*and remember, the art of layering, detuning, and modulation can be applied to sampling as well... Getting my learn on this morning.

Yeah, this article has nearly doubled my (Admittedly Meager) Synth knowledge in the past 2 days... Just being able to see, basically, the route taken to shape certain sounds... Excellent.

I still feel like making a good synth is more about messing around and having a good ear thought, even thought it's nice to deconstruct ones that already sound good

nice - thanks for the link, I'll try to recreate some of those on my R3

of course it's better to come up with your own sounds than just copy, but I find it helps me learn if I see how someone else did something. if I know what params give me a Roots Manuva bass, and what params give me an 80s power ballad lead, and what params give me a 90s rave sound, then I'm more likely to be able to make a sound I want on purpose, rather than just trial and error, or lucky accident
