My question is the same as @gc. How did the sine wave become part of the conversation when the MS20 does not have the option? Definitely interested in finding out.

Great breakdown of core synth concepts using tasty equipment! The side-by-side comparison at the end was golden. I'd watch a whole video of just that. Confused about one thing: at around 6:50, you explain why filtering sine waves is uninteresting (b/c they have no harmonics) which is a good point--but the MS-10 doesn't have a sine oscillator, right? And (to my untrained ear) that sounds like the triangle wave (which has odd harmonics--albeit softer ones than a square wave, so it's much closer to a sine wave). Then you say "triangle" at 7:30, but that sounds like it might be the sawtooth?

Fascinating how synths have evolved from this

Can you apply this to virtual synth vst?

Awesome lesson. I learned. My only suggestion would be that maybe some oscilloscope-ish graphics could have further enhanced the already-excellent explanations for people who like to "see" things that way.

I've tried to watch this video multiple times over the past few weeks and it keeps stopping and freezing. I can't get past the first 5 seconds. I've tried on different computers, wifi networks, different devices and the problem persists. Thought you should know.

Great vid, it wouldn't stop glitching on me though. No pun intended.

I would love to watch it but it is the only one I can't get to play. It will start then stop in less then two minutes ?

Wiseguy's comment: The first two oscillator waves are triangle (not sine), sawtooth (not triangle) :-)

More is coming. Lots more.

fab video fab. very simply explained . would love to see more in this synthesis series

Looking at the controls, and having double-checked a few sources online, surely the waveforms on this synth are 'triangle' (not 'sine' as the first one is described), 'saw' (not 'triangle' as the second one is described) and 'pulse/square'?
