Course description

Sonic Academy welcomes back P-LASK for a new set of tips that take an in-depth look at what's happening when we use our synths.

These set of tutorials are not only a must for those starting out into the world of synthesis but also super useful for those already accustomed to sound design.
P-LASK's straight forward take on this subject accompanied by visual scopes and analysers delve into the fundamentals of what is happening under the hood when we dial in a waveform, add more voices and use modulation to change the volume, pitch and tone of our sounds.
In short, the areas covered in these tech tips will give you the basics of what's going on when you turn the knobs on your synth giving you a better understanding of how to create the sounds you want.

If you've ever questioned 'why or how does this happen' when using your synth, then these tips will have the answer.

Check it out, share it with your synth-loving pals and take your skills to the next level!
