I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily better, just because the modulation is a bit cumbersome compared to the drag and drop workflow, but as far as features and power it’s a must have for portable sound design for me

Lots of masterclasses updated regularly available for ARCANUM members - Hudba
Available for iPhone now - I’ve been going through the DNB Academy Serum tutorials and recreating them in Buttersynth!
Wow Alckemy this is such an awesome synth plugin I love it. Big up.👊
Yessss, could not remember which stream this was in - thanks!
Thanks man, great tutorial! I’ll be getting this in a couple of days😊
Thanks for the nice video! If you want to assign modulation quickly you can do that from the long press menu. So just long press to some knob and select the modulation source from the list. ButterSynth v.1.01 has just been released with iPhone support and lots of bugs has been fixed including the bug you found where you couldn't load wavetable to FM osc.
Thanks for the update and clarification! Please keep working on it and thank you for giving something direly needed (wavetable maker) on iOS
Will also be grabbing the iPhone version 100%
I’ve been holding out for a iPhone “Serum” for a long time now - Synthmaster 2 (or 3?) was touted to be just that but I think I’ll be sticking with Buttersynth! Thanks for the hard work!
This was awesome. Many thanks!
Thank you so much!
I must get my hands on this!!💯👽
Be nice to see a ButterSynth tutorials playlist 🎉
You’re the guy for the job I reckon 👍🏼👍🏼
In fact - I’d buy a butter preset bank from you - I like your sounds
But yea, keen to see what you do with this;
I’m new to wavetable synthesis … kinda missed the serum era due to iPad only so woohoo for ButterSynth 🎉
Love this
You don’t have to do everything from the Matrix when setting up modulation. Just long-press on a controller to bring up the quick assign menu. This is something you’re going to have to get used to on iOS. A lot of devs put features under long-press commands
In a lot of apps.
.
The LFO’s unfortunately does not have free sync (not sure why Arto didn’t put it in there). However you could use the Curve Envelopes as LFO’s. Just load or draw whatever wave you want. Then set it to [Free run].
.
The Key zone editor allows you to set up key zones for Oscillators individually. You could have FM only triggering when you play C1-C3, Wavetable 1 triggering between C3-C4 etc.
Thanks Jakob! I watch a lot of your videos:) For some reason I thought I tried long hold and couldn’t get the pop up but Arto commented on here as well.
Cheers!
@@AlckemyYeah It can be a bit tricky getting the commands right. Remember having a bit of an issue with the long-press time. I’ve got ADHD and so I’m extremely impatient. Missed a lot of things because of it. But I also didn’t think this menu existed in the beginning. 😅
@@JakobHaq glad it’s here now! Btw I’d love to see a logic vs other iPad daws from you if you get the chance
I have in my rusty IPAD 2 and work flawlessly
honestly, I'm not sure why anyone buys hardware synths anymore except for the nostalgia....
To be fair having a physicality to things help a ton. And I love iOS but it is glass
The way I wish things were is basically, companies would release quite a nice MIDI controller or like, 3 levels of MIDI controllers from hobby to professional, and then have a large and continually updated suite of software instruments that were automapped to that specific controller. I mean, Arturia's Analog Lab is a bit like this, but I'm more imagining third-party developers and random people being able to cook up like a full custom firmware and have it work out of the box with the controller.
@@Alckemy Only one midi synth suffices me.. I don't need to buy every and any hardware I find.. and I can play the same sounds on ONE single piece.
Honestly I’m getting buttersynth to hold me over until I buy a Modwave. It’s also really convenient when I’m at work, I can make basses to sample into my M8
its a treasure
It’s will be available for iPhone, it’s in beta
Seven Seas modules in mirack allows to draw WTS
Tera Pro has WT creation via an IAP
It’s already out for iPhone in full release:)
“phase” knob adds randomness to phase start of every unison voice .. if you turn phase to 0 then detune sounds weird cause all unison voices start with same phase, perfectly synced - so it sounds a bit like flamger… try turn phase to MAX (then every unison voice starts with completely different phase)
FMX is almost 1:1 emulation of famous Nord Lead 1/2 oscillators FM modulation ;-)
You actually want zero random phase because it gives you consistent pulsing when two waveforms are detuned for bass:) every synth sounds different when detuned, this one is no different. Cool tip about the fmx tho!
@@Alckemy yeah m, true, depends on sound type, you are true in bass cases, for example for leads and esecially pads, chords in most of cases i actually use phase set to max to get nice smooth stereo detund spread ...
You can make wavetables in the seven seas module in MiRack, and Animoog z, (on the fly) but not to this extent…ButterSynth is rather fantastic.
Really glad you're doing this content, honestly your stuff is over my head but maybe I can catch up with a bit of the IpadOS stuff, I was having a hard time justifying the ❤sub
The content will always be up when you’re ready to dive in but I am doing some more review stuff. Really with what I’m showing if you can catch a glimpse of anything that sparks an idea for you to try then it’s useful^^
@@Alckemy I've been picking up a lot of these apps, some at your suggedtion and here and there, I have slot of great software now I need to use it lol
In one of your streams I suggested Tera Pro by VirSyn, but it was only for iPad back then. It’s been released for iPhone now. Semi modular synth with wavetable osc and spectral osc and basically everything.
Thanks for the reminder, does it have a wavetable maker though?
@@Alckemy yes. but it's a 5$ iap, but the synth itself is only like 10$. oh and it also has a spectral osc
@@SnetremAip I’ll look into it. So far I’ve seen wavetable synthesis but no wavetable maker
@@Alckemy oh sorry. I must’ve misunderstood you. No drawable wavetable maker. I think you are right with butter synth being the only iOS synth that has that feature. You can easily record a Modulation progress inside Tera pro and reimport it as a wavetable. It worked very well for me.
@@SnetremAip oh that’s still interesting though maybe not the ideal situation. Thanks!
Great 👍 video. I’ve subscribed.
Thank you!
thanks for this video! where can I find your masterclasses on bass design?
Thanks for asking! There are a bunch of public videos on my channel and then the latest ones on the arcanum membership. It gives you access to all the exclusive videos I have on there which are quite a bit now
Namaskar 🙏🏽🖤🙏🏽 I’m new😝 the other fm mod emulate the fm mode from nord synth as I know
How do you do multitimbral stuff on the ipad? Do you need some kind of daw or are these synth apps multitimbral?
Do you mean polyphonic? They usually have a keyboard at the bottom of a synth. Or you can use a midi keyboard, or use a groove box/daw
@@Alckemy no, polyphonic means you can play more than one note at a time (ie a chord). Whereas multitimbral means you can play two voices at a time (ie layer two or more sounds like strings and piano).
@@MarianoPerez butter synth lets you have several different voices playing at once; DRambo lets you create instrument layers like you would in bitwig or ableton^
Anyone know if the sequencer works in scales ?
I don’t think so
Nave has a wavetable editor.
May check it out ^
@@Alckemy it’s actually very good. I am going to get butter synth.
Thanks so much for sharing a piece of the mobile music production ecosystem! Jakoq Haq did a hugely detailed breakdown of this very synth as well: czcams.com/video/9_PTEF_eoKQ/video.html
Thanks for watching! I watch you both when I’m looking into iPad apps from time time^^
This has airwindows inside? Woa
I’m curious what do you mena?
Yes, all the Fx are Airwindows
@@cokomairenaloook up AirWindows, Chris, dudes a programming genius and let’s everything out open source. abarg told me about him
ButterSynth or synthmaster in ios?
I prefer Buttersynth as it has a better interface and can actually make wavetables. Synthmaster can import but not make them from scratch I don’t think
@@AlckemyI like them both because butter synths fx are very simple if they will make them better then I’m all in…
It has no sample start and end point - in my mind that is utterly ridiculous, is it not?
Serum doesn’t either? It doesn’t even have a real sampler lol
@@Alckemy I don’t know about Serum - it just seems an odd decision not to include such a thing. I’d probably be better off with Woodsynth in fact. I appreciate Buttersynth does a great deal but it would just boggle my tiny little mind! To put that another way - I’d rather be limited than confused 😂
Okay-- hear me out-- I'm not trying to be a hater at all, but I never really understood why being able to make your own wavetables was such a big deal / desirable. What am I missing here? Is it "just" about being able to make shit that is 100% custom and yours, or are there other reasons that I don't get?
I have seen some sound design tutorials for Serum & Vital where the fundamental is removed or tweaked for sound design purposes (ie, having a solid sub w/ wide low mids, I think). So that makes sense. And importing already made wavetables also makes sense. But this kind of freestyling your whole wavetable by randomly drawing in squiggles thing that is so in vogue with some producers, I'm not sure I get it yet. Seems like extra steps for no clear gain that I can see over using already made tables
Again, not trying to be a dick here, I really like your channel and videos and respect your skills and grind. I guess I'm hoping that you can help me understand the purpose behind this tutorial.
For context: I've recently gotten an iPad and am using it more as a sound module over doing everthing on my laptop DAW. I'm loving the workflow and the amazing apps for iOS. And I already have Buttersynth, and have been eyeing other wavetable synths in hopes of finding "the one" for me on iOS (butter is a little not what I'm after both sonically and interface wise). So I'm _right_ there with the whole premise of making nasty basses in iOS, but hoping maybe you can clarify this point.
wavetables offer a starting point to jump into the subtractive aspect of sound design. if you have a waveform where you can control the harmonics, it means you don’t have to wave shape it little by little just to get a thick sound…. to THEN start processing.
if your table has a lot of motion in it as well, then it’s a big head start for creating interesting and evolving basses. it’s not required, but I love that I can make tables on the iPad and then send them into phase plant later. divi-ing up tasks to where I’m not always at the computer (is this is what I do for work) is very refreshing.
Prepare to have your ears BLOWN, this guy has zero idea of sound levels and also mic placement. 😡
Chill out there, youtube and streaming has a -7 luf cap so if the levels are uneven just keep the volume low and use subtitles.
@@Alckemy LOL any other video in YT can work this out properly, this is unwatchable.
Run all your audio through normalize, see the waveform and you’ll see how far off you are.
@@MeAlexSenna cool, skip the video then.
