Best wishes!

Thanks so much for the tutorial. I hesitate to be critical because you obviously shared yourself with us here and for that you are rightly thanked!

I did, however, keep wishing tht you would explain, in every step, why you were making the setting changes you were making. What I feel I end up with is a cool sound by following the steps, but it was a little like painting by the numbers in that I had no real idea what I was doing outside of making setting alterations.

Many of the edits seemed to have no affect on the sound being created, and I kept thinking you would go into these later, but I never did learn why most of these settings were being called for.

Also, after loading the envelopes at the end I could not, can not, for the life of me, get them to look like your settings. I admit that I am a relative newbie, but something as simple as “Softening the attack” of the three oscillators should be easy fare, but is something I could not do. I wonder why?

I know it would take much longer to create a tutorial like what I am asking, but the end result would be beneficial to users in an understanding of the overall approach.

Please continue to make tutorials.

Thanks for all your efforts.

some feedback on the tutorial though –
just before step 5 my patch started to sound different. also the picture in step 5 is different than the text. ie the oscillator type on C should be infected harmonies.

also i found that step 7 is a little brushed over. i had to play around to load up the different envelopes, and they were all triggering in strange ways (the point of absynth i guess!). something to do with the release cause when i let go of the key it kept trying to move through the envelope and was still playing out the speakers.

anyways just commenting that i liked the tutorial but it could use a bit of polish in some places cause absynth has always been daunting for folks like myself.

how about a FM8 one too ?
