Jfever Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I am new to synthesizers and sculpting sounds but something just seems missing in my knowledge here. I understand (well pretty much) things like: saw waves, square waves, etc. I understand ADSR What I don't understand is how do you get the sound of say a flute? it all sounds like distorted synthesizers. What is extra that goes into a patch that takes a ES2 for example and makes it sound like a cello? no amount of wave form changing and ADSR adjustments can get me from distorted synth to cello. Can someone help me understand this? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basils Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Logic Studio manual had an interesting section on this. https://documentation.apple.com/en/logicstudio/instruments/index.html#chapter=14%26section=20%26tasks=true But it may also be worth your looking into the Fourier Transform. It kind of gives a hint at how complex sound can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
