"Yes, it's basic, monophonic, and limited to sin waves, but I challenge you to create a velocity sensitive synth in less than 1 minute with fewer max objects!

I'm going to add features in future tutorials, including polyphony, other waveforms, filters, envelopes and much more, so subscribe and tune in! Will include modulation for that dubstep/DNB wobble of course!"

M4L : One minute synth Pt 2 : the ADSR~ envelope : Learning Max for Ableton live tutorial

Uploaded by eameres2 on Mar 2, 2011

"Second Part of our "one minute max" tutorials. Today we add an ADSR (Attack Decay Sustain Release" envelope to our mono-synth. This allows you to control the basic timing of the sound. Short attack and long decay/release for a bell like tone, full sustain and no release for a flute/organ like tone, etc.

I was able to get the bulk of the work done in under a minute, but I took a some extra time to explain things and label our new synths parameters. I don't want to short-change anyone!

Note that the first argument of the ADSR~ object is the trigger, and it preserves the velocity sensitivity "feature" we have going! The envelope varies from 0.0 to 1.0 so multiplying it against our signal is what gives our sound "shape".

Subscribe and tune in 2 days or so, we'll be adding a basic filter and eventually be adding polyphony! And of course useful dubstep and DNB effects!"
