I'm have a good grasp of basic synthesis but need to make some sounds synthetically quite quickly for a project, and am not sure where to start
It is a the cracking and creaking as a tree or large wooden object falls..
Any advice appreciated!

Why does it need to be synthesized? Can't you just go out and record some actual source?– Jay JenningsAug 17, 2018 at 21:43

Hi Jay. I'm trying to add some modernity to a record that is pretty much all live instruments. The thinking is that by a synthesizing all the effects that go with the video, it will add something 'stylised' and different. I had thought of taking samples and using digital filtering, vocoding and/or other manipulation. that would probably be a lot easier but not the same.– philthegreekAug 17, 2018 at 23:22

Sounds like a challenge - good luck.– Jay JenningsAug 18, 2018 at 0:04

Have a look at this:
Creating a synthesised rim shot-like sound is easy, now play with pitch and this "exponential rhythm" idea/technique. You should be on the good way.
I used Odin 2 (a free VST) and used the Drum sounds there (specifically hihat and snare) of which I changed the lowpass filter.
Also I used an equalizer to add mid frequencies
Then I added a reverb and limiter Also I added a noice and filtered it so one can hear the mids at the beginning, the lows in the middle and the highs at the end.
here is a short video of it:
