Learn Modern Synthesis - Hardware and Software for any genre

Have you always wanted to approach a hardware synth like a Moog or a software synth like Massive and understand how to program it? Well this course is for you.

The goal of this course is to provide students with a fundamental understanding of how synthesizers work and how to manipulate them to create the sounds they've always wanted to make.

Learn essential synth elements such as oscillators, filters, and envelopes: what they do, how they work together, and how to go about creating sounds beyond the manufacturer’s pre-set patches.


UPON FINISHING THIS COURSE YOU WILL KNOW:

  • How to identify just about any synthesizer by type, old or new, and how to use it

  • How to create any sound of your own concept using a hardware or software synthesizer

  • How to incorporate synthesizers and synth-style processing techniques into DAW programs like Ableton Live

  • How to distinguish where your favourite “retro” synth sounds come from along with other classic sounds like those made by Moog, ARP and Oberheim

TOPICS COVERED

  • Signal Generators and Signal Modifiers

  • Types of Synthesis  (subtractive, additive, FM, wavetable etc.)

  • Synthesizer modules – (VCO, VCF, VCA, CV processors, LFO, Wave Shapers)

  • Common synthesizer layouts

  • Incorporating synth elements into audio production

  • Hardware vs. software - finding the right synth for you

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

  • We cover all the Ableton Live Synths so Ableton Live would be helpful but not mandatory.

  • We cover Native Instruments FM8 and Massive. Again not mandatory but helpful.
