BASICS OF SYNTHESIZER PLAY
The After Dark was designed to be used right out of the box, without any prior knowledge of synthesizers. But
knowing a few key controls will help you get started with making interesting sounds.
The most important of these is the SEQ which stands for sequencer. A sequencer creates the notes or melodies and
is the best place for you to start. Click the SEQ button until you nd a melody you like. The After Dark will continue to
play the melody until you click it again. You may also notice that every other melody includes a drum beat.
Once you have your melody selected, you are ready to start sculpting your rst sounds using the other controls
outlined below.
