SurgeXT: The Ultimate Free Synth (Quick Start Guide)
#SurgeXT #freeplugins #synthesizers
SurgeXT (surge-synthesizer.github.io/) is a free hybrid synthesizer plugin that is just as powerful and useful as many of the expensive soft synths on the market. The one downside is the interface and signal flow isn't instantly intuitive. This is a quick start guide to help get music producers and sound designers up and running with SurgeXT. Once you get a feel for the layout of the synth you'll have no problem tweaking existing presets or creating entirely new sounds from scratch. For this video you'll need a basic knowledge and understanding of how synthesizers work (oscillators, filters, envelopes, modulators). We only scratch the surface of what this instrument is capable of so definitely download it and experiment to get a sense of everything this beast of a free synth can do.

I'm happy people start to recognize SurgeXT more and more. It's a great synth with a lot synthesis, modulation, filtering and effect I try to point out as well in my videos 🌻
learned alot from this! Thank you
Good stuff!
BUT HOW DO YOU AUDITION SOUNDS THAT YOU UPLOAD?
yeah i had this about two years ago, but it was awefully buggy and would suffer from glitching out. such a shame i tried to reach out to them but no one answered it looks like they stopped any support for it. it had so much potential and came with so many useable presets too....

I'm using Surge since quite a while and producing some tutorials and all the time I had problems or questions that the really great manual didn't solve, I asked them on discord and every time I got after a minute an answer. So maybe you asked in the wrong place?

Not sure where you reached out, but Surge has been in constant development since it was open sourced in 2018... We have had hundreds upon hundreds of commits to the codebase and an awful lot of additions and fixes and things!
is there a button for me to play the sound?

I was looking for the same info too. On the bottom right corner, there is menu. Click on menu -> workflow -> virtual keyboard, then you will see a virtual MIDI keyboard. I really don't think this software is for an absolute beginners that just wanna learn what the hell synthesizer is.
