"Create sound > Alter its sonic qualities > Automate the sonic alterations"
That's all a synthesizer really does! I know a lot of synth manufacturers like to create complex-sounding technologies, but that's just marketing tactics. Fear no more.
Just learn to find these three basic components and you will be able to manoeuvre your way around any hardware and software synth. The rest is just more subtle ways to achieve the basic formula highlighted in bold.
Fire those presets away!
P.S. This oversimplification will sound like synth heresy to some. I care not. The keepers of the grail always hid the truth behind parables and metaphors. Heads up: the truth is always staring you in the eye. The grail was always inside of you to begin with.

Did you search online for ways to make it as a full-time music producer? Do you find yourself always being sold a marketing course? If you’re like I was at the beginning of my career, you want to focus on what you’re passionate about: music.
I studied, got degrees, got safe jobs, but all the while, my inner voice asked me to please, PLEASE follow my passion for music. The problem is I half-assed it for a very LONG time.
