Learning Process for Synths

[ksandvik]

I would say study existing presets, change the settings and learn. There's some good learning synthesis theory but it only goes some way. I.e. good to know what an oscillator does, how LFOs operate, the ADSR envelopes, but after that it's all about ears and trying things out. Even random changes could sound good!

As for special programming -- let's say for example how to make a wobbly Dubstep bass- youtube is your friend.

you tube is shit. you are far better off reading the manual than wasting your time watching videos by people that also aint read the manual. I dont know why people never even think to do this, everything makes so much more sense after that.
