All parts here

"Looking to get into modular synthesizers, or just curious how they work? Join me in this video where we go back to the basics with an introduction to modular synthesis. In part one of this three part series we will talk about the main building block of modular synthesis, control voltage. Breaking control voltage down to it's most basic 5 types: LFOs, Stepped Voltage, Triggers, Gates, and Envelopes.
