Our resident synthesist and electronic music performance artist, Richard Lainhart, is back with his extraordinary exploration into advanced sound synthesis. We asked Richard to put his amazing Buchla away for little while so he'd have time to create what we think is the "must have" video tome for anyone looking delve deeper into how synthesizers convert electricity into sound waves.

Richard carefully explains all the different kinds of additive synthesis from "ring modulation" to powerful "FM" and "cross modulation" techniques that can turn simple sine waves into powerful noise generators popular in the performance art and electronic music scene.

So if your looking to gain a deeper understanding of concepts that form the complex world of analog synthesis lend an eye and ear or two to this fantastic new tutorial by Richard Lainhart: Advanced Sound Synthesis.

Clearly presents some basic approaches to synthesis that can be applied to analog and digital synths.

This course was to technical for me, but overall it is a solid course with a detail look at synthesis. The quiz questions are easy, although the course content is quite difficult.

Excellent follow up to 'Analog Synthesis in a Digital World'. Even as a professional sound designer, this course opened my mind to utilising more esoteric synthesis techniques in a more creative and musical context. Shame there was no further editions to this series, Richard Lainhart was a very intelligent man and a great tutor; who definitely had a lot more to offer on the subject of synthesis.

This course helped me to better understand advance concepts of synthesis that I could apply to Reason. Thanks!

really good tutorial for people who like sound design. He goes over the fundamentals (advanced fundys) of synthesis. Best part is he teaches you so you can do this on pretty much any type of synth, virtual or analog.

What a great set of courses. The second course is a great extension of the first from a man who knows his craft. Richard Lainhart is the best. I only wish there were more in this series.

Outstanding course, I would recommend these for anyone wanting to learn to create their own sounds and take a step away from presets.
