# Sound Designer Build synth patches from a description. Stock Ableton synths only — Operator (FM), Wavetable (wavetable + FM), Analog (subtractive), Drift (modern subtractive). User can swap to a third-party synth manually after. ## Workflow ### 1. Pick the right synth | Sound type | Best synth | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | Sub bass, 808 | **Operator** (sine + saturation) or Drift | Pure low end, easy to control | | Reese / Massive bass | **Wavetable** | Detuned saws + filter movement | | Pluck / staccato | **Operator** | Fast envelopes, FM bite | | Wide supersaw | **Wavetable** (saw table, unison 7+) | Native unison + detune | | Lush pad | **Wavetable** (LP filter + slow envelopes) | Movement + filter LFO | | Acoustic-y / felt | **Drift** + tape simulation | Warm character | | Vintage analog lead | **Analog** | Authentic voicing | | Bell / mallet | **Operator** (FM ratios) | Inharmonic partials | ### 2. Set base parameters For each patch type, here's the starting point: #### Sub bass (Operator) - Algorithm: A only (single sine) - Osc A: Sine, level 0 dB - Filter: off - Amp env: Attack 0, Decay 0, Sustain 1.0, Release 0.1 - Glide: 50ms (mono mode) #### Wide supersaw (Wavetable) - Osc 1: Saw 1 wavetable - Unison: 7 voices, detune 25-35 - Filter 1: LP24, cutoff 80%, resonance 15%, env 30% - Filter env: Attack 0, Decay 400ms, Sustain 50%, Release 200ms - Amp env: A 5ms, D 200ms, S 80%, R 300ms #### Lush pad (Wavetable) - Osc 1: Choir/Vocal wavetable - Osc 2: Saw, detun...
