What can you do with modular synths?
Put simply, they combine hardware synths with a patch bay. You can use your synth as it is, and tweak the sound with the available controls, such as a filter cutoff and resonance and so on, or you can start using patch cables to bypass existing connections.
Is modular synth hard?
Learning how to “patch” modular synths isn't difficult – once you grasp how they work on the inside, and know what each module is doing to the signal flowing through it. Fortuantely, this knowledge can be learned in just a few hours, and will cost you less than most modules.
What is the point of modular synths?
The basic point of modular synths is this: you decide everything. The modules are the discrete parts that you choose and arrange according to your own tastes: filters, oscillators, mixers, ring modulators, envelopes. This modularity, this flexibility, is very different from non‑modular systems.
What is the rarest synthesizer?
Two longtime friends, passionate about synthesizers, musicians and technicians, have accomplished a feat deemed impossible. They have completely restored the rarest Italian synthesizer, the MCS70 designed by Mario Maggi, just him ... the father of Elka Synthex.
