the ground noiseIf you’re interested in learning more about modular synthesizers, the entry step is very low nowadays.
While a “real life” analog Eurorack System is very expensive, there is a virtual version available that runs in the DAW like any other VST-Instrument. It’s called VCV Rack and was developed as Open Source Software.
So another group of developers (DISTHRO) made their own version of it and here we go: Cardinal Synth is 100% free and gives you over 1000 Modules to play with!
In the virtual modular synth Cardinal with its 1000+ Free Modules, it’s very easy to go all in and create enormous patches that would be almost impossible to build in the “real” Eurorack World, where your wallet sets the limit very quickly.
Not to mention the hidden beauty that often can be found in minimal sounds.
So i’ve made a video on how to make a simple modular ambient drone with only 3 Modules – all virtual versions of famous hardware modules by Mutable Instruments.
