Sound design and synthesis concepts with Retro
- [Voiceover] Now let's take a look at retro. Retro is a synthesizer that's relatively new in logic, and it's great for working in a wide variety of genres and styles. It's also really great for understanding some basic sound design parameters, because its interface is pretty simple, and there are some pretty standard parameters that are common to many synthesizers, and they're laid out right in front of you here. So let's take a look at what we're looking at. First, we have the mean view and there is our oscillator section, our filter section, our amp section, an effects section, and then our modulation section. And we have a glide over here. I'll explain glide in just a second. But essentially, there are four main modes in retro. There's analog mode, which kind of models a variety of pretty standard analog synthesizers. There's sync mode, which is like analog mode, except that the second oscillator syncs to the first oscillator, so you can do some interesting sync modulation there…
