On July 22, another pack of lessons, titled the Minimoog Voyager Lesson Pack, was issued, with 34 more videos totaling two hours and 22 minutes. A pack of 37 additional video lessons totaling three hours and 17 minutes, titled the Z3TA+ 2 Lesson Pack, was released on May 30, 2014. Primer was also updated to 1.1 that day, adding a MIDI control mapping feature for customization of the interface. The program was updated to 1.3.1 on February 28, 2014, with the ability to skip lessons and modifications to several patches to get rid of "buried" parameters.
SYNTORIAL REVIEW SOFTWARE
It was also announced by Hanley that day that all the presets in Primer would be created for other software synths, including Analog by Ableton, Logic Pro's ES2, Thor from Reason, Wasp XT included in FL Studio, and Tal-Noisemaker. Version 1.2 of Syntorial was released on September 25, 2013, added 50 presets to the synth and the ability to save user files, significantly tweaked the scoring system and lowered the audio response level, among minor bug fixes. A beta of the VST and AU was released on October 14, 2013, and the official first versions was distributed on November 5, 2013. The day after Syntorial's first official release, Hanley announced that he was in the works of the VST and AU versions of Primer. A beta was released on June 15, 2013, and the first official version of Syntorial came out on August 27.
Hanley said on the main page for the campaign that he was planning to finish the program by March 2013. The money was used for hiring graphic and web designers, for buying JUCE and other development-related programs and paying for some startup business-related expenses. The campaign garnered $8,614, succeeding its $5,500 goal. I went looking for a product like this, it didn't exist, so I made Syntorial."Īfter making the prototype, Hanley held crowd-funding for Syntorial on Kickstarter from August 23 to September 22, 2012. It occurred to me that what I needed was in-depth ear training involving synth-based sound design. Despite the fact that I intellectually understood what most of the controls did, I still felt like I was at the mercy of whatever synth was in front of me.
I was either spending a lot of time browsing through presets, or a lot of time tweaking knobs in a trial-and-error fashion. "I've been a gigging keyboardist and a producer for many years and as I honed the many skills involved in these activites, when it came time to use a synth. He was inspired to make Syntorial based on his struggles of learning musical synthesis:

DevelopmentĪ 2003 graduate of the Berklee College of Music, Joe Hanley had been a professional musician for 17 years, a teacher for nine years, and a composer for six years before he began work on Syntorial.
SYNTORIAL REVIEW MOD
Syntorial uses controls and features that are the most common in many synthesizers, including subtractive synthesis, three oscillators, saw, pulse, triangle and sine waves, an FM parameter, noise oscillator, oscillator sync, band-pass filter with resonance and key tracking, ADSR envelopes, an AD modulation envelope, LFO, monophonic and polyphonic voice modes, portamento, unison with voice, detune and spread controls, ring modulation, distortion, chorus, phaser, delay, reverb, mod wheel, pitch wheel and velocity. Once the user finishes all the lessons, he/she will have programmed 706 patches. A total of 39 quizzes are included in-between lessons. As the user progresses, more controls are added in each topic. Once the user corrects the mistakes, they can try the challenge again or move on to the next lesson.
SYNTORIAL REVIEW PATCH
After the user is done programming the sound, they will submit the patch to the program, with the user shown what controls they used correctly and what controls they used incorrectly. Each lesson starts with a video lecture teaching a control or a group of controls, followed by a challenge a patch is heard, but the user is not shown how the patch is programmed, so that they can try to program the patch to sound like the hidden patch. Syntorial includes a total of 199 lessons and 129 interactive challenges, where the user programs sounds using a built-in synth called Primer.
