Larry greets you and then gives an introduction to the RETRO MACHINES synth including its user interface so you can easily navigate it and find what you're looking for. He then starts to systematically break down the different sections starting with the Oscillator & Filter Sections where you can manipulate and sculpt your raw waveforms to create thicker, chorused tones and eq’ed variations, as well as sculpt the frequencies to taste.

Next its on to the Amp and LFO sections where you tweak the sampled waveform’s attack and release times to widen the palette of sounds you can create, including adjusting the rate and shape of modulation for endless sounds. Moving on you'll discover ways to setup your MIDI keyboard to work with Retro Machines, the differences between Solo, Legato and Glide Modes, and how to add effects to your sounds in the powerful effects section.

Throughout the rest of the videos Larry explains and explores Sound Variations, the Arpeggiator, Chord Mode, the Settings Tab, how to create a beat using experimental synthesized percussion sounds, make a cool, choppy chord part, tweak a bass patch and program a funky-retro bass part, make lead and pad sounds, and much more!

This is a relatively straightforward synth but it has a few surprises in store. Larry explains the ins and outs succinctly and with some good examples to illustrate general points, too. The highlight of the video series for me was the last third, in which Larry creates a short track from scratch using only this synth. While the jury is out on whether the track was a success, it was a lot of fun to see the process and to witness the various parameters of the synth being put to use more organically. Great fun!

Larry at it again showing you how to make the best out of what you have! Great tutorial showing cool ways to use a fairly otherwise simple synth
