Student Testimonial:

"Playing with hardware synths is ridiculously fun. It's tactile and instantaneous and it unlocks a different kind of creativity that encourages exploration. I attended Julian's synth school coming from a background of pure software music production. Julian is a great teacher. He provided a thorough explanation of the instrument's parameters and how they interact to create the sounds and presets I've been using in my software for so long."
