Synth jargon
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone knows of:
a) a good resource for lists of synthesiser acronyms? (DCO, VCF, LFO etc etc etc)
b) a "synths for dummies" type tutorial
I've spent too long twiddling knobs until something sounds cool without really knowing what I'm doing so have resolved to learn!
Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
Thom

I found this a nice source of synth tutorials. It starts on the bottom of the page very basic with part 1 "What is a sound"...
Have fun

https://www.youtube.com/user/marclou25 my keys to music, a lot of videos about nord keyboards. There is one explaining the synth engine of the stage3 as well.
