Do you have some kind of subconscious awareness of interests you already have or know you eventually will take deep dives into at some point in life? (lemmy.world)

I mean like awareness that, just under the surface, there are deep explorations waiting for the right time and place to emerge; things you've set aside or placed on the back burner but will tackle eventually/many you already have tackled.

Are you deeply self aware of these interests like some kind of list? If so, are these interests deeply connected in your mind to your past explorations and interests like some kind of road map or branching tree structure of thought?

What makes a synthesizer organic?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There's a really good video about that: Can a synth sound organic? What does that even mean? (not a piped link, as it isn't working on my browser.).

Organic can be associated as non-static sound, moving and reactive sound. You use a lot of modulators, it does not really matter which one. Usually, what you would do is pair a LFO's envelope with other parameters, like for example, key-tracking? Or maybe control the resonance and filter with the above-mentioned LFO? And then make use of a spectral wavetable oscillator, and go to-and-fro between each graphs of wave? Maybe also connect the parameter to detune and width? Perhaps, also play around with envelope? The above factors create a pseudo-random-but-predictable arpeggiator-like effect, but these effects may, or may not necessarily loop.

Sorry, it's been a really long time since I've touched any DAW stuff, I don't remember any of the basics.
