Synth Basics - A Basic Overview
This two-part instructional video covers the basics of subtractive synths. An overview of the different controls and what they do.
Learn the common oscillator waveform types and the controls, filters, and envelopes, to manipulate them to create a wide variety of synth sounds.
These two videos will give you a good overview that carries over to all subtractive synths - both hardware and software.
In this case Howie Gordon is using the Subtractor synth in Reason, but the theory applies to all of them.
