses...
my thoughts exactly
Yeah he'll probably use FM8 FX to demonstrate too.
Dude, who needs fm synthesis when you pull out winky dinks…
@@soul_yt7842 however, most wavetables sound weak or muddy
this has been one of the most educational video ive ever watched, its equally as funny
Look man Im never gonna use operator because I dont have ableton suit but nonetheless this video gave me a better understanding of whats going on in FM and now I can Make even more wubby wubbs in serum, so thanks!
I assume it would apply to sytrus aswell if you use FL.
I'm kinda the opposite - I shelled out for Suite and can't afford Serum's exorbitant fees having done so. I wonder if there's an Ableton-only equivalent of the Serum effects setup they use here?
@@Skiamakhos there is, you can use envelope and lfo max for live devices to fire any knob on any device in the chain. search youtube for Ableton Live is a Modular Synth
Perhaps one of the most helpful videos I've come across.
I wanna buy this guy a beer. 😅 best channel I’ve found
Communicating hard to understand concepts in analogies & metaphors is a talent.. but using only hilarious analogies and metaphors makes you one of a kind. Well done
Dude, the climax had me actually laughing out loud. Or, lol for short! Excellent toot too man, thank you.
this is content.
i'm being entertained and educated at the same time.
i'd watch whatever you make
I'm dying this is perfection
this is the best educational video I have seen in my life
The next time I mix for my church, I'm going to have to pause for a long time before I say the word "harmonics"
THE BEST TH-cam CHANNEL
*W O W Z E R S*
This is the fucking greatest Ableton tutorial I've ever seen.
You earned a subscription sir. So good on multiple levels.
Peter Serrano same
I'm too busy laughing to watch the tutorial. Too funny.
Me too man, I'm in bits laughing here - "You're still the biggest dick in my heart Richard!" Lol!
And this is how you Sir just earned a new subscriber. Keep on going, amazing job!
Very effective teaching lmao. But really, I learned a lot. Thank you brotha!
Best teacher! Don’t stop posting tutorials. It’s entertaining & educational.
The Best FM tutorial I have seen, gr8 humour :D:D:D
Its Harmor.....like harmonization
Love the soothing commercial in the beginning
Wowzers! Richard's got a wompus on it's tippy- top! Is this a Rick and Morty episode?)))
I’m glad that my first ever video from you is about Richard 😃
12:22 is all you need
Never been able to watch a full tutorial with regular speed without skipping until today ! haha!
From this day forth, FM shalt be known as Richard Synthesis
Put Operator in an Instrument Rack. Create a new empty parallel chain inside that rack. Add Ext. Instrument device, the choose MIDI out as the channel that has SerumFX. It will now pop up in the 2nd drop down menu along with any other plugins on that channel that receive MIDI input. No need for another channel in the session! Continue adding parallel chains when you need additional MIDI triggers from that MIDI source
When will man kind realise that toxic biohazard is the ultimate synth.
Man you are born to make STAND UP COMEDY!!! You make my day !!!
8:33 I'm dead 😂
Let’s calm down a bit 🤣🤣🤣
I suck at sound design!!! I really needed this educational entertainment!!! Thanks! I never knew how to use operator well.
I love these videos, great and funny tutorials :D
One of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen
Maybe this is really basic but I'm wondering how I can trigger LFOtool in the same way he triggers Serum FX here? I tried the same technique with LFOtool but I'm not able to get it to work.
The best tut I've ever seen ever.... ever
when he casually slipped in the f bomb haha genius
So nobody is going to mention how hilarious that intro is?! 😂
This video made me bought abelton the next day.
How much was it?
This is the greatest video ever made
Awesome video and u got a funny phallus. Those same things can be done within Serum tho 😊
The intro was enough for me to subscribe 👍 well played, sir.
_Let's take another waveform and run it through Richard_
You had me at "Looks like we have just this one Big Phallus". That was hilarious
I think Image-Line's sytrus is Better than Ableton's Operator (for FM)

+Reaction :angry:
Sytrus murders operator in fm and as a bonus in rm, as an a priori ableton user.
Fax
Sytrus has really great FM, RM matrix, true that
Speaking my language! Best music production tutorials ever.
FM FROM 🅱
Add some 🅱istortion
🅱️ump up the saturation
🅾TT
Just add some 🅱️everb
Waoh man!!!... I had spend so many hours watching FM tutorials, and this is the firts one that really get me into... Excellent... Thanxs for the good vibes!!! Cheers
This tutorial is awesome I learnt a lot of useful things while laughing my ass off
Maaaan, we need more sound
design tutorials. The best teacher.
Underbelly, I come to you as a humble student. I use Ableton to record live instruments primarily. I’m in the market for a diverse synth plugin to use for auxiliary keyboards and interesting textures for my music. Should I get serum? What do you recommend to blend live instruments with midi? Thanks!
You can try Serum in a rent-to-own thing from Splice.com
Wowzers! I’ll check that out, thanks!
You're like the sarcastic Bob Ross of Ableton.
Love you
Thank you Underbelly I love your videos! I have a question too;
Is Serum FX separate from regular Serum? Or can I run operator through regular Serum as well? :)
you've done it, you've found the best explanation of FM synthesis! 💪⚡
what's the difference between Operator and Wavetable?
wavetables sample minute instances of a waveform(any sound of thy choice) and with fm, you have continual control of how a carrier manipulates an output. ( ps: in serum and such, a wavetable can be manipulated by a wave or waveform/tableof thy choices via fm too)
Sorry for much basic info. Both are are kick ass to surprise thy selfy.... Duckface.click
Nw lemmewatch video.mpg
XD
XD
Think of a wavetable as a wav or mp3 file. If you fast foward or rewind you will hear different parts of the song. Just as if you sweep through the wavetable you will hear different sounds. an operator is a static wave that can't be swept through but can be modulated tonally by other waveforms.
Dude! I've learnt more in this video than I have ever in music production! Thanks! Then you killed it at the end! Loved it!
Yo he called the EQ phallus Richard.
I'm done. 😂😂😂
This is the best thing I've ever seen.
Social media.... I just spilled my late
This is by far the most hilarious tutorial I have ever watched!!
Wowzerzz!!
Nice tips too!
the language in this :O
BEST teacher I have ever seen. Really, I learned something that I can actually use.
One of your best tutorials. Can do without the f bombs besides that though- great. I really liked the rainbird sprinkler system wall decor. 👍🏽 i started busting up laughing at "forest of Dicks" 🤣🤣🤣 seriously though your know how and technical knowledge shared with humor is so awesome. Humor helps with learning information that can be mundane and challenging to absorb. The education system could learn a thing or two or three from you Sir. You go Underbelly, you go!!!
The wumpus standing on the Operator comet made me shart with great severity
