Description: One of the most exciting areas of music creation is modular synthesis, where you need to connect the fundamental building blocks of a synthesizer to create your own instrument. In this course, music industry veteran and synthesizer designer Chris Meyer uses Arturia Modular V—a realistic emulation of the original Moog modular synthesizer from the 1960s and 1970s—to teach you how to create modular synthesizer patches to create your own sounds. Chris begins with the basics of how harmonics and sound work, as well as how to connect modules. He then examines the main modules individually, explaining the differences between waveforms, filter types, and then demonstrates how to use them in a musical context. Part three covers advanced approaches such as frequency and amplitude modulation, as well as how to use effects and advanced filters in Arturia’s Modular V. Description: One of the most exciting areas of music creation is modular synthesis, where you get to interconnect the fundamental building blocks of a synthesizer to create your own instrument. In this course, music industry veteran and synth designer Chris Meyer uses the Arturia Modular V software—a realistic emulation of the original Moog modular synths of the 1960s and 1970s—to teach you how to “patch” a modular synth to create your own sounds. Chris starts with the fundamentals of how harmonics and sound work, as well as how to connect the modules together. He then goes through the main modules individually, explaining the differences between oscillator waveforms, filter types, and more, while demonstrating how to use them in a musical context. The third chapter teaches advanced techniques such as frequency and amplitude modulation, as well as using the effects and advanced filters in Arturia Modular V.
