From Presets to Power UserSince Cakewalk Synthesizers: From Presets to Power User was published there have been a number of changes to the featured synthesizers, including:

  • Rapture has been updated to version 1.1.
  • Z3TA+ has been updated to version 1.5 and Z3TA+ Update Manager has been released.
  • Dimension LE has been launched.

As a result I have made an update available to download from my website. Follow this link noisesculpture.com/cakewalk-synthesizers to get the update.

The download is freely available to anyone, and while it will be of most use to people with the book, if you’re still wondering whether to buy it, please feel free to download the update and take a look. You can also download the table of contents and a sample chapter from my website.

From Presets to Power UserCakewalk Synthesizers: From Presets to Power User is the ultimate guide to understanding and using all of Cakewalk’s synthesizers, and learning about synthesizer programming.

The book starts by discussing the general theory around creating sounds with the featured synthesizers looking at oscillators, samples, frequency modulation, wave shaping, phase modulation, ring modulation, and how these sound sources can be deployed. From there, the chapters focus on each distinct synthesizer, its range of uses, what tools are available with it, and how to set it up for day-to-day use.
