Basics: Advanced Ableton Live

Overview

“Now we will learn the concept of synthesis by physical modeling and why it is different from other types of synthesis. Live has interesting examples of synthesizers that use this technique.”

In this video lesson Joaquin Jimenez-Sauma addresses the topic: Synthesis by physical modeling 1, which is part of the Domestika online course: Curso 2 - Síntesis con instrumentos de Live. Posibilidades expresivas de los sintetizadores.

Partial transcription of the video

“In this lesson we will learn the concept of synthesis by physical modeling and why it is different from other types of synthesis. Now we will see how to do this type of synthesis with collision, electric and tension. As its name suggests, Synthesizers by physical modeling try to imitate the acoustic behavior of elements in nature. For example, collision is used to model percussion, but tonal percussion, and we can model their characteristics. Collision is based on the use of formants, and hence it can imitate the timbres of real objects. We can find an analogy between the synthesizers we ha...”
