notes:

  • spoke about additive synthesis vs multiplication.

add means +~ outputting both waves together.

multiply means outputting a single wave, with multiple combinations.

we spoke a bunch about the history of synthesizers.

luke dubois explained differences between the east-coast versus the west-coast approach to synthesis:

  • west was more about making new sounds that no one has heard before, versus the east was more about simulating existing sounds (why hire a bassist when you can make every single bass sound?)
