Introducing Jan’s Patchwork Corner, a Masterclass on Sound Design

Over at my soundware label Treeswift Audio, I’ve been recently working on a project that should be of interest to anyone who wants to delve deeper into creating sounds with synthesizers: Jan’s Patchwork Corner will be a series of workshop videos on synthesis and sound design. In each episode, I’ll take a deep dive into one of my synth patches – either from one of my commercial libraries or from a music production –, describe the thought process that went into every design decision, and explain how all the components work and come together to achieve the sound that I’m looking for. In a nutshell, I wanted to make the kind of tutorial that I would have wanted to be around back when I got into synthesis.
The first episode, in which I recreate a synth pad sound from my library Zebra Elementals: ISLA, is out now, and more are on the way. If you’re at all interested in synthesizers and how to get them to make sounds in a deliberate and purposeful way, keep an eye on the Watch page at Treeswift Audio or follow us on YouTube!
