For a long time I only wanted to be a drummer, but as I got older and learned other things my interests expanded. I started playing drums at 13 years old and knew within 6 months of taking lessons that I wanted to be a musician for the rest of my life. I’m 28 and I live in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Try the award-winning Syntorial today.I’m Nicholas Sibley. With over 200 lessons, once you complete the program, you’ll be able to create the sounds you hear using almost any synthesizer. Each lesson starts with a demonstration, then an interactive challenge. Making programming synths easy, with videogame-like training, teaching you how to program synth patches by ear. I wanna do more of these, just so you can see what the process is like and you can really get a feel for it, and this randomizer feature will be released soon. All right! So that patch was, you know, kind of intermediate. ![]() Especially if you’ve ever had one of those patches you submitted and it was so close, it was just a tiny difference.īut I think that’s it. When I listen to it enough times, sometimes I almost trick myself into thinking there’s still something different. And I know for me something funny happens. So, I’m gonna play a little bit, just to make sure I’m not missing anything.Ī little slower portamento? No. So I’m gonna do a higher pitch to see if there’s a difference. And right now I’ve been hitting middle C, and middle C is not affected by key tracking. But normally, you’d just hit a hard key, hit a soft key, that’s how you could hear the difference.Īll right, now we’ve got to check key tracking. When velocity is enabled, you can see the keys change color, like a light touch, we’ll get a very light blue color. Oh, and I’m noticing right now that I hold the key, it’s fading. Could be a little rounder? No, definitely there. Question is, does it happen every time I play a note, or only when I connect them? It’s every time, so, it’s mono, and we’ve got some portamento let’s see. ![]() All right, one note at a time, but I hear some bending between the notes. Now I gotta check a few performance-related things, like let’s see how many voices I can play.Īll right, just one. I had to slow it down a little bit, and I only wanted to mix in a little bit, but… And then I think here’s a little bit of high end taken off. I think- I wanna say it’s chorus let’s see. Now, there’s some width in there, and we could get this a few different ways. So let’s give it a shot.Īll right, so I like to start with the most obvious things first, and right off the bat, I hear a long tail. This is great, because you’ll be able to just endlessly practice you can have as many new patches as you want. However, with the Randomizer Challenge, rather than one of us programming it, the app itself is gonna create a new patch, right then and there, for you to recreate. In a group challenge, the patch that you are recreating is one we’ve created. So, Randomizer Challenge is very similar to a group challenge, and in a group challenge, as you may know, you recreate a hidden patch using all the controls you’ve unlocked so far. And I’m gonna do it using a new feature we’ve been working on, called a Randomizer Challenge. ![]() ![]() To give you an idea of the true process of recreating a patch by ear. And I do mean AS MUCH TIME AS YOU LIKE… Just remember to eat every once in a while, mkay? In this particular video, I’m highlighting our upcoming feature called the Randomizer Challenge – a magical place where patches are randomly generated and you get to spend as much time as you like recreating them. This series is meant to show you the actual process I use to recreate patches by ear. While ear training gives you the ability to create the sounds you hear, it will still be an imperfect process.
