10:07 Oscillators 1 to 3: Wavetable
Oscillators 1, 2, and 3 are each capable of very flexible operation from working like an analog synthesizer to a more modern wavetable synth, and in this video, I show you how to use them.
-
7:29 Oscillators 4 to 6: Sampler
Oscillators 4, 5, and 6 offer a different form of sound generation, this time as a sampler, which opens up a lot of possibilities on its own or combined elsewhere. See how it all works!

6:38 The Filters
Filters are a huge part of synthesis, and ANA 2 has some excellent ones. Here, we get a look through all of the parameters involved and how to use them.

Now take a look at ANA 2's envelopes, from simple ADSR to the added graphical envelopes in the G-Env Section.

4:32 The LFOs
In this video, we look at ANA 2's LFOs, which can add movement and wobbling to all kinds of parameters of our sounds through modulation.
-
6:28 The Mod Matrix & Macros
In this video, we go through the Modulation Matrix, where we can link our parameters to all of the different available controls throughout ANA 2. This can provide a huge set of possible ways to dynamically manipulate a sound.

Here I explain and explore ANA 2's Arp, which can add rhythmic arpeggiation to your sound automatically, for a programmed sequence built from the notes pressed.

Like we did with the bass, we now explore and create a lead sound and play with it in a few different cool ways.
-
11:16 Sound Design Example: Pad
Pads can be a great place to really do some cool synth programming, and with ANA 2, we have no shortage of options and parameters to play with. See how to make a massive pad sound and let it evolve and modulate.

Really insightful and well laid out course!
The course goes into depths of each control the ANA 2 has to offer. I liked how the course is really well paced too. Not too fast not too slow.
