There's actually a lot of super simple ones in there for starters, but it's going to get way more complex as time goes on. Hopefully there will be a little (or a lot?) of something for everybody. Thanks for checking it out!

Hello, world! I've never made one of these release posts before, but since I tend to post music-production-related things in the community when I can, and because I've wanted to create something like this for a really long time, I thought this might be of some use to some of you who want to learn how to create cool synth patches!
In a nutshell, it's 2 hours long, breaks everything down into fundamental parts and essentially sets you up to 'feel' your way around any synth -- while it's geared toward modular, mastering this will ultimately enable you to work seamlessly with any other VST or analog synth, picking up the the few additional bells or whistles along the way, since they all operate in the same fundamental fashion.
The topics range from oscillators, samplers, filters and noise sources to ADSR envelope generators, LFOs, clock generators, macros and beyond. What's cool about this is that, if you've got something like LFOs in the bag, you can pretty much just skip that video and work on your weaker points -- for example, if you've never used clock generators, you can just jump straight into that one with no hesitation. No need for a linear approach, as zigzagging works just fine :).
So anyway, there's that. If anyone uses and enjoys this, I'd be excited to even create more series like it. Thanks for checking it out, and let me know if you have any questions!

I enjoy making sample packs so much that I've probably created more than 60 lengthy packs (all from scratch) in the past 2-3 years, so I figured I'd periodically drop some free bandcamp codes here just to give back to this awesome community.
(To be clear, my packs are royalty free and perfectly fine to use in all types of projects. The only thing I ask is that you don't re-distribute them)
Redemption instructions are written inside of the square, so if you punch a code in before someone else, you'll get to save it to your account forever! I've also used the max column / row size so there should be enough to go around -- and while supplies last, I'll post new or old ones at random here from time to time!
Without further ado, here is the first batch:
It depends on how far your are into your music-production journey, but for a few power tools:
- Cardinal (free)
- PlugData (free)
- Chow BYOD (free)
- Vital (free)
- Surge (free)
- UVI Falcon
- Voltage Modular (has a free tier, and an active Humble Bundle upgrade for $1 as I type this)
- Redux (of Renoise 'fame')
- BYOME (UA / Plugin Alliance)
- TRIAD (UA / Plugin Alliance)
- Pretty much any of Glitchmachine's plugins (they usually go on sale for about $10 a pop)

I've been making fairly large sample packs over the past few years if anyone wants to check them out
Weirdly, I feel like it's hard to get organic traffic / supporters/ followrs from Gumroad itself, whereas Itch's community spirit and interactive nature fosters more engagement and, if nothing else, lots of organic traffic on your page. Maybe there's another dimension to GR that I'm not privy to, but it seems more like a "Here you go, you're on your own!" type of experience and Itch is way more warm and inviting in comparison.
I also found this thread on a Google search, I like that it's not even that old yet. Great minds think alike!
