Monophonic V.S Polyphonic Synths - A Guide To Dance Music

Even presently, most synthesiser will give you the monophonic or polyphonic option. At present though with new technology this has become very much stronger, yet cheaper to produce. It has got to the point where most of the newer synthesiser can create an almost innumerable amount of notes all at the same time. Simply like a piano would. In easier terms, a monophonic synthesizer plays one note at a time. Its a useable setting because it prevents 2 keys from being held down at the same time.
Which also signifies they can most likely over lap one another. The monophonic is fantastic for a couple of the lead and bass sounds too. For two or more notes to play simultaneously you require the polyphonic.
To be able to slide between 2 notes the synthesiser requires the Portamento/guide. You would get your best effects of creating a bending 'tween notes if you apply the portamento on monophonic sounds. On the other hand it can likewise be applied polyphonically if played in the block chords style. You could go from a very slow sweep between two notes to a simplex glide. This will permit a difference in the severity of bending. This's finished when you change the time and some times the scale of the glide. Its very usable for SFX.
In subtractive synthesis, you can practice the basic ideas of frequency modulation, which is a complete entity of synthesis. You would be utilising its sound creation methods. If you're to speed up LFO, you will be capable to create FM effects. The rate is set at such a high speed an audible pitch is created by the oscillator.
A very sharp piercing effect is achieved when a non-harmonic sound is produced by using the first oscillator to modulate the pitch of a second oscillator. It has been found that FM effects can't be applied successfully on analogue synthesiser keyboards.
Say you practice 2 oscillators, with one being the master and the other one slave youre producing the effect of hard sync (oscillator sync). In this instance, the slave oscillator operates faster or slower than the master, whereas the master operates as standard with its waveform. If you trigger the 2 oscillators simultaneously, you'll get very particular harmonic effects. The slave would likewise start to perform once again via its waveform. It will not matter whether it completed it's cycle. This occurs when the master oscillator is put into action.
Take 2 oscillator inputs and multiply them against each other. This is dependant on the frequencies. This is recognized as ring modulation in music synthesis. This's the ideal result for creating dissonant, percussive sounds, due to the non-harmonic result
