Syntorial 2.0

A New Approach to Synthesis Learning

Syntorial is like a video game for synth programming, designed to teach you how to create synth patches by ear. With nearly 200 lessons featuring video demonstrations and interactive challenges, you'll gain hands-on experience programming patches on a built-in soft synth, mastering the skills needed to craft your own sounds effortlessly.

• Interactive Learning - Syntorial doesn't just explain how synth programming works; it immerses you in 127 Interactive Challenges where you program patches on a built-in synth. You're not merely learning sound design; you're evolving into a sound designer.

• For Musicians, not Physicists - Rather than delving into the science and physics behind synthesizers, Syntorial illustrates how each control affects sound and teaches you when, why, and how to use them in sound design. This knowledge is immediately applicable in real-world situations.

• It´s all About the Ear - Step by step, Syntorial trains your ear to recognize how each control shapes and manipulates sound. By the program's end, you'll be able to recreate sounds entirely by ear.

• Synth Plugin Inlcuded - Syntorial's built-in synth, Primer, also functions as a VST/AU plugin included with your Syntorial purchase. This allows you to use the synth you're training on in any recording software that supports VST and AU plugins.

• Expandable - In addition to the 197 core essential lessons, Syntorial offers additional Lesson Packs that broaden your learning experience across popular synths like Serum, Massive, Sylenth1, and more. Explore the current lineup for more details.
