The DX100 is 80s FM Synthesis at its Grittiest
The Yamaha DX100 is a miniature FM synth from the mid 80s. It's similar in sound to the famous DX7 but grittier and tougher, due to its overdrive-able DAC. In fact, it has a similar vibe to the SP-1200. It is the sound of early Detroit techno (specifically the Solid Bass patch), Roger Troutman's talkbox (the Hard Brass patch), countless 80s Lynch-esc soundtracks, hotel lounge vibes and so much more.

This classes uses the same system I've used for years in my college courses for teaching sound design: Identify and master the 4 main pieces of any synthesizer, and you will be flying when you first approach any other unit in the future.

Bring the Chaos and Anarchy of the Modular World to Your DAW
A little over ten years ago, Doepfer, with the help of Kraftwerk, released several small synth components in the newly designed Eurorack format. Beginning with simple analog modules, the company paved the way for others to create their own designs, which naturally began to stray (in the best of ways) from the traditional modules. Today, the format is more popular than ever, with hundreds of Eurorack modules, ranging from simple VCOs to advanced DSP effects units.
