Our Design, Main Concepts
For our project we plan to make a manual that will help get
music producers on their feet and running.
● Hands on ebook that can be downloaded and accessed from
your computer
● Will teach basics of synthesizing for all synths.
● Hands on intro to Fl Studio, focussing on plugin “3x
Osc” and intro to midi specific to program.
● No experience necessary, we’ll stay away from big words
and supply complete step by step instructions with
screenshots from Fl Studio.
Why do we Need a Syntheplier?
Getting yourself to start making music is a big
commitment. Buying a program is costly, so most people try
the demo to see if they like it. After downloading, they
open it and are presented with this:

For a lot of people, this is enough to make them accept

encourage you to take a deep breath, open her up in a new
tab, and start reading.
Lab Report
We wanted to understand how intuitive Fl Studio was to
people who haven’t seen it before. To do this, we
conducted an experiment where we presented a group of
volunteers with a blank Fl Studio project and asked them a
series of simple questions for them to try to figure out.
The questions are shown below.

8. Can you show me the ASDR window?
1. Can you produce a sound? (pressing piano key)
9. Can you make the sine wobble in any way?
2. Can you play different notes? (play different
