This pitch is usually determined by what key you play on your MIDI keyboard. It is a single-cycle waveform that is looped to match a specific pitch. Regardless of what synth you use, you will always find some form of these components in each one: OscillatorĪn oscillator is how synths generate sound. This article aims to equip you with the building blocks to dive into your friendly neighborhood soft-synth, and start creating your own sounds for use in your music production. This can be an easy yet significant step in carving out your sound. One way to combat this is to understand the basic functions of a synthesizer, which enables you to create custom sounds and presets from the ground up. I can’t be the only one who’s heard a song on the radio and said, "I know that kick sound," or "That’s Synth Drone 308 from _ preset library." This can unintentionally cause different productions to sound vaguely alike. Part of this is option paralysis, and another part is that many of these sounds are actually very similar. That being said, it is surprisingly easy to run the inspirational well dry after browsing through seemingly infinite presets. In addition to synthesizers, most DAWs on the market comes with a ton of these additional sounds to choose from. These products range from Xfer Records Serum, Native Instruments’ FM8, to our very own Iris 2. Many of these products are synthesizers, which can contain thousands of pre-made sounds to choose from. You can compose, produce, mix, master, and release a track, all from one computer, with hundreds of amazing products out there to help.
Testing the tuned base oscillator circuit.It’s the twenty-first century. L1 is the inductance of the primary of the transformer and C1 is the capacitance of the capacitor in the tank circuit. Where F is the frequency of oscillations. The frequency of oscillations of the tuned collector oscillator can be expressed using the following equation: The feedback fraction can be adjusted by varying the turns ratio of the transformer. If the feedback is too low, the oscillations will die out in time and if the feedback is too high the output will be distorted. So the total phase shift between the input and output becomes 360° and the conditions for positive feedback and sustained oscillations are met. Thus the feedback system produces a phase shift of 180° and the transistor arranged in common emitter configuration provides another 180° phase shift. The winding directions of L1 and L2 are so selected that there will be a phase difference of 180° in between. A portion of the collector voltage is inductively coupled to the tank circuit by the secondary coil L2 for compensating the losses in the tank circuit. These oscillations are coupled to the base the transistor through capacitor Cc and it appears in amplified form across the collector of the same transistor.

The repetitive charging and discharging cycles result in a series of oscillations in the tank circuit. Then the capacitor discharges through L1 and the cycle is repeated. This back emf charges the capacitor C1 again. The coil L1 produces a back emf by virtue of self induction. When the capacitor is fully discharged, there will be no more emf left across the capacitor to maintain the current through L1 and so the magnetic flux around the coil tends to collapse. Now the capacitor starts discharging through L1 and the current through L1 starts increasing. Now the energy stored in the coil L1 as electromagnetic field is transferred into the capacitor as electrostatic field. The induced voltage across L1 charges the capacitor C1 to the maximum. The secondary coil L2 is also called “Tickler Coil”.
This rise in current current through the secondary induces some voltage across the primary coil L1 by virtue of mutual induction. From the circuit diagram, you can see that this collector current actually flows through secondary coil L2. When power supply is applied, the transistor Q1 starts conducting and its collector current starts to rise. Primary coil (L1) of the transformer and the capacitor C1 forms the tank circuit. Its job is to prevent DC currents from the tank circuit side from entering the base. If the amplified AC signals are dropped across Re, it will add to the base-emitter voltage (Vbe) of the transistor and affect the DC biasing conditions. Its job is to by-pass the amplified AC signals from dropping across Re. Emitter resistor Re is meant for stabilizing the bias point. In the circuit diagram, resistors R1 and R2 forms a voltage divider bias for the transistor Q1.
