This course is dedicated to the complex world of advanced synthesis, helping to
understand the principles and providing a comprehensive understanding of the process. Delve deeply into the complex world of Advanced Synthesis and learn how to create your own evocative and evolving soundscapes, from scratch!
Our resident synthesist and electronic music performance artist, Richard Lainhart, is back with his extraordinary exploration into advanced sound synthesis. We asked Richard to put his amazing Buchla away for a while so he’d have time to create what we think is the “must-have” video tome for anyone looking to delve deeper into how synthesizers convert electricity into sound waves.
Richard carefully explains all the different kinds of additive synthesis from “ring modulation” to powerful “FM” and “cross modulation” techniques that can turn simple sine waves into powerful noise generators popular in the performance art and electronic music scene.
So if you are looking to gain a deeper understanding of concepts that form the complex world of analog synthesis lend an eye and ear or two to this fantastic new tutorial by Richard Lainhart: Advanced Sound Synthesis.
