The appeal of modular synthesis is, above all else, its flexibility. By allowing users to mix and match the core building blocks of electronic instruments at will, a modular setup can be pretty much anything. Want to recreate the signal path of a classic analogue synth? Create a self-generating ambient patch? Focus just on drums, sequencing or effects processing? Modular does all of this and more.
If you’re new to the modular world, it’s difficult to know where to begin.
