How do you synthesize sounds?

The process of creating sounds using synthesizers is called synthesis. It is done so through the process of creating sound waves through electronic signals that are converter into sound waves using instruments and loudspeakers. We have many different types of synthesis and synthesizers.

What is synthesis sound design?

Synthesis—generating and combining waveforms to produce complex sounds—can seem like quite a mountain to climb for early producers and new sound designers. This is one of the more basic types of synthesis and involves taking away frequencies before combining waveforms.

Can you synthesize any sound?

Most synthesisers are limited to a certain range of sounds. You can’t make a minimoog sound like a DX7, or like a real grand piano, or like Michael Jackson singing, or like a complex sound effect in Transformers.

What do you need to know about making a synth?

Getting to know the tools of your trade is key to any aspect of working life, but particularly sound design. You’ll need to pick one synth – preferably one that has a wide range of sounds – and get to know it section by section. Explore the very fundamentals of its sound – the oscillators and waveforms – and find out exactly what impact they have.

How can I make different sounds on my synth?

You can do this at an oscillator level by choosing very different waveforms and tunings, or simply mix and (not) match particular sounds on different synths. The simplest way is to have two instances of your chosen synth with the same MIDI sequence triggering both as you explore sounds on each.

What’s the best way to tune a synth?

The simplest way to add weight to a synth sound is to add an oscillator and tune it down an octave (-12 semitones). Many synths also feature a dedicated sub-oscillator for adding a simple tone tuned, typically, an octave or two down. Tuning an oscillator up +7 semitones gives the classic open fifth sound.
