2nd Oscillator Helm - Software Synthesizer -
This tutorial will explore the 2nd oscillator in the software synth Helm. There are two oscillators in Helm which both function exactly the same way.
Knowing how to use these two oscillators will give you great control over tone production in Helm.
Oscillator 2 functions exactly the same as oscillator 1, but the key is how they work together. Sound synthesis is all about the result of combining sounds together. When we combine 2 different waveforms, for example the result will be something completely different from the two original waveforms. So Helm gives us two oscillators to use as a foundation for our sound synthesis.
The best way to learn to use these two oscillators is to start making sounds with them.
