Learn Sampling BasicsCreate Your Own Music
This beginner session covers three core sound design areas.
Sampling-Based Sound Design teaches creating new sounds by chopping and rearranging recorded audio using samplers, DAWs, and effects like EQ and reverb.
Introduction to Synthesis explains how electronic sounds are made using oscillators, filters, and envelopes, exploring different synthesis types such as subtractive and FM. Students practice building and shaping tones from scratch.
SP-404 Demonstration introduces performance-based sampling with the Roland SP-404, showing how to load, trigger, and process samples using onboard effects. The session ends with a jam, helping students confidently experiment with both digital and hardware sound creation.

Topics Covered
1. Sampling-Based Sound Design (45 mins)
Objective: Understand how to create new sounds using samples.
What is sampling?
→ Concept of reusing recorded sounds as creative building blocks.
Types of samples: Drums, melodic loops, found sounds, vocals.
Tools for sampling (DAWs, samplers, and grooveboxes).
Hands-on:
→ Import a sample into a sampler.
→ Chop and rearrange a vocal/drum loop.
→ Apply basic effects (EQ, reverb, delay).
Creative exercise: Make a short loop from any random sound.
2. Introduction to Synthesis (45 mins)
Objective: Learn the basics of how sounds are generated electronically.
What is synthesis?
→ Difference between subtractive, additive, FM, and wavetable synthesis.
Key building blocks:
→ Oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFOs.
Understanding waveforms (sine, square, saw, triangle).
Live demo:
→ Create a bass or pad sound from scratch using a basic synth (like Serum, Vital, or Analog Lab).
Exercise: Modify parameters to see how sound changes.
3. SP-404 Demonstration (30–40 mins)
Objective: Introduce students to performance-based sampling and effects.
Overview of Roland SP-404 (MKII or classic).
Basic workflow: loading samples, pads, banks, and patterns.
Effects demonstration: Vinyl sim, reverb, delay, lo-fi compression.
Live demo: Create a short beat using samples.
Jam session: Encourage students to trigger sounds and experiment.
