I used this book when i was first getting started. I definitely think it's great to have a synth in front of you too. For me it was very much a proces of reading, feeling confused, twiddling, feeling less confused, taking what i learned hands-on and bringing it back to the book, gaining deeper understanding, then taking it back to the machine, and so on.

i started with an alesis micron and then a microkorg, and now i have graduated to modular synths, all in three years. fun times.

This is a FANTASTIC book I think.

The name is awful, the content is good.

I don't mean to sound like a jerk. You need to learn Synthesis in general. I could definetly tell you to try using multiple oscs that are slightly detuned, raising them an octave, and applying chorus and reverb, In addition to raising your amp attack.

But all that is useless if you don't really understand why you're doing what your doing.

Read this book: http://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Synthesizer-Wizard-Presets-Power/dp/1598635506

and a synth like this will be nothing.

You have to learn how to make your own synth patches if you want half a chance at being a good producer.

I strongly recommend reading

This book, and a lot of experimenting in my free time took me from solely using presets, to being able to make almost any sound from scratch in a summer.

Interesting, I think Krieg is probably the example of a Wumpscut tune I'd enjoy being able to emulate.

YouTube instructional vids can be a chore to follow along with, and letting a song play in the background and trying to match the patch when you are nowhere near to begin with has not yielded great results for me just yet.

Wonder if Synth Cookbook is worth a look, or this Synth Wizard book.
