How To Use Synths - in 20 minutes! Synthesisers have come a long way since the hardware monsters of the 1980s, and they have made their way into every genre of music. If you don't understand how they work and you can't create patches and tweak presets, then you are really missing out. Let’s take a whistle-stop introduction to the foundations of synthesis.
Today we are launching a new course How To Use Synths just to help you overcome your synthophobia and embrace this whacky and wonderful new world!
In our course, we will show you exactly what all synths have in common and how to master any synth once you recognise the essential elements and controls. Using our very own ThinkSynth — which is both embedded in the course text so you can follow along, and available as a VST and AU instrument, you can learn to create amazing sounds and revitalise your music.
