In the next big 2.0 update (due out in the summer) we're getting rid of the popup help videos that are interspersed throughout the first lesson. Introductory Help videos: I couldn't agree more. We appreciate candid feedback like this! It helps us make Syntorial better. All that it has going for it is gamification, which is significant, but still. But no, I've seen plenty that at least provide a dynamic visualization of the waveform, which means that Syntorial is exceptionally bad. This makes me wonder whether other synth UIs are 10x worse if they don't even put an effort into the educational aspect. So rather than building up correspondences between sounds and the waveforms, it's just about sounds and the states all the various controls scattered about the screen. Why not slow down the oscillator to the point where you can clearly hear it? Or have a visualization of the waveform front and center so you can clearly see it? Instead, all you see is a tiny static icon and a bunch of knobs. And then as for the actual content, it provides no meaningful distinction between the basic wave forms other than that the pulse sounds "like a video game". As if start and exit buttons aren't self-explanatory.
MASSIVE SYNTORIAL LESSON PACK HOW TO
The whole setup of showing you a video how to use the application UI and then an embedded video about how to use the synth's UI is pretty insulting. Yesterday I tried the Syntorial demo ended up deinstalling it about five minutes in. I'm new to synths and electronic music production and have been surveying different software available, with a particular eye towards educational tools.
