What makes a sound a "sound"?


Recommended Posts

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.
