While it’s great to understand that stuff, hearing the difference is more important/practical, and that’s what Syntorial teaches.īeyond the challenges, Syntorial provides tasks that you can carry out on your own hardware or software synths. Synths can get pretty complex pretty fast if you focus on the technical/scientific side. Syntorial covers a total of 64 synth parameters, so if anything is missing, it’s likely to be a specialized parameter rather than a standard one. They get more complex by adding more parameters as you go. There are over 700 patches for you to program. The challenges involve recreating hidden patches using the parameters that you’ve learned so far. Music is about opening doors, not shutting up shop, and that’s my complaining over!īack to Syntorial, it features 199 core lessons, 147 videos, and 129 challenges. If something makes learning easier, and you can put what you’ve learned to real use once you take that something away, it’s not cheating, and it’s worthwhile. I’ve never understood why some more traditional musicians/teachers choose to explain things in a way that only people who already know the subject very well can understand.
The reason I say that is that some still look at it like it’s dumbed-down or a cheat sheet. Syntorial is a good reminder that game-style learning isn’t just for kids. Getting a massive gold star or a virtual high-five for a correct answer is an excellent way to keep kids interested as they learn. Game-style tutorials are pretty common now (read our recent article about EQ Playground by SoundGym), especially with things like digital piano/keyboard apps and so on.
