Timeline Schedule
1.
Design your kick from scratch: layering, envelopes, transient shaping, sub control, EQing, and sample mastering.
2.
Build a clean, colored bassline: pitch FX, saw/sub layers, envelope/filter techniques, phase control, and solid bass design.
3.
Create your own drums using synths or samplers, and apply unique processing for texture and punch.
4.
Learn to generate original wavetables: synthesis formulas, creative modulations, and techniques for designing unique timbres.
5.
Dive into advanced wavetable modulations, macros, routing, and complex Sample & Hold techniques.
6.
Create iconic acid sounds like the TB-303 and explore distortion types: overdrive, diode, tube, saturation (serial/parallel), and more.
7.
Build pads and atmospheric textures using samplers and synths, combining OSC types, X/Y pads, and multi-layered modulation.
8.
Design signature FX like zaps, squelches, sweeps, risers, and noise transitions essential to psychedelic soundscapes.
9.
Learn how to apply granular and spectral synthesis techniques to psychedelic sounds, including sampler-based workflows.
10.
Explore methods to create and manipulate synthetic voices using advanced processing tools and vocal effects.
11.
Dive into vintage synth emulations—from Moog modular to modern gear—understanding why their iconic sound remains relevant today.
12.
Wrap up with a final exam, hands-on practice, class Q&A, and homework to solidify your synthesis and sound design knowledge.
