# Project 2 (synthesis)

Learning objective = get a good feel for recording/editing MIDI and working with virtual instruments

Create a 10-20 second "fanfare" using at minimum:

* Helm [subtractive synthesizer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyXVcasmq78) = <https://tytel.org/helm/>
* any other synthesizer you want (additive, wavetable, etc. ... even including samplers)

Concentrate your time understanding how to record and edit (and even generate) MIDI data.
