So I've been practicing synthesis for awhile now. I understand it a bit more compared to when I first started. I can sit at my NL2x and mess around making some interesting patches. But most of those patches are just "mistakes" and I'd probably never be able to replicate it again.
So im curious does anybody know of any websites/books/forums that explain synthesis clearly? To be more specific, I would like some kind of tutorial on how to synthesize pads, basslines, leads, ect. Ya follow me?
If anybody can help me out here Id appreciate it. Thanks. |

hm. i don't know any good book. but i still want to give an advice (i think it's useful).
you'd like to synthesize pads, basslines, leads, ect., and you got plenty of them in the preset banks of your synths. it's a good idea to go through these patches, and dissect them to the different 'components' that make up the sound. then try to find commonalities between patches making up pads, basslines etc.
- which kind of sound sources (oscillators) are used?
- how many of them are used?
- are they detuned? how?
- are they modulated? how?
- what kind of filter(s) is(are) used?
- how is the filter modulated?
- how is the signal flow? (routing)
- any other specialities?
i hope you got an idea what i mean and i hope this will help you,
best wishes
