thats a damn good summary of frequencies.

In terms of giving the kind of clear, easy-to-understand explanation of the process of waves and harmonic overtones, this is the best tutorial I have experienced. Well done.

there is hardly any other synth sound as satisfying as a sine wave that continuously becomes more and more of a saw wave by adding harmonics

"satisfying"

this is by far the best ive ever seen

@WARDISWARD What i meant was that harmonics occur naturally... However, sine waves occur naturally too. Just like circles and balls occur naturally (soap bubble, planets orbits, and so on) however those are usually not as pure as synthesized sine waves. I agree the sentence came out linguistically wrong, but I'm a synth teacher, not an english teacher :)

Excellent accurate graphics, accurate generators, accurate reproduction, and accurate , easy to understand and clear description and tutorial! Just what the doctor ordered.

I remember watching this video when I was like 14 and barely learning what audio engineering or synthesis was and it helped so much. Thank you for kickstarting my interest in the one thing I'm good at. :p

Excellent basic sound wave tutorial. I'm a vocalist and though I've learned about the basics of sound (overtones, harmonics, etc), I've never seen it put so simply like this. Having visual and audio reference makes all the difference. Thank you.

As a student of signal processing and a long-time musician, nice work! Very clear and still simple.

Wow! I had an epiphanic moment when you compared the osciloscope's positive and negative values to that position of the speaker's membrane! Thank you so much!

THIS is a good video, exactly what I've been looking for. Everything else I've found is riddled with irrelevant information, doesn't tell me anything new, and doesn't answer my questions. Very well done!

I am human and i find that synthesized sounds are very pleasing to my human ears ;)

Hi, why your website is not working anymore?

This was an absolutely fantastic video, I have been using synths for at least two years but never really understood the basic building blocks of sound until now, this was honestly a humbling experience to watch. :)

This is one of my FAVORITE videos EVER.

Very well done and explanatory video. Thanks for posting!

THIS IS THE BEST EXPLANATION OF SOUNDWAVE AND HARMONICS EVER!!!!!!!!

This was an amazing video, sums up synthesis concisely, and in a way that makes perfect sense! Made me think about how this is applied in organs, which I never really thought about before, but now it makes sense - they're altering what harmonic frequencies are used in the organ! This will really help with my music, thank you so much!

Seriously! What a great video! Well explained, demonstrated and easy to follow! Thank you so much! Cheers!

Finally, I got a good explanation of sine waves and frequencies. Great video.

Excellent! Thanks for the solid tutorial, You totally nailed it, many thumbs up

Thanks - that's a really good intro to harmonics - the basis of music - way more useful place to start than whatever they did in school that was just confusing and ungrounded in how the phenomenon works. Thank you thank you.

Wow. I just spent the last couple hours trying to learn this, and your video was the one that helped me understand! Thank you!

Thank you very much!" This is the best explanation of sound I have ever seen! Awesome work!

This particular video is one of the best i have seen so far !! Great work guys and some excellent demonstrations.

I love the explanations!! Finally I know now how sawtooth waves and square waves are generated from sine waves!

Such a great video. I would recommend it to all musicians period!

can't believe you made this just for the course!! amazing. we want more :)

Damn man, you answered so many questions. Keep demystifying! Subscribed!

Thank you, SynthShool, for making a really informative video. I definitely plan on checking out your site, as I'd love to know something about synths beyond their sound.

This is amazing. So clear. Thank you for this. Musicology professors have spoken more and explained less than this video.

Kudos to you my friend, you have made a truly excellent educational video here. Thank you very much!!!

I am a trumpet major and am trying to learn more about overtones and the affect on timbre. This video was very helpful. Thank you.

best representation of harmonics I've seen so far. Thanks.

This is a great tool for understanding harmonics and timbre.

This is Fourier series. Great!

thkq so much for this wonderful tutorial.this open ups many things to me

Yes yes yes, this is blooddy marvalous, thankyou

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video. Bravo!

Thanks for this man. You answered a few questions ive always wondered in my head.

Unreal. I feel like I've always known this stuff. Had synths for years and years. Now high pass filter makes sense. It takes out the harmonics (in the first saw example)!

This is a great example of Fourier's theorem, and how it can be put into practice.

Why are people arguing on this thread? Great video, very informative and straight forward. Kudos! I learned something new!

Amazing tutorial! I wish I would have found this video before my Signals and Systems exam, it could have been so much easier. :S :)

This is amazing. Everything makes sense - THANK YOU SO MUCH

So easy to understand, great tuto, thank you so much !

Excellent and thank you for that great demo !!

the best demo i have ever watched ( relating to the complex nature of the experiment, made dynamically simple) ..best regards to u Sir..

best tutorial ever

@DownFlex subtractive synthesis is when you use filters to modify the harmonic series. filters emphasize and/or remove specific harmonics.

Great explanation and visuals. thank you :)

@soundsalvo You do make a valid point and it is one that many people could easily confuse, but it does depend on what you mean by 'slower.' Lower frequencies ARE slower wave oscillations compared to higher frequencies. But as you mean to point out, ALL sounds--regardless of their frequency, travel through the same medium or environment at the same speed. In this video, he does not actually say that the sound is travelling slower to our ears, but it is true that he could have been more clear.

Thanks for this, really useful and with all the concepts wall explained in short time.

Beautiful presentation!

Excellent video! Now I understand why same tone on guitar and piano would sound different despite the same frequency (fundamental frequency) . Thanks.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the "real musical instruments" the entire time. Everything that produces sound produces a waveform that is built up of a base frequency (sine wave) and varying overtones. This video was not an exercise in reproducing acoustic sound (which has been done quite successfully, by the way). Its purpose was to inform the viewer as to how frequencies interacted to produce common synth sounds. I found it highly informative and interesting.

thankxxx for sharing man! i love synthesis........

Brilliant tutorial, thanks!

Don't forget the exponentials. Any mathematical function (i.e. audio signal) can be built using combinations of sinusoids and exponentials. Good video, thanks for posting.

Very good and easy-to-understand tutorial

Great Tutorial. Big Thumb !

Wow! The best explanation ever! Thanks a lot!

this is the best explanation ever ! thank you very much sir !

This is very clear and informative, thanks!

great presentation--lots of insight

No wonder saws sound so rich! Great explanation!

Lovely lesson! Thanks for this

This is such a great video, my university don’t even teach it! Thank you very much 👍🏻

Very good work, thank you.

this was amazing. thanks very much

very helpful! thank you

Thanks for that concise and understandable!

This visual lesson really helped thanks

Greetings, I used a small part of this great video in my video "nem indivíduo, nem sociedade: o transindividual". Thank you!

this is the best video ever ,thanx

really wonderful explanation!

thanks for the lesson 👍

Awesome video!

great explanation. loved it..

Wow, this was VERY informative! Cheers mate. :)

When you add together sine waves with integer multiples of the base frequency, is it important that they all start from the zero phase at the same time? How does the resulting sound change if the phases of the sine waves are not synchronized?

@WARDISWARD Sine waves are actually quite common in nature. From the Wikipedia entry: This wave pattern occurs often in nature, including ocean waves, sound waves, and light waves. It exists, therefor it occurs in nature.

@soundsalvo Good point, slower is not the same as takes more time to evolve.

It's not about limiting creativity, it's about creating working models.

It's like I'm preparing for graduation from Singularity School where God teaches it's first Elemental Soul Group how to construct the Cosmos.

Hi Yes God ( Sound) said Let there be Light.’ The word ‘Sound’ is STILL utilised to express something trustworthy, something that RESONATES! Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua ( The LIGHT)

this is going to be big, nice one.

Amazing and didactic!

I like this so much!! I wish there was a second like button

Very well explained.

This is gold

WOW! great video!

Please open the synth school! Keen!

thanks man , it helps me a lot

Took 10 minutes to watch but took all afternoon to understand.I have such a wondering mind that the only way i get these things down is by writing them down slowly,anyway thank you one more piece of the big puzzle.It all helps in the end :)

awesome& interessting! :) Subscribed!

awesome video!!

When adding terms to the saw wave series, how do you know what to divide it by to change the amplitude between -1 and 1? The more terms you add, the greater the range of-course.

Classic video! Thank you very much ;)

thank you very much for this!
