Harness the power of FM synthesis and take your sound design to a whole new dimension. Get the edge that’ll truly make your tracks stand out. Learn to make the world’s most advanced synths do your bidding. We chose Dan Larsson to host this masterclass because he specializes in FM synthesis, specifically. He’s a stone-cold FM guru, on the cutting-edge of current genres and emerging production styles.

FM Synthesis Explored

FANTASTiC | 02 May 2020 | 395 MB

Do you think FM synthesis is too complex and confusing to use? You won’t anymore after watching this course by artist and trainer. Add FM synthesis to your sound designer’s toolkit now! FM (Frequency Modulation) synthesis always had a reputation of being challenging to program, but once you learn it, it’s a very rewarding synthesis method for sound designers and musicians. The most popular hardware FM synth is the vintage Yamaha DX7, but nowadays FM is available in a variety of software instruments. Thankfully it’s much easier to program on a big computer screen than on a tiny DX7 16 x 2 LCD display! With its soft synth shootout approach, this course explores the creative possibilities offered by FM synthesis. FM synthesis is very different from more traditional synthesis methods, so that’s why Rishabh starts the course by diving into some important FM synthesis theory. Operators, carriers and modulators are clearly demonstrated using Reaktor Blocks.

Modular Synthesis with Reaktor

Let’s be real:  Reaktor can be intimidating at first glance. But behind the complexity is an incredibly powerful modular synthesis environment that can create anything from synthesizers, grooveboxes, and sequencers to sample transformers, sound generators, and effects. In Reaktor Modular Synthesis with David Earl, you’ll learn how to tweak Reaktor’s 70+ included instruments and make your own from scratch. David is Native Instrument’s product specialist and he knows the software inside and out.

In Sound Design 101, we’ll uncover each of the main elements of what it takes to be a cutting-edge electronic sound designer. After an explanation of analog synthesis, we’ll feature demonstrations of techniques and tools for FM, granular, wavetable, physical modeling, multi-sampling, and signal processing. Students can expect personalized technique demonstrations from Ableton Live, Max for Live, U-He Instruments, Applied Acoustics Systems, Glitchmachines, Native Instruments Systems, and Eurorack Modular Synthesizer components.

Progressive House Pluck Synthesis

FANTASTiC | 12 June 2019 | 244 MB

In this class, I will go over the basics of making a ‘progressive house pluck’ used by EDM artists, such as Deadmau5. You will learn how to create the sound, write the midi notes, and use automation to create a rise effect. All that is needed is a Digital Audio Work Station (DAW) and a synthesizer. For this class, I used Ableton Live 9 as my DAW as my synthesizer. However, almost any DAW and synthesizer will work. The class project will be a short track you made using your own unique modification of the sound and writing your own midi notes and automation.

Learn Sound Synthesis in Max for Ableton Live 10

FANTASTiC | 19 March 2019 | 1.22 GB

In this Max class, I will be teaching you Sound Synthesis inside Max for Live in Ableton Live 10. This class can also be used for anyone that has Max as a stand alone device. Some of the topics covered are quite advantaged, so maybe don’t take this class if you are brand new to Max. Project Description: – Make your own Max patch and then write a short description of how you made it. You can also include a screenshot if it’s needed and then post this as a class project.
