Synthesis Tips for Beginners

^^Thanks, guys. If anyone has any other info, please share.

One last thing to note about filters: keyboard tracking. Keyboard tracking allows you to control the cutoff frequency of the filter based on the velocity of the note. Higher velocity equals a higher cutoff and lower velocity equals a lower cutoff, both relative to the actual cutoff, of course. No keyboard tracking means that the cutoff will stay the same regardless of velocity. Just use it for a more natural sound.

Nope. Keytrack follows the key of the note (as the name says). So: The higher the note (not the velocity) the higher is the cutoff point.
To modulate the cutoff point with the velocity you have to route it there

Anything else: Great thing! Not too complicated and technical enough

Hmm. I stand corrected. Thanks for that.

Posts like this make me proud to have you guys on my forum!

One day I'd love to put together a video with this kinda stuff. Essentially build a curriculum for sound design - anyone been on khanacademy.org? Kinda like the maths syllabus tree on that:



Feel free to skim it (the full thing is quite long (but frickin' interesting imo)), but you get the idea!

I think it's called a knowledge map. Like technology/skill trees in video games.

that's first thing you think about? Am I the only normal person

I bow down to you, for you are a god among men for writing this

This is a bump so massive only the lawd jezuz christ could have caused it.


But yes, this is a very very very helpful post.

I know this is a completely old thread… but this is in the Useful Threads section, I will point out that some of the images in the Filters section have broken.
