The One Aspect in Modular Synthesis I Can’t Get Over
When it comes to modular synthesis, plenty of aspects make it up. The possibilities almost feel limitless, from experimenting and creating new sounds to building generative beats. However, whenever I delve deeper into modular synthesis, one aspect rears its head towards me the most.
Every modular synth setup is unique.
I don’t know why, but I can never let that fact and idea go. I don’t simply mean in terms of buying different modules, either.
It doesn’t matter how many modular setups I see; each one is unique in its own way, and that’s fascinating to me. The idea that you can create something no one else has is gratifying.
Not only can you build the system from scratch, but you can also build your own ideal workflow.
With every cable you pull and every knob you twist, there’s almost no one else in the world that does it the same way you do. Your system, your workflow, your modules, and the way you set them up are entirely your own.
And for some individuals, there’s almost an innate desire to set themselves apart from the crowd, a desire to be something new and fresh in the face of overwhelming similarities.
And that’s what makes modular so cool. It’s the idea of being unique, taken, and expressed through the form of music and sound exploration.
