Sound Synthesis Courses

The synthesizer has the most diverse sound palette of all musical instruments. It reveals to the musician, who up until recently composed with notes and rhythms, another dimension of expression and musical control - the dimension on timbre.

The timbre dictates the quality and tonal character of the sound and through it we can distinguish between musical instruments, musical expression and even the performer's quality of playing. The timbre carries alot of information about the way the listener is supposed to react to the music and so, controlling it makes it possible to create new instruments and expressions that have never been heard before.

Indeed, all modern electronic instruments come with a set of ready to play presets, and most users are comfortable with this option, but to those who dive into the realm of synthesis an exciting new world of musical possibilities awaits. A world which connects between music and sound, between a note and a frequency, between a sound and its meaning.

If you are a music producer, sound engineer, keyboard player, or make music using your computer, and if you are still relying on presets for your sounds, or you sometimes feel baffled by what all the knobs and faders do, these courses are for you!

We at Synth School, are constantly preparing new synthesis courses for users at all levels, from beginners to advanced. We use various software, however we tend not to focus on the software itself but rather on giving you the tools to understand ANY synthesizer you encounter.
