Modular synthesizers

Modular Synthesizers are not only a sight to behold but fascinating instruments capable of producing unique sounds that people have never heard before. Now that you’ve mastered oscillators and filters (covered in Synth 101) and modulation and envelopes (covered in Synth 102), it’s time to dive deeper as Andrew Scheps explains the world of Modular Synthesis.

In this tutorial Andrew demonstrates how to:

• Build a simple synthesizer
• Use control voltages and audio to shape patches
• Use an oscillator as a clock
• Build a theremin
• Create a droning patch

After you finish the video, we recommend checking out the free, open source Modular software synthesizer, VCVRack and applying what you have learned!
