LESSON 8 Free Beginner Tutorials Series An Introduction to Envelopes Envelopes are an additional type of modulator that can really breathe some life into your patches. Here we'll go over the basics, identify all the envelopes available within analog, and then hear some examples using Analog's amplitude envelope. You're going to want to get to [...]

LESSON 7 Free Beginner Tutorials Series An Introduction To Modulation Modulation is how synthesis and sound design really starts to gain its color and sparkle. Up to this point we've only covered the basic signal path of oscillators creating audio, filters contouring that audio, and then the amplifier outputting that audio. Next we will go [...]

LESSON 5 Free Beginner Tutorials Series The Four Basic Filter Types Analog offers each of the four basic filter types low pass, high pass, band pass, and notch pass. These intuitively named configurations function just as they sound. Low-pass filters allow only the lower frequencies to pass and be heard silencing anything above the cutoff [...]

LESSON 4 Free Beginner Tutorials Series An introduction To Filters In subtractive synthesis filters play a Monumental role as they are the tool that subtracts frequencies in order to derive a new sound. Getting to know filters well will transfer over into other synthesis types as well as mixing techniques as an EQ is essentially [...]

LESSON 6 Free Beginner Tutorials Series Monophonic VS Polyphonic & Glide In the global section of analog there's an option called voice which controls the number of notes that may be played simultaneously by the instrument. This dictates whether the patch will be monophonic or polyphonic. When Analog is set to mono it is only [...]

LESSON 3 Free Beginner Tutorials Series Tuning & Layering Oscillators In the previous lesson we went over the choice of your wave forms and how this will influence the sound of a patch.  Next we will talk about pitching oscillators up and down from each other.  In analog a given oscillator's pitch can be manipulated [...]

LESSON 2 Free Beginner Tutorials Series Analog’s Oscillator Overview Oscillators are the origin of all sound within a synthesizer. Analog has two oscillators as seen in the UI labeled 1 and 2. Between the two oscillators there is also a noise generator which is another type of oscillator that produces white noise of every frequency. [...]

LESSON 1 Free Beginner Tutorials Series An Introduction To Subtractive Synthesis Using Ableton’s Analog Virtual Instruments Ableton's Analog is an example of a subtractive synthesizer. Typically a subtractive synthesizer is made up of three parts that operate in series; the oscillators, the filters and the amplifiers. The oscillators function is to create the raw waveforms [...]
