Synthesis can seem extremely daunting. When you open up a synth like Logic's ES2, you're confronted with a huge array of buttons, knobs and sliders whose function seems obscure at best.
Even if you study the manual (yawn) and can find your way around, it can still be extremely frustrating; hearing the sounds you want to make in your head, but unable to produce them. ES2 Synthesis guides you all the way from the foundations of synthesis to advanced sound design in 2hrs 35mins of HD video.
The tutorials are split into three parts, which can be bought separately:
Part 1 explains the layout of the ES2, and how its oscillators, filters and effects section can be employed to build starting points for your sounds.
Part 2 covers the modulation matrix and explains using Envelopes, LFOs and Expressive modulation sources to give your sound the dynamic shape and sonic character you're after.
Part 3 is where things really start to get interesting. Over the course of 18 sound design workshop videos, we look at making Basses, Pads & Chords, Fx and Percussive sounds. We’ll be using examples from modern electronic music styles to teach you a broad range of techniques.
You can see a list of the included videos or buy the pack (or individual modules) here.
The tutorial pack also includes several Logic project files and 21 ES2 patches to study and adapt at your leisure.

Synthesis is the beating heart of electronic music. Bass, Chords, Pads, Leads, Effects and Percussion sounds can be made through synthesis. In fact, it's perfectly possible (and quite common) to make tracks using only synthesized sounds.
If you own Apple's Logic Studio or Logic Express, you also own the ES2, since it's one of the native synths that Logic ships with. If you've come across it, you'll know that it's a beast of an instrument, with a huge array of options for sound generation/modulation, and an almost limitless potential for new sounds.
The ES2 is also a subtractive synthesizer. That makes it part of the most popular family of synths by far. As a result, the knowledge you will gain in this tutorial series is applicable to many thousands of other synthesizers, both software and hardware.
ES2 Synthesis doesn't simply teach you about buttons and knobs, however. I created this tutorial series precisely because there aren't any other tutorials out there that teach you the really juicy stuff: making amazing sounds that take your tracks to the next level.

ThierryI'm quite experienced on the ES2 but I must say that I have picked up a new thing or two already. The best thing about the tutorials are the design workshops. Those are awesome and really make a difference.
Eric CardenasThe tutorials are presented in an easy to follow and logical fashion. They go into just enough depth without being confusing or too verbose.
The information provided helped me get a better understanding of how to get in and start making my own custom sounds. As a result, the ES2 has become my "go to" synth for all manner of applications.
I'd also like to mention that the support you offered me as an end-user was stellar!
Brett GraceHey, great tutorials, seriously! The quality is good, the content is good, and I really appreciated your professional yet casual presentation.
I was on the fence about buying them because I'm already fairly familiar with ES2 and synthesis, but the price was good so figured the last set would be worth it alone. Turns out I picked up a lot of new tidbits from the first two parts, and the last group was even better than I expected.
Christopher OrthJust like to say the tutorials are great and easily worth the money. I love the fact they are HD and you are so clear and concise which makes for being a great teacher.

Please note: You can buy the modules individually, but each module builds on the knowledge presented in the previous modules. So if you purchase a later module without a good grasp on the basics, you may not get the most out of the tutorials.
This module takes a look at the overall layout of the ES2, and then looks at the oscillators, filters and effects sections in depth. During this time the fundamental concepts of subtractive synthesis will be explained.
Here we look at Modulation, including Envelopes, LFOs and Expressive modulation. In addition we look at some of the more 'exotic' forms of synthesis that the ES2 can do.
Where we get our hands dirty with practical workshops on building all manner of sounds. This module also includes 21 ES2 patches and some demonstration Logic project files.
