What you'll learn
- Build a kick from a sine wave and a pitch envelope
- Build a snare from a tone and filtered noise
- Shape closed and open hats from the same patch
- Layer a clap from three bursts of noise
Five lessons. Each takes one drum apart into the two or three things it's made of, then gives you numbers to start from. Works on any synthesizer with one oscillator, a noise source, a filter and two envelopes. Sold in the shop with the patch sheets.
Who it's for: Producers who reach for samples because drum synthesis looks like a dark art.
What you'll need
- Any synthesizer, hardware or software, with a sine oscillator, noise, a filter and two envelopes
- Headphones or monitors that reach below 60 Hz
