TNG, my friend, spend the time and watch the first three episodes flac put together. About 2 minutes into the 3rd episode, lights and fireworks are going to go off in your head, and you are going to GET synthesizers in a deep and visceral way. That's what happened for me. And flac is a fantastic presenter. You don't even need to download Helm... just watch the videos. Watch what he controls, why he controls it, and the logic behind each of the adjustments. It's the same whether it is software or hardware, whether you use Helm, a Moog, or a hand-built synth. Honestly. Flac's content has surprised the shit out of me... great, high quality content, presented well, and at a pace that allows you time to absorb the ideas. He's got a talent.
I did though and it's so much more fun than just watching the videos. It's nice to have it work as a stand alone app for messing around rather than it be controlled through a DAW. I'm already worried ... You don't even need to download Helm
