After you've mastered the oscillators and filters (which are covered in Synth 101) it's time to add some life, motion and dynamics to your patches.
In this tutorial Fab explains everything you need to know about:
What is modulation and why it's essential to sound design
Envelopes (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) and how to visualize what they're doing to the sound
LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators) to add expression and motion
Portamento (aka Glide) to smooth the transitions between notes
How to route and combine modulations to create complex and unique synth sounds

I fell in love with synths in audio school and I've began my patching adventures on my first synth the Moog Grandmother!
Thanks Fab for the helpful refreshers ^^

Any Second Now, I'll tell you I Just Can't Get Enough- and soon I'll be Dreaming Of Me watching 103 and learning even more synth lore. ;)
Thank you Mr. DuPont this was very educational as usual.
