A comparison between exponential, linear, and through zero FM, using the Endorphin.es Furthrrrr Generator's normal analog triangle core oscillators and the optional digital Strong Zero Core oscillator.
Here is the index for the movie:
00:00 Furthrrrr Generator connections overview
00:36 changing FM modes on the FG
01:13 initial settings
02:06 exponential FM: sine modulator
05:03 expo FM: sawtooth
05:46 expo FM: square
06:49 expo FM: noise
07:26 expo FM: feedback
08:10 expo FM: enveloping modulation depth
09:03 expo FM: percussion sounds
10:03 linear (non-thru-zero) FM: sine modulator
11:23 linear FM: stalling at 0Hz, including workarounds
13:20 linear FM: enveloping FM depth
14:48 linear FM: layering with another VCO
15:25 through-zero FM: installing the Strong-Zero Core
16:11 TZFM: tweaking the tracking
17:05 TZFM: sine modulator
18:13 TZFM: other modulation waveforms
18:52 TZFM: enveloping FM depth
19:24 TZFM: layering with another VCO
19:46 TZFM: more variations
22:13 conclusion
Here is a post I wrote that goes into more detail about why the different FM modes behave the way they do: learningmodular.com/understan...

This is hour 50 or something of watching modular demos/tutorials, and the most informative I've seen yet. The progression through the mod depth, waveforms, and type is a wave of its own! I had been wondering about what through-zero meant, and here it is right in perfect contextual examples. The illustration of filter-effects without literal filters towards the end... that's exactly what I wanted to know! And then the same thing with that ace chiptune layer on top.

This has shed a light of understanding on my Furtherrr!! Bless you sir

@GuitarsAndSynths 3 года назад

Super explanation on how this module works and how to make use of it. Bravo.

@CalendulaF 6 лет назад

Wow! this is so well explained. I don't even own the Furthrrrr, but I learned a lot about FM. You have a real didactic talent (which I mean in the best possible way). Thanks so much for doing this.

@alxs2k 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for the Furthrrrr series, there's a lot of potential on this module and some of these explanations just unlocked that even further for me. This is very very helpful, I hope Endorphin.es endorse you in some way or at least link your videos to their page. Cheers!!

DAMN that low FM growl is intense.

Thank you! I took your Mother-32 course a loooong time ago and now I'm learning about FM synthesis from you XD

Thanks. Nice explanation!

@GuitarsAndSynths 6 лет назад

I love the sounds of these Endorphin.es modules! I think that I want a full Endorphin.es modular to go with my Elektrons and Make Noise system. That and an Intellijel setup would be ideal.

@EnviroDouglas 5 лет назад

awesome videos👍👍 will you be making Endorphin.es shuttle system video(s) in the future? just bought a used shuttle system w/thru zero already installed on Reverb.com thanks again for tutorials

@LearningModular 5 лет назад

Probably not the entire Shuttle system; maybe some of the new modules in the future.

@MadelnMachines 5 лет назад

Thanks for the great lesson. So zero thought is just like linear FM but just with better tuning making the sounds more useful pitch tracking keyboard and allowing greater modulation? Does linear have its own quirks create interesting sounds that zero through can't do or not really? Exponential sounds can't be achieved with Linear or Zero through can they? Are the Rubicon and Zero Oscillator the other 2 alternatives?

@LearningModular 5 лет назад

Sorry for the slow reply. Yes, in most cases you can think of thru zero as being "linear FM on steroids". That said, some manufacturers are trying to add new twists, such as deciding at what point the waveform reverses. You won't get the same sounds between linear and exponential FM, as the amount of up/down pitch shift is different between the two. The Rubicon II and Zeroscillator are two great options.

@robertsyrett1992 6 лет назад

Using sync with the non-thru zero FM (Linear and EXP) is my favorite way to make rich timbres on the DPO. I am curious how it sounds with the digital core.

Robert! Finding you all over the place! ;)

@michaelt_tamtam 3 года назад

Hey Chris, do you know if the Intellijel Dixie 2+ has a pure sinewave? I have a feeling it's really close

@LearningModular 3 года назад

It's not bad. It does have a bit of 2nd and a little more 3rd harmonic in it as well, but overall it's better than average for an analog VCO.

@michaelt_tamtam 3 года назад

@@LearningModular that's great. Also, thank you for the fast and informative response.

@srcodling 6 лет назад

are videos 3, 4 and 5 available anywhere?

@LearningModular 6 лет назад

There's a chance they may be made public later, but I have no schedule for that. In the meantime, they're available in the extended version of my Eurorack Expansion course (learningmodular.com/register/learning-modular-synthesis-eurorack-expansion/), or to my Patreon subscribers (www.patreon.com/LearningModular).

@srcodling 6 лет назад

Thanks, Chris. I am a Patreon supporter of yours for a while now, but can only find some of the videos by scrolling through back a number of months. The Endorphin.es tag doesn't seem to bring them all up - could it be some tags (e.g. Endorphin.es, complex oscillator, etc.) are missing from some of the videos? Anyways, found them now, and many thanks for doing these - the number of modules I've purchased based on your courses is quite impressive, actually :-)

@LearningModular 6 лет назад

I agree that the search engine on Patreon is terrible. For those who have access to the extended version of the Eurorack Expansion course on LearningModular.com (including +5v and above Patreon supporters), the Furthrrrr videos start here: learningmodular.com/module-3/endorphin-es-furthrrrr-generator-1-5-overview/ For Patreon supporters, I included more information with each video. In order, those direct Patreon links are: www.patreon.com/posts/endorphin-es-17226762 www.patreon.com/posts/comparing-linear-17505848 www.patreon.com/posts/furthrrrr-and-17659442 www.patreon.com/posts/furthrrrr-wave-17790685 www.patreon.com/posts/furthrrrr-hard-17835698

@srcodling 6 лет назад

Thanks - I've emailed you (through Learning Modular, not through Patreon which is terrible for contacting people, as well as searching as you say) for access to the Expansion course, since I've supported at 5v for a while now :-). Keep up the great work! Looking forward to Patch & Tweak, too, to go with my PushTurnMove!

@docsample 5 лет назад

Why would installing the digital core as the modulator vs carrier cause loss of low end?

@LearningModular 5 лет назад

The digital core does not support an LFO mode.

@mrotaveria 6 лет назад

Danm, now i want that chip!

@LearningModular 6 лет назад

I think it's worth it. Plus you get to keep the original analog triangle core chip, so you can swap it back in if you want.

@mrotaveria 6 лет назад

I didnt know my Furthrrrr could go in that sound territory, This core is now in my list for sure.

@geirs5662 5 лет назад

Are you going to release 3-5?

@LearningModular 5 лет назад

They've already been released through the extended Eurorack Expansion course available through learningmodular.com/training/. If you're curious, as a general rule, when a manufacturer helps me get their module to create videos, all of the resulting videos are public and free, When I have buy the module out of my own pocket, then the people who help me buy the modules - my Patreon supporters and those who buy my courses - get to see all of the movies I create for that module. Regardless, I make the intro movies for every module public and free. I also disable ads own RU-vid so everyone gets to watch the available movies without interruptions.

@geirs5662 5 лет назад

Learning Modular Fair enough, thanks. Ill check your course :)

@LearningModular 5 лет назад

@@Nick-kb6jd Since the original Eurorack Expansion course was created for Lynda/LinkedIn, I have continued to add more modules. Lynda/LinkedIn was not set up to take these additional movies, so I now host the extended version of Eurorack Expansion on the Learning Modular web site (learningmodular.com/register/learning-modular-synthesis-eurorack-expansion/). There are now over 150 movies in the course (including ones covering this module), with plans to add many more.

Can't find the furthrrrr parts 3-5

@LearningModular 5 месяцев назад

They're part of the Eurorack Expansion course on courses.learningmodular.com . I decided to make parts 1 and 2 public as they were general concepts I thought would benefit a lot people.
