“Syntorial Is the Most Direct Route Between Hearing a Sound in Your Head and Knowing How to Bring It to Life.” – Electronic Musician Magazine
Applicable to most hardware and software synthesizers on the market
The Only Synthesizer Programming Course You Will Ever Need!
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 control effects 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.
Expandable
Along with the 197 core essential lessons 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.
New lessons are published regularly and come free for Syntorial owners.
“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”

Learn by doing! Complete challenges by programming patches with Syntorial’s built-in synth.

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
