I was in the music shop with my son who’s just done grade 1 drums and grade 1 piano. He spent quite a while playing with some of the synths on display (Prophets), and seemed interested when I said we might be able to do something similar at home.
Unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about synths, having stuck to standard piano. I have various MIDI control surfaces with knobs and sliders and keys that I can hook up to a vst, to give some hardware control.
Any suggestions on something I can spin up at home for him as a 1st intro to sound creation, and some kid-friendly online tutorials? We have PCs, android tablets and an ipad. Ideally free or very low cost at this stage.
Cheers
