The Math Behind Music and Sound Synthesis 

Mad skillset. Maths, music, coding, video editing, and a factual, no BS approach to the gist of the matter. Looking forward to your upcoming stuff. Cheers, mate.

Was this just an elaborate scheme to show us that sick beat? (I absolutely loved the video btw)

The Algorithm has found you, friend.

The way you animate and explain is incredible

You really thought you could sneak *the lick* past us at 7:27, huh ;)

when he started building the song as he was explaining the waveform sounds i wanted to cry. that was so beautiful

This covers so much ground in such a small amount of time, really helped by such intuitive animations. I’m going to share this with all my musician mates.

This channel have so much potential

that little beat at the end was a banger

Your channel reminds me of the best parts of college. Learning different concepts in a relatively short span, and being endlessly fascinated with the core concepts. Thanks for taking the time to make these.

I started making electronic music around 2011 when my friend showed me a java programm that would make the speaker play a series or beeps. I started off writing music exclusively as rows and rows of ascii code that would then be read by some newer version of the software provided by that friend and generate a .wav file from that. The catch was: every instrument had to be defined as a math function of time. Coming from that perspective, i can tell you: Sound design is a lot harder than just adding some waves. I tried, and i failed a lot. I was so happy the first time i managed to make a decent FM bass that the sound cougth me completely off guard. XD Even worse, i was never really into games or chiptune stuff; i was just to lazy to install FL studio or something similar that would make me some "professional" tunes. I eventually switched to linux multi media studio around 2015, but came back to that raw saw&square sound last year. Now i'm trying to make the most out of it and see if this weird software where every sound is pure math-hell could be used for educational purposes. The new version featues a simple syntax for microtones and even has some basic filters. And we simplified the syntax a lot. I'm currently preparing a bunch of slides for a small presentation or vid about the math of the so called microtonal intervals and natural/non-12TET tuning systems. But my channel isn't exactly an educational channel, so it may as well be a waste of time or just something for myself to spend the time in lockdown. But if you are curious/interested in this stuff i could send you a .zip with the software and some demo files for easier demo sounds than the ones you used for this vid (like playing actuall 400Hz tones or really perfect fifths ;) ). Have a nice day and stay save :)

Wow, you explained it far better than anyone else! I needed this kind of scientific explanation of music, all other people talk about "rules" and that "you have to feel it, just redo it over and over and you'll get it". This filled the empty space in my soul 😍

@11:30 I want a 1 hour version of this Nice vid, new sub here 👏👏

I am just a kid... learning math, science Now I can see how to corelate them easily. Glad you made this video !!!

Ive noticed many smaller channels popping up recently with massive potential. This has got to be the best, i love how chill the whole video is

I love this channel so much. You should have at least a million subs!!!! Such quality is so...beautiful to see. Please keep up the good work!

Amazing video man! I rarely comment on videos but think what you do is great! You manage to explain the mathematics behind it quite intuitively while also making it appealing, factual and to the point. Looking forward to the moment your channel blows up!

Amazing video! Your videos are all of phenomenal quality. You have a true talent to break a complex topic down to essentials, and then build it back up clearly, logically, and with concrete examples. Looking forward to your future videos!

Dude you crushed it. The visuals really made it easy to learn, and I liked listening to the song you made at the end.

this video is so incredibly underrated and interesting, love the way you explained and animated everything

Great vizual effects!! this is simple and clear. I want more series. nice job!

This video is amazingly put together, thank you for making this

This is incredible, the "editing" since you made the graphics library, the story telling, the content in it, everything was awesome.

This is beautiful. I’ve always wondered how music is mathematically structured-especially electronic music-and this video offers a brief yet clear introduction of the core concepts. And the culmination of everything we learned at the end with all the waves coming together genuinely brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

I stumbled upon your channel today. What a revelation, I subscribed straight away and love the maths. Your channel never showed up in a search of RU-vid channels on maths, so today was pure luck. I'm skimming through the videos, but at some stage, I will be binge-watching them. The content and the beautiful graphics are treat. Cheers. 👍

Bro I did not expect you to be that deep in the musical rabbit hole. You even used memes like da lick (7:26)

I think it was the clearest explanation of the fourier series and sound design that I've ever seen. Amazing job.

Oh man, just found my new favorite Chanel, thanks dude, I was really needing this knowledge, and it up with the sick beats to

Thank you for so simply and quickly explaining these fundamentals with great illustrations! I will keep coming back to this and your channel!

wow, I love the fact that this video is so detailed and explains everything so well! I normally don't leave comments on videos, but I really feel like I should do it here for the algorithm! :)

Before seeing this video, i suspected that there was probably some maths behind sounds. This video confirms it and is exremely clear and helpful. Thank you.

The way you summed up and delivered these topics was brilliant!

This is such an amazing video!!! Thanks so much for having this up on the web!

Dude I never comment but this is high quality material and so informative, your channel deserves so much attention and I’m sure you’ll get it

Man, I have seen so many people try to explain this, but you did it the best by far. Specifically I was always confused about how the square, triangle, etc. waves could be the "sum" of a bunch of sinusoids, it didn't really make sense looking at the shape. But this video paired with the calculus class I am taking really helped me understand where that comes from. Thank you so much!

Damn your videos are so good, incredible content. Wasn't expecting a sick chiptune bit at the end, love it!❤️

This got recommended to me. I thought I would knew all of this already, but still learned some new things. Keep it up!

This gave me such better understanding of music it is crazy! It just immediately clicked with me thinking about how our brains superpower is abstraction. It also finally made a lot of sense that culture impacts our musical understanding and preference. Especially why the rough integer approximation in a triard is working if you consider western music theroy. I would love a follow up video talking about a few of those things. Awesome work! It really inspired me and probably will help me understand many more things in the future.

This is an incredible video. Even as an electronic music producer and someone who loves math, physics, and sound design, I still never fully understood how these sound waves worked. You explain everything so clearly and make it enjoyable to watch. Thank you.

Awesome vid! Gotta say that all projects on this channel are really intriguing! Many of these have been on my mind as fun project ideas. It's so nice when someone else has already implemented them along with a great videos, so there's no need to experiment with them by oneself anymore. 😝

The way you explain that is clean like a professional mix ;) Thank You!

This channel is gonna blow up. Great video by the way!

Great content, amazing visuals, maths, music theory. Masterpiece!

This video is genuinely fantastic! Great work!

Man, this is absolutely golden. I've been looking for a video like this for ages

I've been watching your videos the whole evening. You made my day.

This channel have some potential to be popular. Keep up the good work!

I am speechless, this is just awesome. The most helpful vid on the topic I've ever watched

Nicely presented. Thank you !

you are a freakin genius homie! keep up the good work! the beat at the end was amazing!

That was an absolutely outstanding video! Instant sub from me. Can't wait to see what more you have in store for us!

I made an immediate connection with this information to the analog organ I acquired from a church several years ago. This was SO COOL!

That explanation was super. It is like music is singing out the beauties in mathematics. Also, love that last music where you combined all the instruments together into one great orchestra!

Fantastic explanations and extremely nice, that you show examples whereever possible. Kudos!

Great explanations. You brought maths, music theory and instrument synthesis together very clearly.

Such a beautiful description, and such a sick beat it had me dancing instantly!

Nice video, I was looking for that. Thank you!

Great informative and interesting video. Very well explained and visualized as well. Your video deserves much more attention.

Incredible work, you got my hype for your next vids :)

Absolute gold. Completely captivating

Amazing! Thank you so much for this!

Great video. Informative, visually appealing, and very well produced.

Absolutely excellent video. I am writing a paper on additive synthesis and its relation to mathematics and this was excellent help. Thank you so much!

GG on 1k subs, you reached 1k overnight, nice to see how the algorithm blessed you

The quality of the videos is amazing, I'm subbing

Glad this stumbled upon me, I have always wanted to learn about the mathematics of music, not just the addition needed in notes but stuff like this. Thank you!!

This is extremely high quality content! Subscribed!

You've made some great content, my man! Subscribed!

Best video i've seen in while! you're really good at educating 🙌

Awesome vid! Thank you for this.

thanks for the beautiful math and animations ! awesome, hope to see more !

I just found this channel. Left a like, comment, and subscribed to please the algorithm. Keep up the good work man! This is excellent content!

Thank you man, so helpful. Please do more video talk about the math behind music. Producer needs a ton of these knowledge.

Very approachable and informative intro to waves! Thank you

Dude this would have to be the best video ever made, ever. Ever ever. Thanks

Sup, i know you probably wont see this comment, but I just want to say that this video is amazing. I was doing presentation for my math class about math in music and this video gave me enough knowledge. It is also made a way that I can understand it even tho I'm not a native speaker. Thank you very much for your work.

Awesome video! Thank you!

What an amazing video! Thanks!

Thank You so much for putting this video together, most informative. Thank You!

This entire channel is just amazing, please make more videos

Nice Input, Loved it

Very resourceful video! Thank you for the good explanation.

This video is absolutely amazing!

I've never seen before so good explanation of theory of sound and harmonics! It was great! Thanks!

Silly high quality for a channel with four videos, you're obviously putting in work and I really hope it pays off for you man. 👍

Wow! Lots of valuable information in just 12 min.! Thanx!

i hated everything about math in school, but your videos man, made me change my mind (not gonna start learning it tho). waiting for more !!

very nice work! Thanks!

Really enjoyed that. Flyover which quickly touches the math of music and spans to synthesized sound design. No wonder you get 10% like rate. This video should receive an award. Cheers.

Seeing how the formulas manipulated the humble sine wave into the other waveforms was awesome to see! Thanks for making this vid dude

Great video! I'm fairly interested in trying out sound design, and this video has single-handedly gave me a greater understanding of the basics of sound!

So glad I found this channel! Incredibly high quality content

You made me download Matlab again. I am an electronics & telecommunication engineer. I was always feeling that i can connect math. with music. However, i could never find a clear video which explains basics that good. Very good job...

Thanks for the knowledge!

Uau! Thank you! Please, don't stop!

The beat at the end was really nice!

What I just learned? Thank you for making this 🔥

Probably one of my favorite videos on the internet right now..

Excellent description and presentation, that kind of teaching should be standard in schools & universities.

Wowww... That was amazing dude!!🔥🔥🔥
