Sound Design Theory: Sound Sources and Oscillators

Published at : 18 Dec 2025

First episode of the Sound Design Theory series.
To make any sound you'll need 3 things:
- A sound source (a sound to process)
- Effect modules (to process the sound)
- Control modules (to add movement to the sound)
In this episode we'll focus on the first category, and more particularly on the oscillator. See how they work and the different tricks you can do with such "simple" modules.
