Guide to Learning any Software Synth Quickly

This is where you’ll see the greatest variety amongst different types of synths. Perhaps the most common type right now is the wavetable synth, which stores and plays back short snippets of waveforms. Typically, you have hundreds of individual waveforms placed in each table, which you can cycle through smoothly. You can often manipulate these in different ways, including bending, remapping, and more (these should sound familiar if you use Massive or Serum). This is a flexible model that also has a very light CPU load, allowing you to create complex sounds from something very simple. (if you see the term “subtractive,” this often falls under the broader category of wavetable synths).

Allpass filters are a bit trickier to understand — they don’t have any direct effect on the frequency balance, only the phase of the audio coming through, resulting in a smearing effect as the frequencies around the cutoff are progressively delayed in time. It doesn’t seem immediately useful, but its utility is clearer when you stack multiple allpass filters in sequence, such as with Kilohearts’ plugin Disperser. You can think of allpass filters as providing a smoothing, liquefying effect that destabilizes everything you run through it — if you like juicy, squelchy sounds, you’ll want to give this a try!
