Why patch with a modular analog synthesizer?
-Custom Sound Playground 🎛️: Design your sonic playground by connecting different modules. Want a thunderous bass or a shimmering pad? You build it, you shape it!

-Infinite Sound Potential 🌌: No presets holding you back. Every patch can be a brand-new sonic creation, limited only by your imagination (and maybe your patch cables).

-Hands-On Heaven 🎚️: Twisting knobs, patching cables, and tweaking parameters gives you a tactile, hands-on experience. It’s like being a mad scientist of sound!

-Happy Accidents 🎶: Modular synths are famous for unexpected, happy accidents. Discover weird, wonderful sounds that you’d never find on a regular synth.

-Build as You Go 🛠️: Start small and expand your synth empire over time. With a modular setup, there’s always room to add that next must-have module.

-Analog Warmth 🔥: Embrace the rich, warm sound that only analog circuitry can deliver. Digital can try, but analog is the OG in creating lush, full tones."

Two Sequencers and a Gate Math Walk Into a Bar... | Modular Synthesizer Tutorial

video upload by synthesizersdotcom

"In modular synthesizers, sequencers and gate math modules work together to create intricate and dynamic musical patterns. Sequencers generate a series of control voltages and gate signals that dictate the pitch, timing, and duration of notes. These signals can then be sent to oscillators, filters, and other sound-modifying modules. Gate math modules, on the other hand, manipulate these gate signals, enabling complex rhythmic patterns through functions like multiplication, division, logic operations, and more. By combining the precise control of sequencers with the rhythmic flexibility of gate math modules, musicians can craft highly dynamic and evolving soundscapes that are both rhythmically and melodically rich.

Join Giulio in our in-depth video to understand:
-How sequencers can work as harps
-How to create random and self-generating patches
-How to use your keyboard as a clock source
-How to use your sequencer as an audio source
