Synthesizer Manuals & Documentations
Reply with quote

I have tried searching the internet for manuals and documentations which could help in learning synthesizers and other VST related softwares like Superwave P8 but to no avail. Can somebody post related resources here, which can help in understanding the softwares.

Thank You!

Hi,

About synths in general:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthesizer

About using VST and VSTi with madtracker:
http://www.madtracker.org/documents/vst.xml

Each VST (such as Superwave) comes with their own documentation if the author of the VST has provided it.

That is right. But, lets say I am a complete fresher to synthesizers and I want to learn how to use them, what is the function of each control etc., in such a case what should I refer?

As for Superwave, I couldn't find any official documentations for it.

Thanks! Smile

When i started to work with Madtracker and with VST i really thought: WTF? Will i ever understand anything? But it is really funny to learn this things by doing. Just spin the knobs and see what happen and you will learn very quickly... thrust me... Smile

I have been trying this for sometime now but, I am better accustomed to more structured approach. I am bad at random learning.

So I thought someone might have some resources he is willing to share.

never seen a global synthesizer manual online. there exist some books, but they care about the basic synthesis, not about how to use them in general.

if you download for example the rob papen predator demo there´s a pdf manual about exactly this synth. theres relativ good explained what option what does.

but as already said, best is (and thats my normal first preset on every synth Wink ) to turn every knob to zero, choose a waveform on one oszilloscope and then start moving everything step by step to see what happens Wink

I guess you guys are right! I put in a whole lot of time trying to find the same with little returns. So I will have to get on with "Try & Test" Cool
