DCAM Synth Squad by fxpansion combines 3 modeled synths and a super deep layering tool into an insanely powerful bundle. Sound complicated? Well, it isn’t because you’ve got the exceptional synth guru Matt Vanacoro here to demystify it. Check it out! The first synth is called Strobe. It’s a super tight analog mono-synth. The next synth is Cypher. It’s a harmonically rich analog FM emulation. Then there’s Amber. Put on your tie-dyed tee and trip out on Amber’s lush 70s string sounds. This massive 39-tutorial course, designed by Matt Vanacoro, takes you through each of these unique sonic superstars and explains how each one of them works. From their interface, to their synth functions, you get all the inside info! Matt also explains how to program their common features like the arpeggiator, LFOs, and Visualizer. Finally, Matt, digs into the Synth Squad vortex: Fusor. This is where the powers of these awesome synths come together, layer, combine and animate in ways that are beyond belief!

Learning Fusor is like learning the secrets of the DCAM universe! This course – filled with great explanations and examples – will totally get you well on your way to becoming a fxpansion DCAM Synth Squad master!
