Have you ever wondered how to recreate the gurgling squelch of Daft Punk's Da Funk or the haunting staccato of Kraftwerk's The Model? Well wonder no more! Roland is hosting a series of synthesizer masterclasses at Andertons, exposing the tricks of the trade and teaching synth aficionados how to recreate classic sounds from 15 genre-defining songs.

The workshops are taking place on 17th, 18th, 20th, 21st and 22nd of September at Andertons - and everyone is welcome!

Whether you're in the market for a new synth or you've already got a studio full of tech at home, this is the perfect opportunity to get under the hood of some top Roland synthersizers and learn how to make a diverse collection of the best synth sounds ever!

What's more, our experts will be on hand to answer your questions so you can leave with a solid knowledge of synthesis and sound creation. In addition to this we will give each of those who attend an exclusive Exploring Sound iBook, a series of lessons in the science of sound with hints and tips showing you how to get the best out of your hardware or soft synthesizer.

All you need to do is pick a couple of these fantastic tunes and contact our expert demonstrator, Kevin Jubb, to arrange a 1-2-1 demonstration on building the sounds from scratch. Oh, and be sure to ask about the free Exploring Sound iBook!
