The Legend Explained

In this tutorial series, virtual instrument veteran Larry Holcombe covers the Legend by Synapse Audio Software: a stellar emulation of the legendary Minimoog Model D, with a few tricks of its own. If you're new to synths in general, or simply new to the Moog-style layout, this course will get you completely comfortable with the setup and have you creating your own sounds in no-time. Synapse Audio Software went all out with this emulation, and Larry will make sure you know the ropes of every bell and whistle it has to offer! This video is for new users of The Legend.

Videos

• Introduction & Interface (05:19) - We start off by looking at the interface and introducing the ethos of this plug-in.

• Presets, Knobs, & MIDI Learn (02:01) - Next up, we cover loading and saving presets and also how we can set up MIDI controllers to control the plug-in.

• Oscillators & Signal Flow (07:07) - Explore the signal flow of the plug-in next and then continue on to examine the oscillators in detail.

• Modulation (07:28) - We introduce modulation next, utilizing oscillator 3 and noise to create modulatory signals that can be applied to pitch and also the filter cutoff.

• Mixer (04:27) - The Mixer allows us to blend between our oscillators and introduce juicy analogue fatness using drive and feedback.

• Filter, Filter Envelope, & Amplitude Envelope (05:46) - We look at the filter, filter envelope, and amp envelope in this video, all of which allow our sounds to be sculpted in different ways.

• Top Panel (04:34) - Pitch bend, glide, and our polyphony settings are located on the top panel. Explore their parameters in this video.

• Back Panel (13:33) - This video concentrates on the back panel parameters and also demonstrates using the plug-in as an audio effect!

• Sound Design (08:52) - To finish off, we create a percussive sound, a dark pad, and a boogie-style bass, focusing on sounds design with the Legend.
