1. Advanced Synthesis Techniques with Serum

4.7

(297)

When I think Serum, I think Synthesizer, because that's what it is. But I also think: FM, AM & RMCustom WaveTablesText to SpeechSamplerMathPolyphonic ModulationJoseph FourierSteve Duda ♥Image SynthesisSerum is seriously overflowing with cool features, many of which often overlooked, and some features not even documented. This is what made me decide to make an advanced sound-design course, focussing just on Serum. And indeed, it turned out to be the most in-depth course ever created by me, or on Serum in general. At first I just wanted to focus on the Serum Guru's, those of you that already know and love the synth, and are enthusiastic about diving even deeper. But then I realised, since it was going to be a big course anyway, I might as well include the basics, so that everyone who owns Serum can follow along. Because of this, the course is separated into three different levels, over 9 hours of content: Level A - The Foundations (2.5 Hours)Here you will find all the fundamental information required to understand the rest of the course, and subtractive/wavetable synthesis in general. We talk about Oscillators, Waveforms, Basic Filters, Envelopes, LFO's, Note Modulators, Effects, etc. Everything is explained in great detail, with plenty of examples and context to make sure that the topics really clickWatching this part of the course will provide you with a strong foundation on subtractive synthesis as a whole, and of course on Serum itself. Level B - The Depths (3 Hours)Here we descend into the depths of Serum, we explore custom Wavetables, Image Synthesis, FFT Bins/Additive Synthesis, Hybridizing, The Formula Parser, and much more! You'll understand this for example:[sin(sin((abs(-2*x)-1)*pi*z)*pi)]Math is really cool when you want to figure out the universe, but it's even better when you can use it to create custom WavetablesLevel C - The Experiments (3.5 Hours)At this point you're going to have a very thorough understanding on everything that Serum has to offer, even more than the manual would offer. But, we also need examples. So this last part of the course is designed to give you as many real-life sound design examples as possible, it serves as a creative cookbook for tons of delicious Serum recipes. Among other things we'll dive into; using LFO's as Wavetables, creating organic sounds with the Noise Oscillator, Audio Rate Synthesis, Custom Tunings, and Polyphonic Modulation...

2. Electronic Music Production - Synthesis

4.6

(103)

Have you always wanted to approach a hardware synth like a Moog or a software synth like Massive and understand how to program it? Well this course is for you. The goal of this course is to provide students with a fundamental understanding of how synthesizers work and how to manipulate them to create the sounds they've always wanted to make. Learn essential synth elements such as oscillators, filters, and envelopes: what they do, how they work together, and how to go about creating sounds beyond the manufacturer's pre-set patches. UPON FINISHING THIS COURSE YOU WILL KNOW: How to identify just about any synthesizer by type, old or new, and how to use itHow to create any sound of your own concept using a hardware or software synthesizerHow to incorporate synthesizers and synth-style processing techniques into DAW programs like Ableton LiveHow to distinguish where your favourite "retro" synth sounds come from along with other classic sounds like those made by Moog, ARP and OberheimTOPICS COVEREDSignal Generators and Signal ModifiersTypes of Synthesis  (subtractive, additive, FM, wavetable etc.)Synthesizer modules - (VCO, VCF, VCA, CV processors, LFO, Wave Shapers)Common synthesizer layoutsIncorporating synth elements into audio productionHardware vs. software - finding the right synth for youWHAT YOU WILL NEEDWe cover all the Ableton Live Synths so Ableton Live would be helpful but not mandatory. We cover Native Instruments FM8 and Massive. Again not mandatory but helpful...

3. Synthesis with Propellerhead Reason - Europa

4.5

(73)

Have you ever heard someone say (it may even be you) I'm not a sound designer? Or, I don't use a synth in that way, I just fiddle with presets? I've begun to really loathe the phrase Sound designer. Because it's become a phrase that makes people think of synthesis in a way that is not accessible to them. Well, I've got news for you; if you push one slider or twist one knob on a synth in order to change the sound, YOU ARE a sound designer. It's time that we stop being afraid of actually learning how to use our instruments. All too often I see people regularly buying new synths and maybe, just maybe, they explore some of the presets and never test out the synths capabilities before they purchase a new synth. Does this sound familiar at all? I'll bet it does. These types of people have so many VST's or RE's that they've never used, and do you know what type of music they make? NONE. They don't make music because they don't take the time to learn to use the instrument they purchased. Don't become one of those people, and if you are, this is the course for you! I'll teach you how to get over that mental block and make you understand synthesis from a basic level to advanced in one course. Take this journey with me. Dean...

4.2

(80)

Let me know if any of this sounds familiar to you... Organic Chemistry - It's a weed-out course, many students fail, you will fail, it's hard, it's time consuming, it's complicated, you won't like it, good luck (with sarcasm), you won't have a life, you may have to take it again, it will wreck your GPA, it may keep you out of medicinal school…and on and on. The story we hear about something dramatically influences how we see and experience something. Now, I want to share with you a different story about organic chemistry. And this story is backed up by years of teaching the material. Organic chemistry is simple and easy to learn. There is a very effective and direct way to learn the material that allows you to start using it immediately. No matter where you are in the class, there are simple and effective ways to immediately increase your understanding and grade. Since I began teaching in 1998, I have been working on creating the simplest and most effective way for anyone to learn organic chemistry. And this course, as well as all my other courses, is what has come out of those efforts. Well, let's not waste anymore time... Let's get to it!...

10. Methods of Design Synthesis: Research to Product Innovation

4.5

(233)

User-centered design research activities produce an enormous quantity of raw data, which must be systematically and rigorously analyzed in order to extract meaning and insight. Unfortunately, these methods of analysis are poorly documented and rarely taught, and because of the pragmatic time constraints associated with working with clients, there is often no time dedicated in a statement of work to a practice of formal synthesis. As a result, raw design research data is inappropriately positioned as insight, and the value of user-centered research activities is marginalized - in fact, stakeholders may lose faith in the entire research practice, as they don't see direct return on the investment of research activities. Design synthesis methods can be taught, and when selectively applied, visual, diagrammatic synthesis techniques can be completed relatively quickly. During Synthesis, Designers visually explore large quantities of data in an effort to find and understand hidden relationships. These visualizations can then be used to communicate to other members of a design team, or can be used as platforms for the creation of generative sketching or model making. The action of diagramming is a way to actively produce knowledge and meaning...

(202)

In this course, we look in quite some detail at all the common elements of sound design using synthesisers. Whether you are brand new to synthesis, or an experienced sound designer, beatmaker or producer, this course will help you to really understand how to construct exactly the sound you are looking for for your mix. With more than six hours of video split across over fifty lectures, you will find detailed descriptions and demonstrations of: Synthesiser architecture and how the different elements work together. Why the various wave shapes generated by oscillators create a different sound, and how to use them in combination. How to use ADSR envelopes to modulate the volume of your sound over time. The different types of filters commonly used and how to apply them to create the perfect tone. How to add movement and depth to your sounds. How to add effects such as chorus, distortion, delay and reverb to make your sounds more interesting. Once you have finished these comprehensive sections and gained a deep understanding of exactly how every individual element of a synthesizer affects the sounds we are creating, we will use this knowledge to build several new sounds from scratch, including: Sub-bassPlucked bassAtmospheric and ethereal padsLeadsPercussion, including hi-hats, kick drums, and snaresPiano-like keysWe'll be using the free Vital synth throughout the course so you can follow along, but towards the end we'll spend some time looking at other synthesisers and see how to apply what you've learned to quickly get to grips with ANY synth and know exactly how to use it to get the sounds you need for your compositions.

13. High-Level Synthesis for FPGA, Part 2 - Sequential Circuits

4.7

(116)

This course is an introduction to sequential circuits design in high-level synthesis (HLS). The goals of the course are describing, debugging and implementing sequential logic circuits on FPGAs using only C/C++ language without any help from HDLs (e. g., VHDL or Verilog). It uses the Xilinx HLS software and hardware platforms to demonstrate real examples and applications. The course mainly uses the Xilinx Vitis-HLS toolset to describe, simulate and synthesise a high-level design description into the equivalent HDL code. The course also explains how to use the Integrated Logic Analyser (ILA) IP in Vivado to perform real-time debugging on the Basys3 board. This course is the first of its kind that builds the HLS design flow and skills along with the digital logic circuit concepts from scratch. Along the course, you will follow several examples describing the HLS concepts and techniques. The course contains numerous quizzes and exercises for you to practice and master the proposed methods and approaches. In addition, the course utilises three exciting projects to put all the explained concepts together to design real circuits and hardware controllers. This course is the second of a series of courses on HLS in designing hardware modules and accelerating algorithms on a target FPGA. Whereas this course focuses on sequential circuits, the first course explains how to describe combinational circuits in HLS. The other courses in the series will explain how to use HLS in designing advanced logic circuits, algorithm acceleration, and hybrid CPU+ FPGA heterogeneous systems...
