How to Think About Sound Programming
A NOTE OF
ADVICE
As you take a closer look at the factory-set patches (preset patches),
you'll notice all sorts of clever tricks that were used to create the sounds.
Remember these tricks, and use them to create new sounds from scratch.
As you create your own sounds by modifying the preset patches, you'll
learn various ways in which the sound can be changed.
