Frequency Lite

Make your first sound. Follow your ears.

Free starting point · Explore the current browser beta

Ever listened to a synth sound and wondered what happens when you turn the knobs? This is your invitation to find out. Start in your browser, play a few notes and hear how a small change can transform their character.

What you can do

• Open Frequency on this site and explore the current beta without buying a pack.
• Play a note, change the tone and hear the result immediately — no music theory needed to begin.
• Use the beginner guide to understand unfamiliar controls at your own pace.
• Decide whether making sounds is for you before considering a paid lesson or the planned Pro release.

Who is it for?

For curious listeners and complete beginners who want a hands-on introduction.

Your first step

Open the lab, choose a starting sound and play one note. Move one control slowly. Listen for what changes, then try another sound.

The free entry currently opens the shared Frequency beta. A separate finished Lite feature set has not yet been released. The £29.99 Pro price is a future release plan, not a charge for trying the current beta.

Album Masterclass

Hear more in a record you already love.

£8.99 planned price · In development

You do not need a studio full of equipment to be curious about how a record works. Each planned masterclass takes one album as a starting point, explains the production ideas in everyday language and gives you a way to explore them yourself.

What is planned for your download

• A readable PDF lesson: follow the sounds, rhythms and arrangement choices without getting lost in technical language.
• Original practice MIDI: editable musical notes you can open in compatible music software, change and make your own.
• Sound recipes: step-by-step settings that explain how to build a texture, rather than asking you to guess what every control does.
• An audio demonstration: hear an example of the idea the lesson is explaining.

Who is it for?

For curious fans and first-time music makers who want one focused place to start.

Your first step

Read the lesson, listen to the example, then change a sound or a few notes. The aim is to understand one idea well enough to try it in your own music.

You can read and listen without making music. The MIDI exercises need compatible music software. Exact requirements and contents will be listed before release. These are independent studies with original examples, not the band’s recordings or session files.

Producer Edition

Turn a sound you love into a technique you can use.

£15–£19 planned price · In development

How do you make a rhythm feel mechanical, a bass line feel heavy or a simple sound feel full of movement? The Producer Editions are planned as deeper, practical explorations of an era or technique — with enough explanation to understand the choices you are making.

What is planned for your download

• A longer illustrated guide: work through a subject in more depth, at your own pace.
• Sound-design exercises: shape individual sounds and hear how small changes affect the result.
• Original MIDI examples: inspect and edit musical patterns instead of starting from an empty screen.
• Focused production tasks: practise an idea, change it and use what you learn in your own work.

Who is it for?

For beginners ready for a next step, and home producers who prefer learning by trying.

Your first step

Choose a technique, follow one exercise, then make a second version with your own choices. Build confidence by understanding why it sounds different.

Each edition will have its own confirmed contents, software requirements and price within the planned range. No specialist software is included. Downloads are still being developed and are not available to buy yet.

Frequency

Your next musical idea could start with one key.

£29.99 planned release price · Try the current beta

You do not have to know what an oscillator is before you make a sound you like. Frequency is a playable browser instrument: start with a sound world, press a key, then move a control and hear what changes.

What you can explore in the current beta

• Twelve sound worlds: choose a starting character and make it your own.
• A two-octave keyboard: play individual notes and explore a melody.
• Live sound controls: shape the tone as you play and hear the difference immediately.
• A 16-step sequencer: arrange a repeating pattern, then change it while you experiment.
• Recording and MIDI export tools: capture an idea or take its note pattern into compatible music software.
• A beginner guide: get help with what the controls mean and what to try next.

Who is it for?

For fans who want to have a go, curious beginners and music makers looking for somewhere to sketch an idea.

Your first step

Pick a sound, play a few notes and turn one control. Once you find something you like, try a short repeating pattern. You can start exploring before learning the terminology.

The current instrument is a beta and is still being tested. Recording and export depend on browser support. £29.99 is the planned finished-product price; the paid version is not on sale yet.

Master Box Set

Keep following your curiosity.

£99 planned price · Collection in development

One question about a sound often leads to another. The planned Master Box Set brings the 28-volume production series together, so you can move from the basics to album studies, live systems and more adventurous electronic techniques.

The planned collection

• Seven foundation volumes: get to grips with the sounds and production ideas that give electronic music its character.
• Seven deeper studies: explore live performance, archive-inspired textures, acoustic and electronic combinations, and spatial sound.
• Ten album masterclasses: focused studies ranging from Black Celebration and Violator to Spirit and Memento Mori.
• Four further explorations: unfinished-demo aesthetics and studies of Recoil, Martin Gore’s electronic work, and Dave Gahan with Soulsavers.

Inside the 28-volume roadmap

These are the planned subjects. Each is intended to explain an idea, show how it sounds and give you a way to explore it. The final file list will be published before the collection goes on sale.

01–07 · Build your foundations

1. Synth-Pop Foundations — discover how a few electronic parts can work together as a song.
2. Industrial & Sampling Toolkit — explore turning original recorded noises into musical textures.
3. Dark Synth-Pop & Analog Peak — investigate weight, warmth and movement in synth sounds.
4. Alt-Rock & Blues-Synth Fusion — explore how electronic parts can sit alongside a rougher band sound.
5. Modern Digital Minimalist — learn what to leave out so each sound has room.
6. Analogue Renaissance — explore the appeal of evolving, imperfect electronic tones.
7. Stems & Masterclass Anthology — study how separate original practice parts fit into a bigger arrangement.

08–14 · Build a bigger sound world

15–24 · Follow the albums

Ten planned masterclasses: Violator, Songs of Faith and Devotion, Ultra, Black Celebration, Music for the Masses, Playing the Angel, Sounds of the Universe, Delta Machine, Spirit and Memento Mori. Each uses the album as a listening reference for an independent production study, with original teaching examples.

25–28 · Take the less obvious route

25. Vault / Unfinished-Demo Aesthetics — explore the character of ideas before they are polished.
26. Recoil Production Study — investigate atmosphere and experimental electronic storytelling.
27. Martin Gore Solo Electronic Study — explore instrumental electronic ideas and textures.
28. Dave Gahan & Soulsavers Study — explore the relationship between a voice and its musical surroundings.

What will the download contain?

The plan is a collection of readable digital manuals, supported by original practice material appropriate to each subject. Final PDF, MIDI and audio contents will be itemised before purchase. This is a digital collection; there is no physical box.

What do I need?

You can read the guides and listen to examples as a fan. To edit MIDI or complete production exercises, you will need compatible music software. Required software and any costs will be stated before release; third-party software and Frequency are not included.

Who is it for?

For the devoted listener or developing producer who wants a broad collection to return to, rather than a single lesson.

Your first step

Start with an album you love, follow a technique into a foundation lesson, then revisit it with fresh ears. Read in order or follow the questions that interest you.

The £99 offer is planned for the completed 28-volume series. Final practice-file contents and requirements will be confirmed before sale. Frequency is a separate product; its licence is not included in this planned box set. Nothing is available to purchase until the collection is complete.
