"Learning Synths" from Ableton
A fantastic way to learn all about synths and how sounds are created, on an interactive website.
"Learning Synths is a new, interactive website that puts a powerful but easy-to-learn synthesizer right in your web browser. It’s free, sounds great, and works on any internet-connected device. Best of all, it comes with its own step-by-step lessons so you can explore and learn the fundamentals of synthesis at your own pace."
