Syntorial is video game-like training software, that will teach you how to program synth patches by ear.
With almost 200 lessons, combining video demonstrations with interactive challenges, you’ll get hands on experience programming patches on a built-in soft synth, and learn everything you need to know to start making your own sounds with ease.
When was the last time you had a software or hardware synth in front of you and just started randomly twisting knobs hoping to get the right sound?
Do you understand what “ring modulation” really is and how it works? Do you know how saw, pulse, triangle and sine waveforms are created and how they sound? What oscillators do? What AD Modulation Envelopes do? Portamento?
Well once you’re finished with Syntorial, you’ll know when, why and how to use over 60 common synth parameters to get the sound you want!
A multiple award-winning program, Syntorial doesn’t just show you how synth programming works. It engages you in 129 Interactive Challenges in which you program patches on a built-in synth.
You aren’t just learning how to design sound, you are becoming a sound designer.
Instead of talking about the science and physics behind synthesizers, Syntorial will show you how each control effects sound, as well as when, why and how you would use them when designing sounds.
This is information that you can immediately apply to real-life situations.
One step at a time, Syntorial trains your ear to recognise how each control shapes and manipulates sound.
Throughout the lessons, you’re given “hidden” patches to try to replicate.
By the end of the program you’ll be able to take the sounds you hear and re-create them, completely by ear.
Syntorial’s built-in synth, known as Primer, also comes as a VST/AU plugin, included with your purchase of Syntorial.
This way you can take the very synth that you’re training on, and use it in any recording software that accepts VST and AU plugins.
Along with the 199 core essential lessons that come with Syntorial, additional Lesson Packs expand your learning experience into other parts of the synth world.
