Explore the art of crafting unique sounds using synthesizers and samplers. This course covers creating custom leads, basslines, pads, and effects to shape your signature sound.

1. Introduction to Sound Design

   • What is sound design? Overview and importance in electronic music
   • Types of sounds: leads, basses, pads, plucks, and FX
   • Introduction to synthesizers and samplers

2. Synthesizer Basics

   • Understanding oscillators, waveforms, and their characteristics
   • Filters: low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and resonance
   • Envelopes: ADSR for amplitude and filter shaping

3. Advanced Synthesis Techniques

   • Modulation: LFOs, envelopes, and automation
   • Oscillator detuning and unison for richer sounds
   • Layering sounds for complexity

4. Sound Design for Bass and Leads

   • Designing punchy basslines and sub-bass
   • Creating expressive leads: monophonic and polyphonic approaches
   • Using pitch bends and portamento

5. Pads, Plucks, and FX Design

   • Crafting lush pads and evolving textures
   • Designing sharp plucks and melodic arps
   • Creating risers, impacts, sweeps, and other effects

6. Working with Samplers and Resampling

   • Introduction to sampling and audio manipulation
   • Creating unique sounds through resampling
   • Granular synthesis techniques
7. Mixing and Processing Sound Design
   • Applying EQ, compression, and reverb to enhance sounds
   • Using distortion, saturation, and bitcrushing creatively
   • Tips for stereo width and panning

8. Final Project and Creative Techniques

   • Students design a sound pack (10-15 presets or samples)
   • Advanced sound design workflows and tricks
   • Exploring experimental sound creation
