Subtractive Synthesis and Creative Process: Bullfrog Synths by Erica Synths
Hardware connoisseurs .Vril & Kris Vanderheyden are joining ADE Lab to showcase the Bullfrog synthesizer, an innovative instrument by Erica Synths and Richie Hawtin, in its full potential. Designed for beginners in sound design, the workshop explores subtractive synthesis, a fundamental method of crafting electronic sounds. Prepare to experience a short showcase and gain insight into the work of subtractive synthesis by two artists who live and breathe everything modular.
