  • Elevate your synth skills

    My sound banks Infinite Structure sand Echotronics changed the game with their ultimate Psychedelic macros and polished delivery. 

    Focusing mostly on Xfer Serum and Sylenth1, I'll show you how I set up my classic sounds and macros from scratch.

  • Get inside the sample packs

    I take you inside the original Cubase projects for many of my samples, and show you how and why they work, from synth setup, through the MIDI and the processing. 

    Through unpacking the sounds, you'll get a unique look at the layering that makes these famous samples come alive.

  • Creative Process

    False starts, blank screens and self-doubt are something that I had to overcome to become a successful sound designer, catering to the Psytrance scene's demanding standards.

    From the psychological to the motivational, let's push through that.

Quick tip

One way Alex likes to get a deep, 3D pad sound is by breaking up the notes of a chord onto individual synths.

How about a four-note chord, spread across four synths?
