Synth wizard 🧙‍♂ Daniel Fisher takes us on a deep dive of wiggle makers -- synthesizer oscillators!

4:46 "It's just an electronic device that's making an electrical signal go up and down."
Said in a clear and simple way to understand.

I would absolutely take a class on music if it was taught by you

It's a cross between an ocelot and an alligator.

This is an important concept to understand. GREAT that you elaborate on that in an understandable fashion 👍 I know Daniel has a Hydra at home ;) It is only the most powerful digi synth on the market at the moment. Whether you enjoy the sound or not is entirely personal. Thanks Sweetwater

Daniel Fisher + ASM Hydrasynth = epicness.

I like these basic instructional videos. I have a Moog Grandmother and although it is fun to play with, I want to have a deeper understanding of it. Videos like this help a lot. Best regards

Super!! Easy and clear, thank You Daniel🙏🏻😎

Hey can we get a studio tour of Daniels home setup? Or his “pedalboard” (synths).

Really helpful to have this introductory explanation. Thank you.

Holy cow, piano gonna be so much fun once I get past the basics :)

Really cool video. Question though - if a slower moving oscillator is an LFO, then why is a fast moving LFO called frequency modulation (FM), and not just an Oscillator?

So if I'm wrapping my head around just what exactly an oscillator is correctly... it's an electro-wiggle generator. It is something that can be made to "wiggle"/oscillate fast enough that it starts to create a sound when wiggling faster than 20 complete wiggles per second.
