Dance Music Production Vol.4 Synthesis Course

Synthesis is a DVD course dedicated to anyone who wants to learn how to program synthesizers, either Analogue Subtractive or Frequency Modulation. Using complex waveform analysis every individual element of a synthesizer is broken down giving the viewer a much deeper understanding not only of the parameters but also the frequencies that are generated and adjusted by the various controls that adorn a synthesizer.

The lessons then move onto examples, showing how the theory and analysis can be combined to produce numerous synthesizer patches from basses to pads to lead instruments. Finally the course discusses how all this can be used to produce timbres that you may be thinking of but find difficult to actually program and also reveals how to reverse engineer timbres.

If you've ever wanted to copy a synthesizer sound from another record, or just wanted to be able to program a synthesizer from an initialized patch, this DVD is unmissable.
