Downloadable Guide To Synthesis

For most of 2020, I wrote my fourth book on electronic production. This time, the topic was a complete guide to learning the essentials of analog synthesis, using the free (and insanely popular) synth for iOS/Mac: AudioKit Synth One.

The book is also free on Apple Books—and Synth One now contains a set of presets that were created to demonstrate the techniques in the book. Again, both are free, so if you’re on an iPhone/iPad, you can use these to get started on designing your own presets. And I’m now using this book as part of my curriculum as a professor at Austin Community College.

For those on Windows/Android, the book is also available as a PDF (without the Apple interactivity) and the lessons apply synths of all kinds. Links for everything below.
