Looking for synth tutorials

May 6, 2013 6:10 PM

I'd like to learn how to make better use of my synthesizer (a MicroKORG from a couple years back) and software synthesizers, specifically when it comes to getting away from the presets. I enjoy learning by example - I'd like to have a tutorial where a familiar song's synthesizer sounds are replicated from scratch. Do any tutorials like this exist?

If there is a recent semi-popular EDM tune that has a synth sound you like, there will be a ton of tutorials on YouTube that will show how to make that sound with Sylenth or Massive (very popular VST soft synths).

An example: Porter Robinson's Unison recreated on Massive (or at least the lead/plucks)

Basically, think of some EDM artists, go to YouTube, type in their name and then 'tutorial.'
