Introduction to Sound Synthesis

Some quite fun and interesting old videos from the 80’s, explaining the basics of sound synthesis using analog and digital synths from that era:

• Introduction to Synthesis (Retro 80′s View) » Synthtopia (part 1)
• Introduction to Synthesis (Retro 80′s View) » Synthtopia (part 2)
• Introduction to Synthesis (Retro 80′s View) » Synthtopia (part 3)

And a shorter video explaining how to quickly and easily create sounds in a (analog) synth.

Another nice post by Craig Anderton on various Ways to Exploit Synth and Sampler Oscillators.

A nice collection of videos and films about electronic music can be found here.

I’ll try to keep updating this post with any new (video, audio and text) references I find over the net… let me know of any you find yourselves.
