Course For Rounds 101

Matt Cellitti is back with a deep dive into Native Instruments’ Rounds. Watch this course and see how this Komplete killer synth creates worlds of sounds that you just can’t make anywhere else!

Rounds is both a synth and morphing sequencer and the DNA of these two are so intertwined that it actually represents a complete paradigm shift in the way we think about sound design. Matt teaches you all about Rounds’ advanced sound engines that span the spectrum from analog subtractive synthesis to digital FM (frequency modulation) architecture.

But that’s just a part of the Rounds story. The second half of this must-watch course explains Rounds' unique and adventurous voice programmer. It is here that maestro Cellitti explains how to program and perform using Rounds’ 32 sound slots to morph, expand, modulate and destroy this synth's collection of filters, processors and much more.

It always amazes us to see what cool things synth designers can construct using the Reaktor platform. Rounds, by the sonic geniuses at Native Instruments, is no exception. As you complete this course we know that your imagination will be sparked by the creative possibilities of this amazing synth. So sit back and learn Native Instruments Rounds from expert trainer Matt Celiitti!
