I don\u2019t really know anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know they make noise and I know that you can change sounds, but there are so many buttons that I always just get overwhelmed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>It all started with a loan&#8230;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A few months ago <a href=\"https:\/\/imp.i114863.net\/YgDAjK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roland lent me a super-awesome and retro-cool KEYTAR<\/a>!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B2xSBLOA02p\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/pianote.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/2020\/Swimming%20in%20Synths%20%28VLOG%29\/rsz_keytar.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And while I might look like I know what I\u2019m doing, I really have no idea&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I knew that needed to change, and I&#8217;m not one to read an instruction manual. So I needed to find someone to show me how it works. Luckily, I have found a new friend who agreed to teach me about synthesizers in a way that I (and anyone) could understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, without further ado, let me introduce&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>Mr. Tuna!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mr_tuna_music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/pianote.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/2020\/Swimming%20in%20Synths%20%28VLOG%29\/mr_tuna.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Tuna has what can only be described as an arsenal of synths, and I was lucky to get a chance to see how he uses them to create really cool loops and songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I even got to create one of my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what I loved most was his passion for synths, music, and learning. And how willing and generous he was to show a total newbie (me!) how to start creating really unique and cool sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you enjoy the VLOG and if you have any questions for Mr. Tuna you can find him on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mr_tuna_music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*This article contains affiliate links, which means we might earn a small commission from the product seller if you make a purchase.
