Included Lessons

1. Course Introduction
Discover the wealth of resources in "Think Like a Synth" and learn how to use them to rapidly enhance your ability to edit presets and create your own legendary sounds for your music.

2. Oscillators
Dive into the fundamentals of oscillators, the heart of sound creation. Learn how they generate waveforms, their role in shaping sound, and how to create a wide range of tones.

3. Tuning
Uncover tuning techniques to develop speed and accuracy along with quick tips for creating a richer sound.

4. Waveforms
Master the fundamental raw waveforms and their combinations to create the sounds you envision.

5. Pulse Width Modulation
Explore the power of pulse width modulation to create rich textures with evolving harmonics for more expression.

6. The Noise Generator
Use the noise generator to add subtle texture, intense grit and randomization that will add more realism inside your sounds.

7. Low Pass Filters
Feel the deep impact of the low-pass filter, as you sculpt your sound for a warmer, fatter and more focused tone.

8. Filter Modulation
Use filter modulation to add movement and dynamic variation, transforming static tones into evolving expressive textures.

9. VCAs
Unlock the full potential of the Voltage-Controlled Amplifier (VCA) to shape your sound's dynamics, while also using it for signal coloration, routing, and creating effects like amplitude modulation (tremolo).

10. Tremolo - NEW!
Unravel the secret of undulating sound waves, "tremolo" (aka amplitude modulation) to create rich, pulsating textures that transform your synth creations into living, expressive soundscapes with dynamic energy.

11. Gates & Triggers
Study how gates and triggers control your synth's timing and rhythm, enabling you to fire envelopes, sequences, and modulation sources for more dynamic performances.

12. The Envelope Generator
Learn to effectively adjust the attack, decay, sustain, and release parameters of your patch over time to bring dynamic expression to your sound.

13. Single & Multiple Triggers
Understand the difference between single and multiple triggers, and learn how to use them to control the phrasing, repetition, and complexity of your envelopes.

14. Inverted Envelopes - NEW!
Inverted envelopes is where negative modulation of attack, decay, sustain, and release unlocks an entirely new realm of reverse sonic shapes. This exploration transforms traditional synthesizer sounds into their mirror image by making one simple change.

15. LFOs
Explore the power of low frequency oscillators (LFOs) to change the shape of pitch, timbre and volume over time, creating dynamic movement and evolving rhythms.

16. Clocks
Explore the concept of clocks, learning how to sync your modules to create precise rhythmic patterns, LFOs, and other time-based elements.

17. Sample & Hold
Discover how the sample & hold generator captures and holds voltages to create evolving, unpredictable patterns that add complexity and movement.

18. Vibrato
Harness the expressive power of vibrato to infuse your sounds with depth, movement, and emotional nuance.

19. Distorted LFO - NEW!
See how distorted LFOs reshape your synth’s modulation palette, transforming pitch, timbre, and volume into unconventional textures, shapes and rhythms. This lesson is your gateway to a world of sonic alchemy.

20. The Ring Modulator
Create rich, harmonic textures and otherworldly sounds with the ring modulator by combining two signals in unique ways that bring complexity and intrigue to your sound palette.

21. DC-Coupled Ring Modulator
Visit the world of DC-coupled ring modulators, combining original signals with sum and difference tones, including the ability to use it as a dynamic VCA.

22. Voltage
Understand the role of voltage and how it controls various parameters, from pitch to modulation, enabling you to create dynamic and evolving sounds.

23. Voltage Control & Keyboard Control Voltage
Explore how voltage control and keyboard control voltage work to manipulate sound parameters, allowing you to create expressive, real-time control over pitch, modulation, and more.

24. The Multiple
Optimize your signal routing and create complex, layered sounds by using a multiple to send one signal to multiple destinations.

25. The Lag Processor
Learn how the lag processor adds smooth, more expressive gradual changes to your sound, creating natural movement and preventing abrupt shifts in modulation.

26. The Envelope Follower
Add dynamic movement and expression to your sounds by converting audio signals into modulation with an envelope follower.

27. The Mixer & Output Section
Use mixers and outputs for blending multiple signals to create new colors. Route them effectively to external devices or create a beautiful stereo field.
