Other synthesis methods overview

There are many ways to create sounds, using different technologies and approaches to synthesis. This section covers all main methods, with reference to Logic Pro X instruments where applicable.

Many of the methods described incorporate at least some elements of the subtractive synthesis design. See How subtractive synthesizers work.

• Sample-based synthesis

• Frequency modulation (FM) synthesis

• Component modeling synthesis

• Wavetable, Vector, and Linear Arithmetic synthesis

• Additive synthesis

• Spectral synthesis

• Resynthesis

• Phase distortion synthesis

• Granular synthesis
