Learn synthesis

Hands-on steps from one oscillator to a full patch. Each step sets up a board for you, so there's only one or two blocks to add or settings to change. Play with them, then match the target. Hints are there if you want them.

Step 14 of 16

Warp reshapes the wave

Warp bends an oscillator's wave into new shapes, like Serum's warp modes. Sync restarts the wave faster than the note, for a hard, vocal edge. PWM squeezes half of the wave thinner, so a square turns nasal. Bend pushes the wave toward its middle.

Amount sets how far it goes. Aim an LFO at the warp and it sweeps while the note plays.

Your turn. In Osc A, set the warp the target uses: a hard, tearing edge.
