To prepare a synth programming project with Synthlaab, share your instrument list, DAW and session sample rate, sound references, and any existing patches or stems. Explain the sound's role and what you need to receive. This gives the team context to review scope, revisions and delivery format before work begins.

1. Describe the instrument and session

Include the synth or digital instrument name and model, its version if known, and your DAW. Add the session sample rate and any routing notes that explain your setup. These details support a compatibility review; they do not mean every instrument or format is interchangeable.

2. Explain the patch's job

Describe its role: bass, lead, pad, texture or another part of the project. Say whether you need it for recording, performance or an audio asset. If you need performance controls, explain what each macro or modulation should change. A specific use is more useful than asking only for a «big» or «analog» sound.

3. Add context to your references

Share links and identify the moments you want to discuss. Explain what matters: the attack, movement, texture or relationship with other instruments. If you have a starting patch or recording, share it through the agreed channel and describe what to keep and what to change. Supply only material you have the right to use.

4. Define what you need to receive

An editable preset and an audio recording are different deliverables. Say which you need and where you will use it. Depending on the agreed scope, delivery may include preset banks, rendered audio, stems or technical notes for recall. For audio review, Synthlaab prefers consolidated 24-bit WAV stems; confirm your project's specifications before exporting.

A short request checklist

  • Instrument, model and known version.
  • DAW, sample rate and session notes.
  • The sound's role and controls you need.
  • Reference links with specific moments.
  • Existing patches or stems and requested changes.
  • Delivery format and target date.

What is confirmed next

Scope, instrument count, revision depth and deliverables determine the schedule. Your target date helps the team assess the project; turnaround is confirmed after review. You do not need every decision settled in advance: identify the questions you want that conversation to resolve.
