Here's a few files of revision-type material I've been using for pre-exam lessons with my A2s. Hope it might be useful for someone... Good luck on Thursday everyone!

Thanks a lot Branwen, have you got anything else you'd like to share?

Thanks, I had a look on wiki for phase modulation but it never had a definition that was relevant to synthesis

Fingersmith, when does a college receive the exam paper - just out of curiosity


They should have them by now. btw I've just heard on the grapevine that there is an A2 revision guide being written but it wont be out until halfway through next year. Just keep hitting the net guys.
do we really need to know guitar, samplimg and microphone stuff since theyve already asked it?

Well I'm not bothering, dunno about everyone else.
If there were to be a question of 'effects', how would it be worded?
TOMORROW eeeeeee :eek:
really hope synthesis is the 16 marker question!
so stressed for this exam cant get to sleep!

Same, either the development of synthesisers or how they work

Lol that will be of no use, I'll be in uni then, provided I get the grades
So, guesses on the 16 marker?

Mine is either
1) History/development of the synth
2) Development of drum machines
I would have to guess
1) Synths
2) analogue v digital
when can we discuss the exam?
I believe after 4am tomorrow morning. Stupid really. Should be able to discuss what we want (FREE SPEECH)

Lol
i honestly doubt theres some kid in indonesia etc waiting to take his MUSIC TECH EXAM, lol
Funny, isn't there usually a big red message from edexcel telling us to hush hush?
We can discuss away at 4:30AM I believe.
Better set my alarm then (!)
