1. EigenD : Modular Synth (part 1)

"The first of a series of videos where I show how to use EigenD as a modular synth.
In this part, I cover all the basics from a blank setup, attaching a controller, a single oscillator and a ladder filter, all with individual note modulation.

if you follow the video, add a vst reverb to the result (see my VST video for how), and you will be surprised how good it sounds... I'll add that native reverb in the next part!

In future parts we will be adding more oscillator, modulation, fx.. a true modular synth, all for free :o)"

2. EigenD : Modular Synth (part 2)

"Published on Dec 18, 2014
In part 2, we move on from a very basic synth to something with a bit more 'body', initially by adding the EigenD convolution reverb agent,
then adding a second oscillator, which we then control the detune 'per note'.
Finally, we attach the ladder filter to a global strip controller.
Doing the above, we learn about the important 'ranger' agent, and also get an introduction into connection channels.

At this stage we can already start to hear, how even simple patches being controlled with individual key control can become expressive, as the player can create the movement, so often 'automatically' done in synthesisers with LFOs and envelope, here we bring the musician back into that equation.

The impulse responses mentioned in this video are Diego Stocco's Rhythmic Convolutions - available here: http://www.diegostocco.com/ffs-rhythm...

(Check out his FFS series, I really enjoyed watching them)"

3. EigenD : Modular Synth (part 3)

"In Part 3 I introduce a sub oscillator,
how to create an LFO and use it for pulse width modulation, and the use of AHDSR envelopes.

This should give the users all the tools need to get started.
Now the basics are out the way, the series will move on to tips and tricks, and also exploring some more complex setups which use these (and other) components in interesting ways.

they will released every 3-4 weeks, as and when Ive something interesting to show
If you have ideas/suggestions of what you would like to see let me know.
