Need Help Controlling the Synth
Yo,

I have been rocking out with NI Massive and FM8 but besides the twisting of knobs and some random movements on factory-made synths, I cannot get anywhere. Does anyone know some good places to read about how to help gain better control and become "god of the synth" ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I pay in expired food stamps. Thanks,

Adam

Tweakheads is a great website for finding general information about many things audio related. Here's a link to synth programming. Controller info is here as well.

Virtual Analog, FM, Wavetable

Massive and FM8 to me are not good VST synths to learn in depth editing. The ADSR on massive while it looks cool is hard to use and FM8 just plain dosnt have allot of parameters. Somthing like a PRO53 or Minimoog would be allot simpler as far as the layout and could teach you fundimentals easier.
