hehe, I've just bought the this book, yet to start reading it...

the theory of how synths work, and different types I'm fine with, I have allot of experience with filter's, oscillators etc being from a radio background...

it's the sound design part where I seem to always end up with similar sounds all the time :cry: I know what I'm aiming for, it's just getting there lol.

Thanks for the the info.
i'd recommend you start with loads of free presets for a certain synth, you can get loads of patches for free at patcharena.com for example.

then see how certain stuff you like is done and go from there and try settings you liked on other synths. makes notes, perhaps...



certain sounds rely on the fx that are put on them, either in the synth itself or later on, that can make a great difference, too...

i see you prefer hardware but you can allways look at some softsynth presets and rebuild them on your hardware, esp. for novation stuff hardware synths like the bass station and so on have been redone as vstis so settings (presets) should be transferable to the hardware pretty easily, i guess...

which i had all that gear :!:
