There are several different ways to create or play sounds in an electronic music environment. These techniques have been around for a long time and even today's most excitingly modern technology is most often just a re-iteration of these basic theories. By learning these techniques, you will overcome any one synth or program and be able to jump into any new environment knowing exactly what to look for.
You need to know about the following:
the difference between MIDI and audio waveforms
sampling
theories of synthesis
-- oscillator
-- LFO
-- filter
-- envelope
-- routing (modulation)
-- frequency modulation
how to implement EQ and compression
Each of the above topics stands to be elaborated upon at great length. I will use this list as an outline for my first posts.
