Korg IMS-20 Tutorial 2A: Basics of Modular Analog Synthesis

George Sanger, The Fat Man | 04/24

Let’s start twisting knobs and running patch cords like crazed scientists, shall we?  But first we’ll need some fancy words to fling about willy-nilly so that people will realize how very sophisticated and smart we are.

It may seem a little basic for the sophisticated user, and it may seem a little difficult for the novice, so I figger it's just about right.

More of a Big Picture than a Shortcut:  Using the Korg IMS-20 on iPad as a playground, we delve into the basics of Modular Analog Synthesis.  This video touches upon

—Voltage oscillations, and how their shape affects how they are used as audio signals or as input to control various voltage-controlled thingummies. 

—We get a taste for high-pass and low-pass filters, and what “resonance” or “peak” controls do. 

—We are introduced to the LFO or, as Korg calls it, the “Modulation Generator.” 

—And we get the basics of the evelope generator.

Please leave a comment if you’d like something further illustrated or explained or elaborated upon or made an excuse for or eliminated from the planet for a small fee.
