Thanks Joe. I appreciate your feedback and encouragement. I think Syntorial is a really great tool and I feel like I’ve gotten a lot of value out of it even though I’ve struggled a bit as I’ve mentioned. I’m definitely going to stick with it even if it takes some time to develop my ability to break down these complex patches. Looking forward to future updates and products from y’all!

I wonder if in a future release of Syntorial if there could be a way to isolate certain techniques that need more practice… or somehow limit the field of possible variations in the group challenges based on personal skill level. Like an easy/medium/hard setting…? just some ideas and I don’t really expect that to happen.

I’ve been struggling with the later group challenges to an almost comical level. I can’t even count the number of times I thought I was in the general ball park of the sound but I was no where close to getting it. I’m at the point where I just try to get the bare minimum score so I can move on to the actual learning portion of Syntorial with hopes to go back and retry the group challenges when I have more skill and time. Maybe I need to slow down and take more time with it but when you flunk a few in a row it gets discouraging. Maybe in 10 years when I become a Synth Jedi Master I’ll be able to cruise through these group challenges but for now it’s 1 star all the way! By the way, I love the software and feel like I’m learning a ton, it’s just the group challenges are so depressing sometimes. Maybe I’ll go start a support group now. HA

Joe, thanks for the patch recommendations! The diagram for the “Brass” in the video is a little tough to read but I’ll give it a go. 🙂

It kind of looks like the LFO is being routed through the filter as a saw wave but I can’t tell the rate or amount.

Thanks again!
