Yes, it's basic, monophonic, and limited to sin waves, but I challenge you to create a velocity sensitive synth in less than 1 minute with fewer max objects!
I'm going to add features in future tutorials, including polyphony, other waveforms, filters, envelopes and much more, so subscribe and tune in! Will include modulation for that dubstep/DNB wobble of course!

@vetodnb That comes later! You have to watch the other steps!

What ultimately determines the timbre of the signal/sine wave? I assume MAX has an internal sound for it, but other programs might put out a slight different tone?
thedownloadz 10 months ago
@thedownloadz Ideally a precise mathematical model and equation would be used and all sine waves would be perfect and equivalent. In the real world, a lot of applications use lookup wavetables. If the wavetable and playback is of high enough resolution, you shouldn't be able to hear any difference, but that's not always the case. How precise you need things to be depends on your use. Max is certainly very precise. I may have to do a video on this! Thanks for the idea!
