I can recommend them all, and be prepared to be amazed :O
http://www.youtube.com/user/zynaddsubfx Too bad they're not a format that can
be kept handy and readily referred
to as desired - like text? Oh, that's right, nobody knows how to read
anymore.

Are you serious?
The guy who designed this synth, putting an enormous amount of work
into it, and now has gone to even more effort to produce these
tutorials, happens to be Romanian. What language would you like the
text to be in? Maybe you could go over there and, at your own expense,
give him lessons in the dialect of your choice.
Text can be translated very easily, doesn't have to be done by the
person doing the speaking. Once it's done, it's done - the translation
is always available. But anything spoken/recorded in one language needs
to be interpreted by someone else every time someone who doesn't speak
the presenter's language. The only way around that is for multiple
versions of the video,
Also, I'd be extremely interested to hear your
thoughts about how to
demonstrate a *sound* as text.
Sounds can be demonstrated quite easily via the same web that we use to
watch YouTube vids ... a simple link on a text page is sufficient for that.
Sheesh. The stuff is free in every sense of the word
and all you can do
is complain.
Free or fee, the silly belief that learning is best done via video is
something I complain about. And I used to do technology training for a
living, so I know about the strengths/weaknesses of the various ways of
delivering training.
My only small request with Zyn would be he somehow find a way to fix its
ability to just freeze up, quite responding, and turn into a zombie ...
