The Best Synthesizer Patch Tips from Superbooth 2025 // ELEVATE YOUR SOUND DESIGN & CREATIVITY
It takes good people to make all the good gear we love and it's the ideas that motivate, inspire and elevate our creativity and knowledge for sound design, synthesis and music making. With that in mind I asked people at Superbooth 2025 for a patch tip and here's a video with their answers.
I also documented these tips, in my words, and extended them with further ideas so you can follow along and apply these to hardware or software that you like to work with. Grab the free (or pay what you want to support) PDF below.
