DESIGN YOUR PERFECT SYSTEM
The beauty of modular synthesis is that you can take it in any direction you like. Design your dream setup with our end-to-end guide
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. Sure, some users go for the maximalist approach: buying every module they can lay their hands on, plus a bucketload of extra long patch leads, and creating a behemoth system that can do anything and everything. We wouldn’t necessarily recommend this though: the strain on your finances and living space can lead to divorces and destitution.
