unfa - LZW S2/01 - New video series + ZynAddSubFX interface overview

In this video I resurrect LZW (LMMS & ZynAddSubFX Watch & Learn).
Series 2, Episode 01.

I haven't seen a comprehensive and competent ZynAddSubFX overview, so I decided to start up this new series by showing you the tools we're going to be using to synthesize our music out of thin air, bit by bit later in the series. If you want to find your passion for synthetic music - subscribe!

Get the software here: http://lmms.sf.net/download.php - it's Free and OpenSource Software :)

Next up in the series: Synthesizing Drums: Kick Drum.
