This tutorial picks up where "Analog Synthesis in a Digital World" left off. After having a clue about how a sound is created, Richard dives into more stuff you can do with the created signal. Ring modulation, frequency shifting, and so on. So once you tasted the synthesized world, you can go on and eat up additional knowledge. These tutorials are made to be consumed together. Great job Richard!

After watching these tutorials my understanding of the Moog Modular V2 soared! Mr. Lainhart was smooth and precise in his delivery. The only thing I wasn't prepared for is his use of the synth in Logic, I wish he would have stuck to using the Moog. MORE PLEASE!!!

Excellent! I can only echo what other reviewers have said. This is a must see, must hear tutorial . . . a staple in any synthesists tool kit. Richard's clear, patience and well-paced delivery brings the vocabulary and advanced techniques of analog synthesis to life. The next time I teach a course in electronic music this will be required viewing!

I enjoyed this tutorial (and its companion) quite a bit. It's chock full of useful information, presented in a clear and mostly concise manner. On occasion, I did find myself wishing it would move along a little faster. This tutorial is well named. While its companion video covers ground with which most folks with experience in synthesis will be fairly familiar, this covers ground that is a lot less likely to be old hat. The one thing both videos lack is a demonstration of how to put the various concepts together into full patches. Granted, much of the fun of synthesis is in experimentation, but it would still be useful to see, via demonstration, what others have already learned so that we can build on knowledge already gleaned by others. A tutorial that recreates patches of different types - basses, leads, pads, etc - from famous tracks would be interesting to me. Perhaps there are resources out on the net that already cover that ground - I've never looked - but it'd still be an interesting tutorial in the series. Heck, I can probably think of a dozen patches just from Pink Floyd's discography alone that would be interesting enough to deconstruct. I'd definitely recommend this video to anyone looking to push their experimentation in analog synthesis into more advanced territory without relying purely on trial and error for learning how different modules function and interact.

A must for synthesists, it demystifies a lot of terms and techniques that I have read about before but never quite got 100%. Thanks Richard, looking forward to Advanced Synthesis 2, 3, 4.... (I hope)

Another essential tutorial. I have learnt so much from Richard - each lesson teaches a new sound or a new synthesis technique that open new doors for me in my tracks. It just shows how powerful the ES2 is, and its still just the tip of the iceberg! I can't wait for Advanced Synthesis II (please make an Advanced Synthesis II...)

Excellent, recommended even if you think you've heard it all before. I hope that Richard & MPV continue this series.

Essential. Tutorials like this make me happy to be a subscriber. The way Richard communicates is considered and at a great pace.Wonderful at carving away the grey areas that people may have about sound-shaping..Excellent.

Another excellent tutorial by Richard, at first I was optimistic about buying this tutorial as I felt I was already quite comfortable with these synthesis techniques. However, after viewing the way Richard employs these techniques and the theory behind them, I have found many new techniques to excel my programming to the next level.
