Uh, hey. I just wanted to say that this article was really clear and I learned a lot from it, I hope it remains generally as it is.

Hello, I'm not the user above but I also wanted to say this article is awsome and very well written. The sound files also give a very clear sounding explanation. I hope you write more on this and other synthesis topics. 213.176.148.218 05:06, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Would it be excessive to list several of the more popular subtractive hardware and software synths with links to their wikipedia articles here? Sheer panic 03:41, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


Strictly speaking it is not just overtones that are subtracted in subtractive synthesis. Neither is is harmonics as this implies only the harmonic series. I can't think of a better term?? Analog Hell 15:48, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
