massive course expansion pack lesson

Not Only Massive, Universal For All Synthesizers

Along with the 41 Massive lessons and 197 core essential lessons and that come with Syntorial, additional free Lesson Packs expand your learning experience into the most popular synths on the market. Check out the current lineup.

Learn by Doing

Syntorial doesn’t just show you how synth programming works. Unlike a series of videos, you’ll learn by doing through interactive, all-by-ear programming challenges on a real synthesizer.

You aren’t just learning how to design sound, you are becoming a sound designer.

For Musicians, Not Physicists

Instead of talking about the science and physics behind synthesizers, Syntorial will show you how each Massive knob affects sound, as well as when, why and how you would use them when designing sounds.

This is information that you can immediately apply to real-life sound design situations.

All by Ear

One step at a time, Syntorial trains your ear to recognize how each control shapes and manipulates sound. Learn to recognize by ear waveforms, filters, envelopes, LFO, effects, and more.

By the end of the program you’ll be able to take the synthesizer sounds you hear in songs and re-create them, completely by ear.

Easily Transfer What You Learn

Syntorial’s built-in synth, known as Primer, also comes as a free VST/AU plugin.

This way you can take the very synth that you’re training on, and use it in any recording software that accepts VST and AU plugins.

“The best training in synth sound design we’ve come across. A unique and fun way to train your ears in re-creating synth sounds. We look forward to future updates 10/10”

Don’t Take Our Word For It, Here’s What Other Aspiring Sound Designers Are Saying…

“This has been the best, most comprehensive way for me to really learn subtractive synthesis. I think the whole approach to ear training for synth programming is brilliant and has really helped me develop the skills needed to hear a sound and begin to know how to recreate it. I really love how the lessons transcend any one particular synth and are immediately transferable to the synths of my choice, both hardware and software. I enjoyed Syntorial so much that I ordered their Building Blocks lesson packs and jumped on Syntorial v2 when it came out. These lessons are in league of their own by far.”

Michael

“Easily one of the best ways to learn and develop your ears for synthesis at the same time. I came into it knowing quite a bit already, but the ear training part of it is key and Syntorial provides a very structured way to practice that extremely important aspect. The new version is massively improved as well over the previous one and it’s just a joy to use overall. Highly recommended!”

Cosmin D.

“It’s a great and comprehensive teaching tool that slowly trains your ear with each successive lesson. This is the best way to learn how to use synthesizers.”

Most Frequent Questions

Yes. For 3 reasons:

  1. Our users say so. Check out these testimonials.
  2. With Syntorial you’re not simply buying an app, you’re also buying a ton of content. Between the Essential Lessons and the additional Lesson Packs (included with your purchase) you get 352 videos, 128 challenges, and 706 patches. Not to mention a synth plugin. Not to mention an amazing interactive experience that takes all of that content and surgically weaves it into your hungry, music-addled brain. 
  3. You get about ~50 hours of training (depending on your pace). For 10% of the price of equivalent collective music classes!

Yes. The Massive lesson pack uses the actual Massive plugin for patch creation and demonstrations, so you’ll need a licensed copy of massive installed on your system.

Nope. Syntorial is designed for absolute beginners. It starts with the basics and builds up gradually. By the time you get to the Sylenth1-specific lessons, you’ll already have a strong foundation.

YouTube tutorials show you what someone else is doing. Syntorial trains you to do it yourself. It’s interactive—you hear a sound, then try to recreate it. That ear-training process makes all the difference, and it’s something passive tutorials just can’t offer.

You’ll learn Massive programming along your Syntorial progress. The Massive lessons are accessible immediately and structured to insert nicely into the overall course progression.

Yes. The free demo gives you access to the first 22 Syntorial lessons together with sample lessons from the Massive lesson pack.
