I'm sure I speak for a lot of us when I say I would love more synth sound design tutorials from you. This was brilliant. <3

The elephant in the room is that Matt's tracksuit makes every patch sound better

Matt I was literally searching for a video exactly about this about 35 minutes ago, thanks for hearing my prayer.

Shades of Gary Numan when you play that flat 5 interval.

always blows me away that even without any effects, the P5/10 somehow doesn't sound mono, I think it's the richest sounding synth I own :)

Matt, thank you very much for this tutorial. This was GREAT! PLEASE we want more of these.

Wonderful synth workshop from a great technician and teacher. Thank you.

I would love for you to teach us how to make a solid wurli/Rhodes patch for gigging, like what effects you would add to it for the most versatile sound. I’m positive a bunch of us fans are gigging keyboardists and you’re a legend whose advise we all desire!

Very excellent explained. I think that some synth-basics are getting lost in the minds of people and sometimes some lessons like this may help to get back to the roots.

This makes me want the Prophet 10 even more than I did yesterday 🤣 🚨⛽️🚨

[MartinBarreby]

Awesome! Hope this will be a series with maybe brass next, and wood winds etc. 🙂

I didn’t think i’d ever need a string sound design, but when it’s taught by Matt it hits different

[PeranMe]

I seriously doubt I could ever get enough of sound design tips from you. Thanks, you’re a star!

[klemenspichler]

This was awesome. Would love to see more. Also this was really nice to follow along with! Thank you.

[eugeniomeza]

Thank you very much for this wonderful tutorial Matt. Hope we can see another one sometime soon. Cheers!

[rogualradiante]

Excellent, great tutorial and I really love the intro of your videos with such a good vibe.

[shey]

Thanks mate! Understanding the basics of the sounds is exactly what I need as a newbie musician.
Would love to see more videos like that.

I often introduce some filter envelope on string or pad sounds, but I actually really like how your approach with only the amp envelope gets a closer sound to a Solina. Will definitely use this approach in the future; thanks, Matt!

Great tutorial Matt. I tried these ideas on JD-XA, and every one of them came up with interesting sound. Thank you so much.

[spadogs]

Thank Matt. Inspired now to sit down with my vintage analogue synths.
