Synthesizing with Moog | Lesson 6: Carrier

&with Moog&invites you on enlightening journey that answers complex question: how exactly do synthesizers work? In 1970s, composer John Chowning used early computers to experiment with extreme vibrato effects. Modulating pitch of sound with LFO gives nice vibrato, but raise frequency of LFO into audio rate and all of sudden dense new textures are created. In this episode we look at how to create harmonics using basic waveshapes through processes such as Frequency Modulation (FM), Amplitude Modulation (AM) and distortion effects like saturation and wavefolding. Written, hosted, filmed and produced by our team of electronic musical instrument experts, this new seven-part educational video series makes learning fundamentals of synthesis accessible, engaging and inspiring for anyone curious about science, music and how two worlds converge. We set out to create series that brings you as much technical knowledge as it does entertainment and joy as you watch each episode! Playlist: | #Carrier Original video:
