At long last, a Surge XT tutorial!

I know guys, I've been sleeping on Surge XT for far too long. Well, not any longer! Not only does this synth sound amazing, but once you get into it, it's really fun to work with. I'm super impressed! I have a feeling that this synth is going to get featured a LOT more often. Best of all? It's totally free. Unreal!

Here are a few patches I whipped up to get you excited for what the future of S1gns Of L1fe and Surge XT would sound like. Drop them in your user folder and they should load right up!

Cheers, enjoy and thank you for supporting me on Patreon!

I feel the same as you. I have never used Surge (XT) before. I didn't expect it to be so powerful. I look forward to more content on this.

One of the lovely things about Surge XT is that the developers have worked closely with blind musicians to make the vast majority of the UI accessible. I use it in Reaper, and other than MSEG envelopes, I haven't found anything I wanted to do that I couldn't. I don't knw if y'all understand how amazing and emotionally moving it is to be able to play with my sighted peers on an equal footing for a change.

Christopher Bartlett

I had concluded you weren't doing much with Surge, but decided to join up anyway on the strength of the youtube content you put out. Imagine my excitement now to learn that you're coming to my home territory from time to time.

I've grabbed your presets, though honestly, with the wealth of presets that ships with Surge XT, it's almost faster to design a patch than find one for a given application.

would be great to see more content with this synth, its appearance tends to put me off using it which is a shame
