10 Basic Types of Synthesis with the Arturia MicroFreak | Reverb

Wavetable, sample-based, vector...what's going down when you synth up? Tone Jay joins us in the studio with the Arturia MicroFreak and a rundown of 10 common forms of synthesis you may encounter in hardware and software synthesizers.

I love this mans voice. Not too loud and not too soft. It’s the ultimate synth tutorial voice

wow. I just clicked on this because I'm interested in the microfreak and Im to making music, haven't even bought my first synth yet. And hearing you explaining what one is able to do with the sound, how to use it, even though I probably understood less than half almost made me cry a couple of times because it's so amazingly beautiful. I'm in awe of how we are able to create with sound in this way. Thank you so much for this video!

First it's Justin Delay and now Tone Jay whats next? Tom Soundgoodizer?

TFW when Tone Jay casually drops the most devastatingly concise explanation of what 'Sustain' actually is and you spend the next 20 minutes sitting on your couch, staring into the middle distance, thinking about how you've been looking at ADSR all wrong for years.

Tone Jay did a great job with this tutorial. Look forward to seeing him doing synth videos again.

excellent demo, it not only shows the capabilities of the microfreak but I learned so much about synthesis from it. Sometimes people throw around jargon but there's not much integrity to what it means or how it's made, this one explains everything so well.

[rycrump]

Fantastically done. I like his style of speaking and the information was great.

[happyjessus]

These are some of the most fine sounding patches I ve heard on the freak!

[BubbaSatori]

Thank you for the clear and well presented explanations. Learned a lot tonight.

Great synthesis overview... The physical modeling I think is one of those I am really looking forward to playing the most. I am supposed to receive my Microfreak today.

[valdiskrebs]

Great intro, demo and explanation of the sound sources!
