Remember when FM radio hit the market? If not, you're lucky enough to be young! It was a big thing though, FM signal processing was invented, and boy did it sound good. You often hear about FM and you'll find it's terminology obscurely hiding away in some corners of your favorite synths and effects, but what does it actually do? And is this the same thing as that AM/FM radio thing?
This workshop is for anybody that wants to get a full grasp on what Frequency Modulation is all about, which will allow you to use it in a variety of ways throughout your productions, not just in FM Synthesizers. After all FM is just a modulation technique - on steroids. Understanding it's, often subtle and delicate, approach is a key to getting a whole range of new sounds, from simple but complex timbre variations to wildly aggressive lead and bass sounds. Rather than just talking about one synth in this workshop, we are going to talk about the entirety of FM and what it can do with our signals (sounds!).
We will start off with a general overview and some technical background information, and once we've got that covered we will look at different implementations in specific tools like:
Filter FM (Serum, Massive, Zebra)
Wavetable FM (Serum, Massive)
EFM1: Logic's FM Synth
Operator: Ableton's FM Synth
FM8: one of the most powerful and fully featured FM Synthesizers around
Seeing Frequency Modulation at work in a variety of ways like this will help you to get a better understanding of it's strengths and weaknesses, as well as giving you a good idea on when to use the technique. After that we will dig even deeper as we venture into every detail of FM8, showing different workflows, and exploring lots of practical examples and useful tips along the way.
You will learn how envelopes are the filters of FM synthesis and how frequency ratios affect timbres in previously surprising ways. This workshop is one of the most extensive overviews of FM synthesis out there and will take you from the very start to being a crazy mad FM scientist. No joke.
This workshop will cover:
Origins of FM Synthesis
FM Synthesis Basics and implementations
Achieving specific timbres
De-constructing Sounds
FM Synthesis with Samples
Developing workflows
A full overview of FM8
FM Synthesis with Samples
Morphing Sounds
Advanced MIDI learn tricks
Microtonality (& using custom scales)
Much more
