This is one of the few people who connects math and music in a way that's both useful and interesting. I followed this channel back when I found the video on Fourier transforms[1], but never looked at other videos. I've never really thought about the math of consonance and dissonance, but I use it all the time without realizing it.
For example: a hypersaw. That's 7 saws slightly detuned played at the same time. The more you detune them, the worse it sounds. If you own Serum, you can hear this in realtime if you make a 7 voice saw and play with the detune knob.
You can use an LFO to modulate this and get a sound that's a little uneasy while still somehow being harmonious. It's perfect for dark/spooky music.

- nicetryguy 6y agoA little detuning goes a long way! It gives it that full warbly phase sound. 5-10 cents down is usually my sweet spot for synth plugins. I even detune one string on each key on my piano about 5-10 cents down, it gives it some life! Natural phasing sounds awesome.
