Renowned publications have praised Syntorial 2 for its effectiveness:

Key Features:

• Interactive Learning: Syntorial goes beyond simply explaining synth programming; it engages users in interactive challenges where they program patches on a built-in synth. This immersive experience transforms learners into sound designers.
• User-Friendly Approach: Syntorial focuses on practical application rather than delving into the technical aspects of synthesizers. Users will learn how each control affects sound and gain knowledge on when, why, and how to use them when designing sounds – skills they can instantly apply to real-life scenarios.
• Develop Your Ear: Syntorial progressively trains your ear to recognize how each control shapes and manipulates sound. By the end of the program, users will have the ability to recreate sounds entirely by ear.
