Synthesizing with Moog | Lesson 5: Modulation

&with Moog&invites you on enlightening journey that answers complex question: how exactly do synthesizers work? Composer Morton Subotnick once said that sonic palette of synthesizer is determined not by number of components it contains but ways in which they can modulate each other. Modulation allows us to take static sounds and add movement to them – to create expressive motion like vibrato and tremolo, or to create new and novel textures. In this lesson we explore basics of modulation, using Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs) and envelopes to modulate pitch, timbre and amplitude and harnessing power of randomness to add unpredictable elements to our sounds. 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: | #Modulation Original video:
