My advice on synth programming is this:
You have to be naturally inquisitive. You need to be one of those people who gets enjoyment out of experimenting and programming. For me, its one of the greatest pleasures in life. I started off back in 2000 with a Sequential Pro-One. I spent about two years programming it and learning what oscilators, LFO's and filters do. I then 'moved up' to a Jupiter 8 and Juno 60. Once I learned how to program polyphonic sounds....I then moved upto a Virus KC. The Virus will help you greatly on your quest to become a great programmer. You must accept that it takes time. Id say its only now (after 5 yrs of programming) that im beginning to reach a level of consistently great, useable sounds. The journey is not a particularly fast one....but once you start to get there magical things start to happen. Get your hands dirty and dive in. You will learn more in 6 months of intensive programming time than you ever will from a book. If you want specific tips.....just ask. DS

thanks for the advice guys...yeah im not a complete beginner im just trying to get better....so the general consesus is spend a lot of time on your synth...check. So while im spending time what should i be doing besides playing with preset sounds? Should i try to imitate a piano sound...or a fog horn or somethin like that?
by the way dont get me wrong...ive spent tons of time programming my triton and ive made about 100 patches for it...out of which 20 are really really cool....im just looking for more guidance...thanks.

One thing that I found really educational was to try to programme sounds from popular songs. It takes time obviously, but is a good method of improving your skills.
