In this video Davide demonstrates how to make a synth sequence / acid riff using a step sequencer on the Melbourne Instruments Nina Synth and reproduces the steps using a digital synthesiser to create the classic triplet feel synth riff. Here he shows how to assign a modulation envelope to the cut off filter to create variation in a riff and how to perform it live. This video also demonstrates how to fit it into a track, in this case he Is programming the riff in C Minor.

This video is taken from the up and coming Sound Design course from the School of Synthesis, a follow up to the Scaler 2 Course, which will be available Q4 2023.

Also check out the Plugin Boutique live stream with Davide on Wednesday the 4th of October at 10am UK time or which will also be made available to stream anytime once is broadcast here:    / @pluginboutiqueofficial
