# Synths
|
|
|
|
For now, [samples](/learn/samples) are the main way to play with Strudel.
|
|
In the future, more powerful synthesis capabilities will be added.
|
|
If in the meantime you want to dive deeper into audio synthesis with Tidal, you will need to [install SuperCollider and SuperDirt](https://tidalcycles.org/docs/).

|
## Playing synths with `s`
|
|
|
|
We can change the sound, using the `s` function:
|
|
|
|
<MiniRepl client:idle tune={`note("c2 <eb2 <g2 g1>>").s('sawtooth')`} />
|
|
|
|
Here, we are wrapping our notes inside `note` and set the sound using `s`, connected by a dot.
|
|
|
|
Those functions are only 2 of many ways to alter the properties, or _params_ of a sound.
|
|
The power of patterns allows us to sequence any _param_ independently:
|
|
|
|
<MiniRepl client:idle tune={`note("c2 <eb2 <g2 g1>>").s("<sawtooth square triangle>")`} />
|
|
|
|
Now we not only pattern the notes, but the sound as well!
|
|
`sawtooth` `square` and `triangle` are the basic waveforms available in `s`.
