A comment on Learning Synths. Parent comment
Do you mean compose music with a sequencer or DAW like ableton?
Or, read and play sheet music using a keyboard to control the synthesizer itself?
The synthesizer and it’s means of control being separate make it a little different from traditional acoustic instruments.
But, no musician ever went wrong by learning to play piano and/or taking lessons.
Also, no musician ever went wrong by listening to the music they loved and trying to imitate it on their own.
Lastly, it helps to be around other people playing or making music.
