From the outside, though, it looks pretty confusing&#8230;Even understanding the basics can take a while if you don&#8217;t know where to start. Luckily, we can break down modular synthesis into its major parts and hopefully make it a little less mysterious!<\/p>\n<h4>What is Modular Synthesis?<\/h4>\n<p>You&#8217;ve probably seen what looks like an extremely complex wall of knobs, switches, and lights, with cables running all over the place. If you can picture that, then you&#8217;ve seen modular synthesizers at work.<\/p>\n<p>As the name suggests, these types of synthesizers are all individual modules. Modules are one part of a synthesizer, and each one serves a specific purpose. Some units are oscillators, others are filters, some are sequencers, etc.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44681 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2.jpg\" alt=\"Modular Synthesis- The Most Powerful Synthesizers Ever_2\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-227x170.jpg 227w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-40x30.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-20x15.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-808x606.jpg 808w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-453x340.jpg 453w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-13x10.jpg 13w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-12x9.jpg 12w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_2-385x289.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Modular synthesizers&#8217; greatest flexibility comes from the fact that users create the <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/signal-flow\/\">signal flow<\/a>. In a typical keyboard synthesizer, for example, everything is hardwired in a certain order to create the sounds it does.<\/p>\n<p>With modular synths, you have total control over what happens and where by connecting modules yourself.\u00a0Modules aren&#8217;t hardwired together, but can be connected with patch cords, a matrix patching system, or switches by the user to create a custom\u00a0patch. The possibilities are practically endless.<\/p>\n<h4>Common Types of Modules<\/h4>\n<p>Most modules fall into one of two categories: sources or processors. Sources have an output, but not an input. Processors have both an input and an output.\u00a0<sup id=\"cite_ref-1\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup><\/p>\n<h5>Sources<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>VCO<\/strong> \u2013 Voltage-controlled oscillator\u00a0which outputs a frequency chosen by the settings. This could be a basic simple\u00a0waveform\u00a0(most usually a square wave or a sawtooth wave, but also a pulse, triangle, or sine wave).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Noise source<\/strong> &#8211; \u00a0Outputs a random voltage for noise creation, such as\u00a0white, pink, or\u00a0low frequency noise.<\/li>\n<li><strong>LFO<\/strong> &#8211; A low-frequency oscillator\u00a0generally used as a control voltage for another module. For example, modulating a VCO will produce frequency modulation, and may create vibrato, while modulating a VCA will produce amplitude modulation, and may create tremolo, depending on the control frequency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>EG<\/strong> &#8211; Envelope generators allow you to control the ADRS (attack, decay, sustain, and release) of a signal. ADSR lets you change the timing of your synth, like a gradually fading in sound or a sharp staccato.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Processors<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>VCF<\/strong> &#8211; A voltage-controlled\u00a0high-pass, low-pass, or band-pass filter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>VCA<\/strong> &#8211; A voltage-controlled amplifier which\u00a0is usually a unity-gain amplifier which varies the amplitude of a signal in response to an applied control voltage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>RM<\/strong> &#8211; A ring modulator which mixes\u00a0two input signals to create sum and difference frequencies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mixer<\/strong> &#8211; An easy way to control the volume of your synth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Slew Limiter<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Usually a sub-audio low-pass filter. When patched into an oscillator, this can be used to create glide or portamento between frequencies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are plenty of other module types available, but these are some of the most common. In fact, you&#8217;re probably already familiar with a lot of these because they operate on basic audio principles, such as filtering or level control using a mixer.<\/p>\n<h4>Free Software Modular Synthesizers<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44682 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_3.png\" alt=\"Modular Synthesis- The Most Powerful Synthesizers Ever_3\" width=\"700\" height=\"329\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_3.png 700w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_3-600x282.png 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_3-80x38.png 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_3-320x150.png 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_3-40x19.png 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_3-160x75.png 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_3-20x9.png 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_3-640x301.png 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_3-638x300.png 638w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Modular-Synthesis-The-Most-Powerful-Synthesizers-Ever_3-385x181.png 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For the most part, modular synthesis still lives in the hardware domain.
