Composing and Producing Electronic Music

Simple ratios like 2:1 and 3:2 play a very important role in sound an music.  In this video I explore how important they are when creating sounds with Frequency Modulation synthesis.  The techniques are demonstrated here on the Operator synth in Ableton Live, but could be applied on any synth that offers FM.

Hello all.  When writing my Advanced Production in Ableton Live course I thought I would be able to dig really deep into frequency modulation synthesis and the Operator synth.  Well, FM is a deep topic(students at Berklee spend whole semesters on it) and I found that it was just too much to put into the course. But, I had already made 3 videos on the topic, so I will share them here where everyone can benefit!  This first one covers the underlying concept of FM synthesis and Operator, later installments will cover some more applications.

Have fun. Make music.
