Description

Synth guru Larry Holcombe delivers in-depth Native Instruments SUPER 8 video tutorials! Learn all about this modern take on vintage polysynths, including its features and functions, and how to use it creatively to design your own vintage synth sounds and presets. These videos are designed for new SUPER 8 users.

To start Larry welcomes you and then explains what the overall vibe and intent of SUPER 8 is, and then goes into the ways it can be loaded, followed by an overview of the user interface. The powerful Oscillators are next, and Larry explains all their parameters including Shapes, the Mix Dial, and how to thicken things up with the Sub Oscillator, as well as tune the oscillators to different pitches for thick pitched effects. Then you'll learn about the Sync and FM Modes which allow you to really bend and shape the oscillator output for added interest and complexity.

Throughout the rest of the SUPER 8 video tutorials Larry covers in detail the Filters, Pitch Mod Envelope, Modulators and their routing, Effects Slots, Global & Unison Control, creating Analogue Style Drift, using Portamento, Stacked Voices and more. Then to tie it all together you'll get step by step sound design videos showing you how to program sounds such as electronic percussion, Juno style pads, house bass, and a complex, huge evolving pad, all from scratch.

I wasn't convinced by the sound of Super 8 towards the beginning of the series, but by the end I'd changed my mind. I love the visual feedback this synth provides. I know many synths do, but this synth takes it one step further than most, so if you ever get confused about what you're doing, that visual feedback can be very useful. Larry does an excellent job of introducing all key features and then putting them to use in some great sound design examples.

I appreciate your time.

Yet another helpful series from Groove3. What I truly love about Groove3 is the extensive and thorough explanations of the NI products. Super 8 isn't one of the popular items from NI it seems and what's great is that Groove3 didn't skip on covering it regardless. This is what makes Groove3 different from all the other tutorial companies. However big or small the product is - they cover it! I hope they continue their coverage of NI products - especially for the programs included in Komplete Ultimate. As for Super 8, the tutorials go through everything you need to know. What seemed so intimidating at first glance is actually quote comprehendible with this Groove3 Super 8 tutorials.
