LEIRIA, PORTUGAL – Sound Particles, the renowned audio technology company, just released a new free eBook entitled “How to Program a Synth” for musicians who want to deepen their understanding of synthesizers. Rather than just relying on presets, readers will learn how to build and program sounds from scratch, understand the fundamental building blocks of any synthesizer, and gain the confidence to create their own unique sounds.
While Sound Particles offers several software synthesizers — such as SkyDust 3D, hailed by Jean-Michel Jarre as “a game changer”, alongside MiniDust and the recently released GrainDust, which explores granular synthesis — the eBook focuses on core principles that are universal. These concepts can be applied to any synthesizer on the market, regardless of the brand.
As part of Sound Particles’ Education Month, How to Program a Synth joins a broader set of educational initiatives aimed at empowering emerging musicians and sound designers.
Throughout this campaign, students, educators, and academic institutions can benefit from 65% off educational licenses until the end of January 2026, making professional audio tools more accessible to the next generation of creators.
