This project-centered course is designed to help learners create sounds and use them in their own musical compositions. Whether they are aspiring producers, composers, or hobbyists, this course will help them gain skills in music production and confidence using software synthesizers. Learners will work together to create a massive database of designed sounds, or patches, to use in their compositions. As part of the course, they will work with a free version of FXpansion Strobe 2. This course is designed for learners who are familiar with music production basics, and who have access to some basic music production equipment. Specifically, they should have experience with a digital audio workstation that supports VST, AAX, or AU plugins (Introduction to Music Production or Pro Tools Basics are recommended if they do not have this experience). They will also need a MIDI keyboard or controller (such as an oxygen 8), a digital audio workstation, such as Pro Tools, and FXpansion Strobe 2 (a free 90-day demo will be provided for Coursera learners in this course). Project-Centered Courses are designed to help learners complete a personally meaningful real-world project, with their instructor and a community of learners with similar goals providing guidance and suggestions along the way. By actively applying new concepts as they learn, they will master the course content more efficiently; they will also get a head start on using the skills they gain to make positive changes in their life and career. When they complete the course, they will have a finished project that they will be proud to use and share.

Course Syllabus

Welcome to Creating Sounds for Electronic Music!

Welcome to your Berklee course! Before you begin the course, we will cover all the details about the course and what you'll need to know to get the most out of your Berklee course.

Creating A Mock Up

This week, we'll start working in Strobe 2 and create a mock up of our song. We will focus on creating drum and bass patches to use in our songs. We'll also go over the form we will be using for our electronic etudes.

Creating Draft 1

This week, we'll look at organ, lead, keys, and arpeggiator patches. We'll start researching and adding these patches to our etudes.

Creating Draft 2

This week, we'll learn about pads, synths, unison, and chord patches. We'll research these patches and add them to our second draft. We'll also take a look at changing something drastic in our etudes.

Creating Draft 3

This week, we'll create our third draft. We'll add special FX and texture to our etudes. We'll also expand on the 40-measure form and begin to develop our musical ideas further.
