What you’ll learn
- Gain a deep understanding of the fundamental building blocks of synthesiser design.
- Apply your new knowledge by creating unique sounding instruments such as leads, keys, pads, basses, plucks, drums and cymbals.
- Use oscillators, envelopes, filters, LFOs and effects to create the ideal sounds for your compositions.
- Be able to choose the right wave shapes, filters, modulators and effects by understanding exactly how every part of the synthesiser will affect your sound.
- Take the knowledge gained in this course and quickly be able to get the sound you want from ANY synthesiser.
In this course, we look in quite some detail at all the common elements of sound design using synthesisers. Whether you are brand new to synthesis, or an experienced sound designer, beatmaker or producer, this course will help you to really understand how to construct exactly the sound you are looking for for your mix.
With more than six hours of video split across over fifty lectures, you will find detailed descriptions and demonstrations of:
Synthesiser architecture and how the different elements work together.
Why the various wave shapes generated by oscillators create a different sound, and how to use them in combination.
How to use ADSR envelopes to modulate the volume of your sound over time.
The different types of filters commonly used and how to apply them to create the perfect tone.
How to add movement and depth to your sounds.
How to add effects such as chorus, distortion, delay and reverb to make your sounds more interesting.
Once you have finished these comprehensive sections and gained a deep understanding of exactly how every individual element of a synthesizer affects the sounds we are creating, we will use this knowledge to build several new sounds from scratch, including:
Sub-bass
Plucked bass
Atmospheric and ethereal pads
Leads
Percussion, including hi-hats, kick drums, and snares
Piano-like keys
We’ll be using the free Vital synth throughout the course so you can follow along, but towards the end we’ll spend some time looking at other synthesisers and see how to apply what you’ve learned to quickly get to grips with ANY synth and know exactly how to use it to get the sounds you need for your compositions.
