about

the twenty fourth synthesis techniques challenge - In this weekly series we'll explore the myriad of ways one can synthesize sound.
This week, we're playing with modulation again, but this time we're working with the concept of modulating modulation, though it's worth noting today's and last week's prompts work with audio as well. The most common form of modulated modulation is via a VCA. This allows you to control the amount of modulation with another signal, such as from the mod wheel, but can also be used to control an LFO fading in to control vibrato over time. However, a more fun form of modulated modulation is frequency/time modulation. This is when an LFO controls decay time to make pluckier sounds turn into more open sounds over time. You can also FM two LFOs together like you would two VCOs to get complex yet repeatable modulation sources. Modulating LFO time with an envelope is also very useful, especially in SFX design, but can also create fun risers/downers. You can also use this to create the classic bouncing ball patch with a DUSG-style device.
