Synth jargon

Postby ThomR1986 » 08 Apr 2016, 13:15

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

Wolfgang

I recommend this Book: - How to Make a Noise: Analog Synthesis Simon Cann - Buy the Kindle edition for nothing (3$) at Amazon.
