Let’s Explore Surge XT – Ryan Noakes Composer

A while back I was introduced to a wonderfully powerful and delightfully open-source software synthesizer, Surge XT. I told several friends about it, and a few had a difficult time wrapping their heads around how to get started. (The UI is a common complaint and can make it seem very intimidating on first blush) After giving them a quick walkthrough it was suggested I make some tutorials. I’ve FINALLY finished working on them in my little tiny spurts of free time here and there! Click the link below to go to the YouTube playlist of the 3 episodes I made.

I had a lot of fun creating these, and I think that as time (that rarest of commodities) and inspiration allow, I’ll continue to make similar videos, exploring Surge XT.
