hey Gary
thanks again for your reply...
i've got the sculpture and the es2 by steve h tut also awesome with regards to sound design...as cool as these tuts are and their ability to help me understand what everything does, i'm looking for something more along the lines of fundamentals for bass sounds or pad sounds...
haha i do have MASSIVE and reason and ableton and Absynth, to be honest i'm a soft synth junkie and i jam on them all the time...tinkering and messing around...
...I've been going through presets to look for similarities regarding basses, pads, leads ect keeping in mind the characteristics between the envelopes and the occillating waveforms...as creative (and different) as they all are i'm looking for something like - guys today we gonna design some kick drums/lead sounds/pads from the ground up, this is were we start and from there enjoy tinkering...
I can find and choose presets and make slight changes and do some layering and filtering ect... however my knowledge on these synths is based around the fact that i've already loaded a preset and from the tuts i know my way around the synths, i'd definitely like to be able to open the es2 with no settings and have a bass sound in mind or a lead sound and be able to put some things together from scratch...
i just went through the fundamentals201 outline, thanks thats next in my list!!!
