Understanding Sound Design on the Volca FM - Episode 4: LFOs 

This tutorials are amazing! The volca FM is an incredible machine and you help me to understand a lot of parameters. THANKS!

Excellent hands on demonstration of the volca FM ,take delivery this week of mine so I’m looking forward to experimenting with it. thank you

Your LFO key sync selection explanation...thanks for that one.

so good at communicating this super complex stuff

"And if you're Nick Batt, you send it to the pulse width"...😂😂😂😂

Absolutely great video. It makes everything much clearer! Thanks very much.

Want to pause on this takeaway (likely a simplification but still significant): LFO -> amp = tremolo LFO -> filter = wobble LFO -> pitch = siren LFO -> pulse width for pulse width modulation.

having watched your hands, i am convinced you were a lobster in a former life..... ;-) good vid!

Thank you very much for your tutorial series. It helps me to understand the volca fm. 🎩✨👍

So interesting! Thank you very much for all your videos

Awesome tutorials man!!! Thank you!

Great stuff! Greetings from Brasil!

Another great tutorial - thanks!

Again, a great tutorial!

thank you!

Another excellent video. Thank you.

So I replied about the nick batt joke and I'm now realizing I didn't make it through the whole video. When you mention syncing LFO delay to tempo, do you know if the numbers correspond to any specific units of time? Or is it mostly by ear in relation to incoming midi clock (if any)? Anyway, these videos are truly opening up FM synthesis to me...if slowly because so much of it is counterintuitive lol. But thank you so much for the videos!

With the sample and hold LFO, to avoid the glitches, you said there are certain things you might want to turn down. What are they?

Ok for some reason when I want lfo to modulate amp on operators, it doesnt do anything. I set all "AMS" parameter on all operator to 3 and I dont hear any difference even though depth on lfo is all the way up and "LAMd" parameter all the way up as well. Im getting frustrated :/

thanks for going above and beyond - much appreciated! i didn't really want to get into this much detail for the fm but i fear i must to get the most out of the beast. i like the way the earlier vids simplify things and start out with only 2 operators, a carrier and a modulator so you can actually clearly hear the changes. do i simply turn off operators 3-6? which algorithm is best to use, some have a 'looped' modulator 2? my biggest gripe with the fm is the difficulty creating/recording a track or layering different patterns over each other. i much prefer the volca bass way of doing things, with 3 oscillators/voices that can be layered over each other and a step mode. right now i'm forced to record a loop from fm into audacity and then create a new pattern/loop with a new program and algorithm etc and record that over the 1st loop. is there an easier way? thanks again.

what parameter does the modulators wave form modulate in the carrier? thanks

I always wondered why the modulator is on the left and the carrier is on the right. It seems obvious to have the carrier first, then think of the modulator affecting that. Especially since the carrier is operator 1? Is this a Japanese right to left thing?

Thanks again. I was wondering why the LFOP knob didn't work on certain preset patches. Now I know. Currently experimenting with chord-spread/pseudo-arpeggio on algorithm 32 (as explained in ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oceFFISc11A.html). I like the LFO-delay setting very much. Keep up the good work as it's really appreciated here.

Wow. This one was complex...

Which firmware are you running today ? Thank you

LFO is really not working no matter what. Could it be that the synthmata editor stops that from working?

There are 6 operators??? What is the other 4?

Is it possible to 'export' (save) a patch to pc ?

no LFO sync to tempo :(
