Clojurians Log v2

In terms of fundamentals, it helps to have some understanding of sound and synthesis basics. Types of waveforms, oscillators, filters. It also helps to have some understanding of music theory. Neither are truly essential. You can skip the first and just use built in instruments and samples. You can skip the second and just experiment with patterns of rhythms and notes until you find something that sounds nice. But it pays off to explore these concepts. There's tons and tons of great youtube videos about these things

Yes!! Some few random resources below • https://www.soundonsound.com/series/synth-secrets-sound-sound • https://scsynth.org/t/diving-deeper-into-sound-design/6825/12 • https://www.amazon.ca/Designing-Sound-Andy-Farnell/dp/0262014416 (it’s for pure data (another language, but visual), but it’s great, I’ve read this in the past) • https://nathan.ho.name/ • https://www.prestomusic.com/books/products/9530230--fieldsteel-eli-supercollider-for-the-creative-musician

Overtone uses supercollider behind the scenes, and for SC you much more learning resources. You can learn about scsynth (SC server that overtone connects to) concepts using sclang (lang created by the SC folks, like CLJ, it also has good interactivity) by checking https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPYzvS8A_rTaNDweXe6PX4CXSGq4iEWYC&si=2SAbRJLdx1EcuDR1, you will be able to use the same concepts in overtone. In the overtone repo, there is https://github.com/overtone/overtone/tree/master/src/overtone/examples/getting_started Make your sound now \o/

It would be good some weekly or monthly jam where I could watch folks using overtone ahahaha

I appreciate all the resources! Music Theory + synths are definitely bodies of knowledge I'm lacking, all of these tutorials and articles are getting bookmarked gratitude❤️

Ableton has a pretty nice online tutorial on synthesis https://learningsynths.ableton.com/

that would be nice!
