Learn synthesis in your browser with Ableton

Synthesizers are at the foundation of many different kinds of music. They’re musical instruments that can make a huge range of sounds. But they can be hard to understand.

Ableton have made a new site, Learning Synths. It’s an interactive website that puts a powerful but easy-to-learn synthesizer right in your web browser.

It’s free, sounds great, and works on any internet-connected device. Best of all, it comes with its own step-by-step lessons so you can explore and learn the fundamentals of synthesis at your own pace.
