Help with creating custom sounds...'n such.

I've been trying to do this recently with Sytrus...but I'm failing pretty hardcore. Can anyone offer any advice or a "Custom Synth Creation for Dummies" reference? It'd be very much appreciated. <3

I can recommend that you definitely do not start with Sytrus, try Synth1 (http://www.kvraudio.com/get/214.html) instead to start, then work your way up.

Interesting. Thanks Zephyr! :D

Or 3xOsc like I do =P

here's a collection of tutorials I've made over the years, plus also my FLMC9 entry. Some of them are really outdated and don't reflect my current practices at all. But maybe they'll help. Also most or all should have a fruity notebook somewhere that explains things.

There's also zircon's quick tutorial on synthesis, which uses Synth1.

And whenever you end up with a cool sound, save it. Might not fit the project you're working on then, but it might fit some other project. Save your patches/presets/whatever they're called.

lol Way ahead of you on that one Rozovian. Not unless I can remember everything I did for a specific sound...let alone several different sounds.

But yeah, saving will be a top priority.
