This synthesis tutorial, Alesis Andromeda Atonal Synthesis, is pretty strange, but it’s full of great sounds and interesting information.

via JeffreyPlaide:

This instructional video explores atonal synthesis using the amazing Alesis Andromeda analogue synthesizer.

We can investigate atonal applications for sound synthesis and with some background theory, understand how to create ambient pads and ringing atmospherics and similar sonic combinations. Analogue synthesis can create atonal and ringing timbres that can be played to bring about dissonance and clangourous combinations that can be used to create atonal musical sequences and special effects including background atmospherics and pads.

This video captures a synth patch trying to model a plucked string.

The setup is MFB Osc-2 into LPG (both mode) into A-188-1 BBD into another LPG (Filter only, to get rid of the BBD clock bleeding through). Pitch of the Osc and Delay clock of the BBD is sequenced by the MAQ16/3. A bit of reverb is added.
