Synth Tutorial Options

[Psychoprick]

Hi Lately I've started experimenting with software synth's.

I especially find the Buzzer 2 component very good.
However I'm never quit sure what I'm doing (producing some great sounds but...)
So any links to a great tutorial or explanation on how synth's work and what all the buttons really do would be much appreciated.

Thanx

I strongly advise you read the wonderful suite of articles from Sound on Sound, here is the synth section of articles, look for the synth secrets…

The Sound On Sound articles were really helpfull

I've had a bit of physics and math training so that wasn't to hard.

However for I bit more training I'm looking for a free/demo synth plyg-in with a good tutorial or extended help section.

Can anyone help me?

Lot of freeware plug-in synths to test here

lepetitmartien... if I had only read one more... I must be getting good, I had the same answer as 'Big Daddy Lepetit'... Mind you I know nothing about computers... Only magazines that sell them.
