- Understanding how to manipulate LFO phase points might sound like science fiction to some, but its easily my most used sound design tip and trick when it comes to creating organic textures from synths. This is great especially for ambient synth music, or honestly anywhere. Apply this with rhytmic modulation, or if you sync the LFOs to the tempo.. game over. So good!

'I've wanted to talk about this for a while but it's pretty nerdy'.
Absolutely no one leaves the room.
I can tell you from experience that making a beautiful sound like this with NOBODY in person to hear it, makes me wanna cry... EVERY TIME!!!
One weird trick, synthesiser manufacturers hate him!
hahaha i wanted to name it something like that too. Doctors hate when patients know about LFOs
Ten Synth Secrets anyone needs to know.
Number five made me cry!
Take this simple quiz about LFOs and we'll predict the name of your next patch! (Yes, it really works!)
@@isweartofuckinggod I got Hagrid- keeper of the keys and grounds. My patch is both a father figure and a friend.
That's sooo like my next patch.
ahahah literally saw this in my suggested feed rolled my eyes and said okay fine you got me. glad i clicked tho 😂
It's been a long time since a music production video has made me smile this much. Your love and passion is infectious and it's a joy to watch you still exhibit as much wide eyed child excitement as you probably did the first time you used a synth.
Watching the last 60 seconds made me realise I'd hire you in a heartbeat if I owned a synth compamy.
Subbing and will be back often to enjoy your show Ricky.
Been struggling to find motivatation for music recently, but after watching this all I wanna do is storm out of the office, drive home and jam. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep it up.
“LFOs. Don’t know what to tell you. Use them.” Wow, what sage advice!
that was an entire ambient composition in a single patch wow
exactly!!! its crazy
You blissed out at the end
Glad you had a moment.
what does "patch" here mean ? i always thought that a patch on my Circuit would be like a synth-settings patch ?
Free Jay - patch, as in how the synthesizer has all it’s settings set.
@@sebastianshuster5229 thanks! apparently this is a term for "many synths then :)
I absolutely LOVE this guys enthusiasm for sound design. Seems really chill too. Seems like the type of guy I'd chill with while messing around with synths and smoking some bud :D
Got my Summit this week. This tutorial is by far the most valuable I've seen so far. This gives so much insight. Trying everything you do at this moment. There is a world to explore
Part of the beauty of modern synths is discovering all this power. Vintage synths... are very cool and led us to where we are. But modern synths with great tuning and multiple LFO's and powerful routing configuarations. Yeah, gimme that!

I'll take ten!
Never feel embarrassed about getting excited over nerdery. These are the moments we all connect with you the deepest, hermano. ^_^
That was astonishing Enrique! I actually found the part at the end very moving. Thank you, from one nerd to another. The geek shall inherit the earth.
The enthusiasm with which you explain all this stuff is infectious. I just found out about your channel and can't wait to see the rest of your videos. Keep it up Ricky.
Woooo Welcome Greg, stay as long as you'd like. I appreciate the kind words
one thing i love about your vids is how much in depth you go while explaining the subject of the video, but then as soon as you send us off you go totally nuts with the synth. great stuff!
This is such an incredible piece of work. The depth of the content, the light style of explaining it and the beauty of the sounds. Thanks so much!
I love how excited you are about what you are teaching! Makes me more excited to learn. Thank you
Thanks so much for sharing this trick Ricky. I was able to get it going on the Peak and breathe new life into patches.
Your videos are uplifting!
More of these please! This is fantastic. And I love how easy the Peak is to understand.!
„This was an initialized patch not long ago..“ Since working with Peak this thought has appeared so often in my mind. Such a versatile and lovely instrument. Thanks for this great information!
This was a really great video. The synth techniques are of course totally inspiring, but more than that, the video was just super calm and a pleasure to watch. Thank you
Your enthusiasm is so contagious. I am returning to sound design after being away for over 30 years. This was inspiring.
This is so cool! I've just started messing around a bit with LFOs on my Peak. The way you manage to make this synth sound just makes me fall in love with it more and more.
its crazy how far you can push it. and the wavetale OSCs give each patch a new sound and texture to start from which is nice. vs the traditional analog waveshapes that can feel rinsed pretty quickly.
Dude. Full good vibes on this channel and the way you go over things. Draws one in and maintains attention voluntarily. Thanks for making this. Was super solid to watch and learned a lot. 🤙
Also - could totally feel that shift into happy inspirational buzz when you turned fixed chord off (@17:24) and then sunk into that progression and let it journey. That shit was beautiful. Haha thanks again homie!
Dude, I know nothing at all about music or synths but I keep coming back. I just enjoy watching someone with such intimate knowledge of the topic. I wish I had a subject for which I had such expertise.
This was a seriously great lesson in using LFO’s , I never thought of doing this but I’ll be trying it and using it a lot , thank you
Amazing video man. I have learned so much from you already, and this took things to the next level. So excited to take some time playing with this tomorrow!!
RICKY YOU ARE A GENEROUS MAN!!!!! Thank you for caring. For the detail. For the passion.
That Jam at the end was epic! Great work and great video. Props!
Beautiful examples here Ricky. The idea of the LFOs for each voice being in sync but starting at different phase points is brilliant - you can't hear them, but they're off and running in the background, waiting for something to be played so they can do their thing...nice! Many thanks.
Awesome! I love this kind of thing that happens, when your knowledge in two separate fields gives you a unique insight (in this case, the synth circuit/engineering and the music)
I loved hearing you jam out on something a bit more ambient than usual at the end. Great patch!
Damn... definitely to check this out on my Peak. Always learn something new when I watch these vids man, thanks for sharing this great tip!
Your reactions to the things you do are the absolute best part of your videos. So good.
This is may favorite of your videos by far. I don’t even have a Peak but i’m obsessed with this video
The DeepMind 12 has that implemented in a much more convenient way: You do not have to set that for each LFO but instead you select:
* Key Sync on/off
* Phase poly/mono/spread (selectable 0-180°)
got my DM12 here and was like "ah..would love to do that aswell...but dont have those options" and then i saw your comment. Thanks buddie!
but you aren't able to make the rhythm yourself
When you take off the headphones at the end, that's the synth nerd equivalent to a mic drop.
Technically it actually is a mic drop because technically all headphones would also work as a (bad) microphone.
@@juschu85 Wow, that brings back memories! I used to do that as a kid, my friend and I would record whole songs that way. Good times!
Loved this vid. More sound design stuff man! Great job- phase points dude... I did not know that. Can’t wait to try it out!
Wow this is freaking amazing ... like its own sequencer ... thank you as always Ricky I love watching
When those unsynched LFOs first kicked in I almost had tears in my eyes. So moving. Man, this video is awesome. I could watch this forever. THANKS! (Plus, now I have to get a Peak haha)
Loving your enthusiasm. Great tutorial! I wish I had more time to watch!
Dude thanks. I got a peak a couple of weeks ago and I've been looking for ways to add more movement to my patches. This is perfect! Great vid
This is one of the best tips I’ve heard, and I haven’t seen this anywhere else!
Best music youtube channel by a long way, thank you for all of the great content! Looking forward to more as always!
Love the enthusiasm, mate :) It was indeed a truly lovely sound, at the part when you said "oof, I'm done". Warm, smooth sounds, with a little rhythm to it. Good stuff.
That was super inspiring and beautiful. Never tried the reset trick of lfo like that. Thank you so much keep them coming!! 👏👏👏
Thank you so much, man. I have a Korg Minilogue XD and I was always confused about why the Envelope Generator was synced to each voice, but the LFO wasn't. It was listed as something I didn't understand, so I never messed with it. Now numerous patches are exactly what I wanted them to be. Thanks again!
i love your channel man. i may not speak out in the comments but i watch every video and you influence my sound design and gear purchases man. thanks for everything you do. It's greatly appreciated.
That was amazing at the end! I gotta do some menu diving with my MicroKorg but this inspired me to create some new patches using LFO's to my advantage. Thank you for this.
Damn that was a strong finish. That take of your studio still and silent after what you achieved with the peak was just wow
This is a really cool technique. You have done a great job of helping me better understand how modulation can be used to create motion in patches. This is something I often hear but can't intuitively replicate in my head because modulation can get pretty complex pretty quickly. I will have to do more experimenting and learning because it's probably one of the coolest aspects of a synthesizer.
You just made my day. Thank you for making this video. Wow!
Great tutorials man ! I like the vibe how u explain things is so chilled ;) no stress only passion for music
Ricky, I'd love to see some more Peak videos. Your tutorials are the best ✌️
My sincere thanks for all of your work! I love your reaction to a good patch; all of us synth nerds do that, and it's a source of joy.
Absolutely loved this video! Learned some new things that I'm pretty sure I can bring to my Deepmind 12. As it is I already love the parameter drift capability on it and often set my lfo's to different things like you did here. If I actually have one per voice that I can set free like that to the different voices though I will be incredibly stoked! I love LFO's and this is is like learning instead of 2 I might actually have 2 for each of the 12 voices? That's insane to even think about!
Hey did it work on the deepmind?
Hey man, thank you! This just opened a whole bag of ideas in my head! Awesome! 🤩
Freaky!I like it!gotta watch again...big ups
Thanks for this great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge of these magical tricks!
Brilliant tip, thank you so much! Korg Prologue users can menu dive to achieve this.
Edit Mode > Program Edit. 5th Red glowing button press till > LFO KEY Sync ON / LFO Voice Sync Off / EG Velocity (value). Don't forget to set LFO RATE and INT.
Can the Minilogue or Minilogue xd come anywhere close to doing this? I know my OG Minilogue can't. Unless I don't know it as much as I thought I did.
Mikeureko wondering the same thing. I'll try it out on my Minilogue xd later today and let you know
nohpetsallowed any luck? I’m going to try too!
Mikeureko’s Prologue settings work about the same for the Minilogue! Got some wild dancing oscillators going on.
Settings work just a little differently on the Minilogue XD at least: hit edit mode and then press the fourth lit button on the sequence bar to change the LFO settings. EG settings are the fifth light.
@@RobbekenSynthMusic brilliant - thanks for following up.
YES!!! I have a Peak and love it, please keep the these videos coming!
Love the videos Ricky, one of the most helpful Modular and gear heads out there, WILLING to share knowledge. lots of them out there, but you're a gem.
Too kind! thank you so much.
Very very cool. Those are some awesome sounding patches.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is beautiful, Ricky. Thanks.
Awesome seeing how much fun you have man! Love it!
I feel like you’re trying really hard NOT to sell me peak and it’s not working. Great vid as always!
He sold me a Peak... not sorry about that purchase at all! (He also sold me a Digitakt too...so... I think Ricky Tinez is bad for my wallet!) :-)
@@MrMarcLaflamme hahaha oops!
@@RickyTinez I just started exploring mine, and dammit! It's pretty great.
@@MrMarcLaflamme is this overpower my ye aulde Virus-B?
Great ad for peak though :)
I love those ideas and new ways of working that sometimes comes with familiarity with a synth!
Very useful hints here mate, thanks again
This is such a sick demonstration. Love it.
Hey Ricky... Love your enthusiasm! KILLER Sounds / Vibe. Respect.
Oh man I have so much to learn... awesome vid dude
Nicely done. Love the Peak!
Nice one! Really like your enthusiasm, keep it up!
Amazing content, keep it up! Loving the Peak videos!
It is a good tip. I've been making sounds since the 90s but had'nt thought of this, definately will try it out!
That is indeed a very fun trick, I love little tricks like these in synthesisers. It's really fun finding new tricks by experimenting.
thank you! I've been aware of trying to achieve this on my peak but didn't know the right settings to use!!
I guess this is handled differently on different synths. Sometimes you just don't get the option. Sometimes you set the LFO to be used as an envelope. Sometimes you create an envelope with a repeating section...
@Ricky Tinez - You need to make more videos at this level! with you 100%! It's clear you have a lot of really deep knowledge to share, due to your closeness to the companies that design these things.
Dude that was extremely helpful insight! I am now sitting here staring at my (lately) not so much used Peak. I HAD NO IDEA. Time to plug some cords and get my hands on the keyboard.
Luvly stuff as usual!
Dude. Keep the peak videos coming !
Awesome tutorial on an often overlooked area of synths. You got a sub right here!

@@FunnyPhisto damn ok! Heard, i'll work on that today :)
@@RickyTinez And another one "Lfo's..... Lfo's"
You've opened my sound design mind
nice
more of these tip/tutorials please X
Holy moly, this tip really speaks to me dude, thank you so much for this. hopefully i can make this work on my deepmind as well
You got this! hopefully it works
Sounds really awesome - thanks a lot! I need to try this on my Peak!
some sweet sounds in this vid Ricky, amazing as always :)
Great explanation of this method, and very inspiring!
Really enjoyed watching tis this evening. Thank you.
Love my peak! Goosebumps while exploring from scratch = priceless.
YES boi, this is a very sweet trick indeed! Thanks for the intel m8!
@RickyTinez: Thanks for this awesome video. As some other guys on this channel I tried it immediately on my peak, virus ti2 and prophet rev 2. It's quite interesting that on rev 2 you can get a similar sounding effect pressing the key sync knob. Switching on the virus all of the lfos are oscillating as free as they should from the beginning. So this seems to be a special thing on the peak (may be a bug?) as switching on this great machine the lfos of each voice are in synchronized phase . Once you brought the lfos to real independing oscillating it works on every patch.
I love your passion man. great quality content
So cool! I just watched your LFO review of Digitakt, and this video really takes what you said there to another level of OHHH! :D
Such a great tip!!!!! And damn what an amazing synth the Peak
Thanks for your explanation!! You made more sense than others that have attempted to
Love your sound and reaction!!
Synths are the things that connect your soul to the world. Man that sounded massive
