That Warm Synth Sound Masterclass | haQ attaQ
Join me in my deepest dive into a very warm synthesizer sound that almost everyone loves. In this Masterclass you'll learn what it is that makes that sound so warm, how to make it yourself with almost any synthesizer and techniques to make it even warmer.

Masterclass? Doesn’t that mean there’s a subscription fee?
I think it’s another viral video from the Master of Music Viruses… A Virus Master with Class?
This is a thoughtfully organized and presented lesson. I really appreciate how you use diagrams and annotated screenshots at just the right time to make points, without overwhelming. Nicely done!👍
Thanks Jakob. Would you consider a "masterclass" on FM synthesis as well?
Hello Jakob. This seems like a great way to teach synthesis. Instead of just describing the components ("the oscs osc, the filter filters"), show how to use them to achieve a particular sound concept. Nice to use so many synths and apps, so it's clear that the concepts aren't limited to a specific app.
Hello @jakoB_haQ,
That's great video.
This is not only a masterclass of warm sounds, but also a solid compilation of the knowledge needed to use analog-like synths (subtractive ones).
I think this could be a must-have material for those starting out with synthesizers (and not necessarily just software ones). I watched this material with pleasure and total agreement. I wish there had been such a film 38 years ago.
Greetings.
Awesome 😎
Jakob: Consider putting these up as series into Nebula Classes for some ca$h. Maybe have teaser versions open with in-depth in Nebula.
I used to be friends with a senior sound engineer from a studio in London that was the go-to place for a lot of the top UK indie-band producers back in the early 90’s.
His philosophy for getting “warm” sounds out of anything back then? “Turn down the treble & turn up the midrange, mate”
His philosophy for making anything sound “vintage”? “Turn down the treble & turn up the midrange, mate”
“Really?”
“Yeah, really. If it doesn’t sound ‘vintage enough’ then turn down the treble even more”
“Really?”
“Yeah, really.”
😁
Yeah, exactly this.
The first thing to go on hardware is the top end as the components age. 😏
xlnt video Jakob!
As others have explained above, a great guide to getting sounds on a synth.
as usual your positivity and talent wins the day.
Cheers
Midrange is not exactly on point: it‘s in the low mids in particular (say 400-1200hz)
The 2k to 4k range is infamous for what‘s considered „digital-cold“
High definition in low-mids is a good indicator for quality gear in general.
In other words: it‘s not just about presence of signal in that range but how well you perceive it’s details.
It’s why the use of certain distortion pedals (and software emulations) are sometimes put forward as methods of making something sound more ‘analog’ - they often have a mid-range boost and roll off some of the top end.
This was also a survey of the history of synthesis controls.
For me… I run the presets and have my Favorites.
Nave and Model D give me quick access to wonderfully warm morphing presets.
I really appreciated that you showed examples on several different synth apps; a great way to learn about the differences in various soft synths and learn to map their commonalities (like all the different names for "resonance")
Another great video Jakob, loved it.
Exactly this.
I recently purchased four guitar compressors and two extra distortion pedals
and I’m using them as outboard for this very reason which is to
add my own character and tone to a pure sine wave.
Once my custom built potentiometers arrive
which is going to be in a couple of weeks I’ll do a Master Class
because I’m also adding cv capabilities to one of my guitar pedals.
