Join veteran Groove3 instructor Thomas Cochran for an Ableton Live Meld Synth sound design video course! In this Meld Synth course, you'll learn how to build various synth patches—from pads and leads to basses and more—using nothing but Meld, but you'll also learn valuable sound design skills that can be applied to other synths as well. By the end of this Meld Synth video course, you'll feel confident enough with Meld to make it one of your go-to instruments for any production. These Meld Synth videos are designed for Ableton Live Meld Synth users.
