Tutor: Ben Wheeler Duration: 3 month Hours: 4 hours per week Price: 1140 GEL Language: English

Synthesis 101 is a three-month theoretical/practical course

about Synthesis and Synthesizers based on traditional and modular synthesizers (specifically the Doepfer System-100). The majority of the course is dedicated to the study of the principles of subtractive synthesis and modular synthesis

During the course students will learn the basic building blocks of synthesis, their application, the basic technical and psycho-acoustic principles of sound design, sound creation, and receive an overview of the process of working with electronic instruments and modular synthesizers.

During the course we will also discuss the history of synthesis and historically important synthesizers, get acquainted with modern synthesizers, discuss different synthesis methods (adiabatic, FM synthesis, granular synthesis, cross modulation synthesis, etc.), and learn about emerging global trends in modular communities, including DIY rigs, circuit bending, and hack spaces.  

We will also look at some of the tools that are currently available for those who wish to work with synthesis: Doepfer System-100 (Modular System), Veromona synthesizer, Moog Grandmother, Arturia Minibrute, Buchla Music Easal, PocketPiano, Korg Ms-20, Roland Tr-8, Moog MF-101 filter, Korg Microkorg, Microkorg XL, etc. 

The training consists of both physical synthesizers and the base of Ableton Analog and VCV Rack (modular software).

Students will have the opportunity to learn about the Dopfer A-100 BS2 modular synthesizer at CES studio.
