Sound Synthesis

[experimedia]

If you really want to jump in and get an understanding for the
fundamentals of synthesis and whats really going on behind those knobs
I would just suggest jumping right in and patching one together in a
modular enviornment like Plogue Bidule. http://plogue.com

And following this step by step tutorial....

followed by the second part....

and then the third if your really hungry for more...

After finishing it you should have a good understanding of the
internal workings of a subtractive synthesizer which will give you the
ability to look at most any synthesizer's interface/gui and understand
what each section does and how it might effect your sound.

Also here is a short brief article on absolute basics of synthesis...
