Synth Snackables: Legowelt - Peak: three-oscillator harmonics // Novation

“You can detune each pitch of the oscillator into different notes” – Legowelt Highlighting an essential synth tip for creating harmonic sounds, Legowelt detunes each oscillator pitch with the coarse function to create a minor triad. By simply playing other keys polyphonically and opening the sound up with envelopes, he creates a deep dreamy soundscape. “I haven’t even changed the waveforms and the Peak has an amazing amount of waveforms.” Legowelt shows how you can add richness and depth to the chord by changing the waveforms of the oscillators and adding LFO. He also demonstrates a more advanced tip that involves detuning two oscillators so that they play discretely – an effective way to simulate acoustic instruments and add harmonic character.
