Hi im new to this forum as well as PD itself.I am currently assigned to reproduce the synthesizer Korg ms -10..The thing is i am a beginner in PD and dont even know how to start..can anyone give me some guidelines on the subject...Like where to start off and how to approach this issue?? thanks in advance

If you understand the basics of synthesis - which i assume you do - it won't be too hard to build a synth which has the same kind of architecture as an MS10 (although the patching could be tricky). Looking at/studying miller's synth in the pd help (browser -> 7.stuff -> synth -> 1.poly.synth.pd) will give you a good idea of how to start on this one.

However, if you're looking after an exact recreation of the ms10 sound, then you should talk to some guru's who know how the filters and oscillators of the original work, and i guess you're in for quite some fun.

Some quick tips to get you started :

For oscillators and lfo's look at [osc~] [phasor~] and [noise~] objects
For envelopes look at [line~] and [vline~] and if on linux/mac [ead~]
For filters look at [lop~] [hip~] [vcf~]

Right-clicking on an object will let you open the associated help file. These often contain links to many more related objects.

Hope this helps (a little),

Domien
