More Than Just a Synth Tutorial

When was the last time you had a software or hardware synth in front of you and just started randomly twisting knobs hoping to get the right sound?

Do you understand what “ring modulation” really is and how it works? Do you know how saw, pulse, triangle and sine waveforms are created and how they sound? What oscillators do? What AD Modulation Envelopes do? Portamento?

Well once you’re finished with Syntorial, you’ll know when, why and how to use over 60 common synth parameters to get the sound you want!

Interactive Learning

electronic_musicians_editors_choice_201_award_logo musictech_award_logos A multiple award-winning program, Syntorial doesn’t just show you how synth programming works.

It engages you in 129 Interactive Challenges in which you program patches on a built-in synth.

You aren’t just learning how to design sound, you are becoming a sound designer.

For Musicians Not Physicists

Instead of talking about the science and physics behind synthesizers, Syntorial will show you how each control effects sound, as well as when, why and how you would use them when designing sounds.

This is information that you can immediately apply to real-life situations.

Its All About the Ear

One step at a time, Syntorial trains your ear to recognize how each control shapes and manipulates sound.

Throughout the lessons, you’re given “hidden” patches to try to replicate.

By the end of the program you’ll be able to take the sounds you hear and re-create them, completely by ear.

Synth Plugin Included

Syntorial’s built-in synth, known as Primer, also comes as a VST/AU plugin, included with your purchase of Syntorial.

This way you can take the very synth that you’re training on, and use it in any recording software that accepts VST and AU plugins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a demo?

Yes there is a demo version of Syntorial which you can try to to see if its for you (we’re 100% sure it is!). You get the first 22 (out of 199) essential lessons with 4-5 videos from each additional lesson pack.

There’s no time limit on the demo version, but this deal does have a time limit so make sure and grab it at 40% quick before the deal is over!

Why should I pay for Syntorial when there are synthesis tutorials that are free or cost less?

True, there are many sources of information (some accurate, some not) out there on sound design that will cost you less than Syntorial. But they’re all missing the one thing that makes Syntorial so effective: two-way interaction. Books, articles and videos can only GIVE you information, and then it’s up to you to turn that new information into an actual usable skill. That’s like reading a medical textbook and then trying to do brain surgery. Best of luck to that patient!

Syntorial not only gives you the information, but it walks you through a step-by-step method in which you use your ear to program patch after patch after patch, and provides you with feedback at every turn to make sure you’re doing it right. You not only learn WHAT to do, you actually DO it, and BECOME a sound designer in the process.

Well how can I trust that the makers of Syntorial know what they’re talking about?

You don’t need to trust them, you can find out for yourself BEFORE you buy. Download the Syntorial Demo and try several lessons for free. You’ll be able to get a feel for how the program works and truly understand the value of Syntorial’s methods. If that’s not enough, go to Syntorial’s YouTube channel to watch a few video tutorials in which they re-create some popular synth patches from scratch, and you’ll see just how knowledgable and skilled they truly are, both at designing sounds and instructing others on how to do it themselves. They know what they’re doing, and they know how to teach it!

What are the system requirements?

  • Mac with OS 10.6 or later
  • PC with Windows 10, 8, 7 or Vista.
  • iPad with iOS 8 or later

1 GB free disk space. For Mac/PC, Midi keyboard recommended, but not required. Feel free to download and install the demo or free app to make sure Syntorial works on your system.

Do I need an actual synth to use this program?

No, Syntorial comes with a custom, quality, built-in soft synth, used throughout the entire program.

Can I use my own synth?

No. In order to provide you with feedback on your patch programming, Syntorial needs to interact with the synth in a very specific and special way, that only Syntorial’s synth is equipped to handle.

Will I be able to use my new found skills on synths other than Syntorial’s?

Yes! Syntorial’s synth is designed to encompass the most common synth parameters found on the vast majoriy of synths, and includes several videos that will help you apply your newfound skills to your own synth. Syntorial’s synth features:

  • Subtractive synthesis
  • Three Oscillators (Two with Waveform, Pitch, Pulse Width, and Mix controls, and a Sub oscillator with Waveform and Volume controls)
  • Saw, Pulse, Triangle and Sine waveforms
  • FM knob
  • Noise Oscillator
  • Oscillator Sync
  • Filter (Low, Band and High Pass) with Resonance and Key Tracking
  • ADSR Filter Envelope
  • ADSR Amp Envelope
  • AD Modulation Envelope
  • LFO with four waveforms, seven destinations, rate, amount, trigger, and mono/poly modes
  • Mono and Poly Voice Modes
  • Portamento
  • Unison with Voice, Detune and Spread controls
  • Ring Modulation
  • Distortion, Chorus, Phaser, Delay, and Reverb effects
  • Mod Wheel, Pitch Wheel and Velocity controls

If you’re still not sure whether your synth is applicable, feel free to contact us and let us know your synth’s make and model.
