Description: Do you have a small modular or semi-modular synthesizer, and you are wondering: what else needs to be added to expand the system’s capabilities? And how can I get the most out of what I buy? In this extensive synth designer course, Chris Meyer reveals important utilities or modules needed to extend a base system such as the Moog Mother-32, and then explores the wide range of modules available in the eurorec modular synth format. Description: You have a small core modular or semi-modular synth, and you’re wondering: What should I add next to grow the capabilities of my system? And how can I get the most out of what I buy? In this extensive course, synth designer Chris Meyer reveals the important utility or “glue” modules you need to expand a core system such as a Moog Mother-32, and then explores a selection of the wide range of modules available in the Eurorack modular synthesizer format.
