For example, you might add a control in the bottom half that is a low-frequency oscillator (LFO). The reason for doing this is to add movement to the sound. In most cases this is one of the parameters of the virtual synthesiser in the top half (although controls can also be linked to another control). Each of these controls is connected to one or more of the soundвЂ™s parameter and they are essentially independent of each other. Unlike the top half of the screen, these controls donвЂ™t flow from left to right. This half of the interface is much more dynamic that the top in that you can add and remove controls - in fact you can add so many controls that the bar in the middle of the screen is there to show you to which portion of the controls are currently visible on the screen.

The bottom half of the screen, however, is where you can make the sound really come alive. By adjusting the various settings of this virtual synthesiser your can make a wide variety of sounds without even touching the bottom half of the screen. Shown, in order from left to right, are: the oscillators, the filters, the delay effect and then some mixing controls for combining the dry signal with the delayed signal. The top half of the screen is relatively static in that it represents the virtual hardware you are controlling. The main thing to understand with FabFilterвЂ™s interface that isnвЂ™t immediately obvious is the reason behind the division into two halves, top and bottom. ItвЂ™s amazing how much more you know about an application after reading itвЂ™s manual.

To this end I started reading the book вЂњHow to Make Noise, Analog SynthesisвЂќ ( ) The book is primarily about the abstract concepts behind analog sound synthesis but by happy coincidence FabFilter was one of the synthesisers used when giving practical examples.Д«olstered by this new-found knowledge I then took the radical step of also reading the manual for FabFilter Twin 2. Once I started to want more control over the sounds I was using, however, I realised I had to learn a lot more about how analog synthesisers work. I use FabFilter Twin 2 ( ) as my main synthesiser in Ableton Live and up until recently I had been content to just use the preset patches. IвЂ™m beginning with a song called Miracles and I still have a lot to learn about electronic music as I continue to make the transition away from more traditional acoustic instruments. Well, IвЂ™ve finally decided to get my butt into gear and start recording again.
