Sound Synthesis

[Gorman, Declan]

I remember Plogue Bidule being mentioned on the music-bar in the past
and it looks interesting so I might give it a go.

I actually found your article on experimedia.net yesterday and from
there followed some good links to some informative web pages and
documents.

Thank you.

Declan.

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....

thesizer/
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...
