patch building

Hey..im trying to get into building my own patches as i've been
using presets so far but cant seem to find what i'm lookin for
to fit my tracks. i use reason and cubase..most of times sometimes
rewired. either using reason synths e.g combinator or vsts like Z3ta,
Massive, FM8, Vstation, Zebra, Sylenth, EI2XT, Gladiator etc i'm lookin to learn
1 particular synth (mostly for leads n bass).
Since i'm tryn it out 1st time round i'd like to know which 1 u guys would
recommend to a guy jus startin out building patches of his own and any
good literature out there on synthesis...

well for me when it comes to making my own sounds/patch's it's all to do with trail and error. just play and play,use your vsts untill you make something you like.

do you own reason 4? Thor can do any synth sound you'll ever need.

I think Massive is a very cool synth; I have made it my go to VSTi and I try to program all my sounds on it. As for literature, there is a lot available online; I suspect others will be able to provide some good resources. Finally, I find the folks over at the KVR forums extremely helpful when it comes to sound design; highly recommended

The first Vst synth I thought was easy to use was V-station you can get really cool sounds out of that very quickly.

If you are serious about learning synthesis i would get either a roland juno 6/106 or a nord lead 2. Every single parameter is layed out on the front panel, they sound great (especially the juno) and are very very easy to use and learn subtractive synthesis on.

Read the Synthesizer Tutorial! Adam Szabo (A.K.A. Adam Van Baker) is my favorite sound designer! Also check out his hot soundsets there so sexy!
