	Modular synthesizer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The modular synthesizer is a type of synthesizer consisting of separate modules which must be connected by wires to create a so-called patch.
		Modular synthesizers were largely replaced by highly integrated keyboard synthesizers, racks of MIDI-connected gear, and samplers.
		The first modular synthesizer was the Moog modular synthesizer, which was created in 1963.

	Moog modular synthesizer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Moog modular synthesizer refers to any of a number of monophonic analog modular synthesizers designed by the late electronic instrument pioneer Dr. Robert Moog and manufactured by R.A Moog Co. (Moog Music after 1972) from about 1963 until 1981.
		The Moog modular synthesizer is considered by enthusiasts to be the original and definitive synthesizer.
		Although digital synthesizers and samplers are generally more user friendly than a modular synthesizer and available at a fraction of the price that it would take to acquire and maintain a modular system, modular Moogs continue to be valued by collectors and musicians alike.

	KVR : WIKI: Modular Synthesizer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		The modular synthesizer is a type of synthesizer which consists of a set of separate 'units' which generate or process audio or control information, but has no fixed connections or routing between those units.
		With analog modulars, this is often as easy as patching an extra cable, and, despite the fact that there are some differences in the type of sockets used for the connections, and that the standard for control voltages sometimes differs, using modules from completely different systems together is entirely feasible.
		The earliest analog synthesisers were modular, from such manufacturers as Moog and Buchla, and primarily sold to the experimental and academic markets.

	ModularOverview
		Modular During late 1972 Dave and Scott worked on building a set of analog synthesizer circuits and a monophonic keyboard for a new totally modular synthesizer.
		Users The Eµ Modular was initially aimed at experimenters and hobbyists, but universities and high profile studios around the US became the key customer base.
		The modular system was conceived as an optimum general purpose studio unit, also usable in sophisticated live performance".

	SYNTHESIS TECHNOLOGY MOTM SYNTHESIZER--A Modular Analog Synthesizer That Surpasses All Expectations
		Whereas a MIDI-controlled synthesizer, by its nature, operates in terms of discrete note events, a modular synth works from a continuum: sound is created by complex swings in voltage and the interacting patterns of clocks and switches.
		A patch on a modular synth is an environment for inflection and nuance: a living and changing entity far removed from the preset mentality brought on by recent keyboard developments.
		A modular synth can be integrated into the modern studio in ways that were not possible during the instrument’s heyday.

	Synthmuseum.com - Moog : Modular Moog
		The first synthesizers were modular, in that they were a group of modules that each performed a separate function.
		For the amplifier, the higher the control voltage, the larger the amplitude of the waveform was, and therefor the volume of the sound.
		Although each modular system was available custom configured, there were many stock design models of the Moog modular synthesizer.

	The Moog Synthesizer
		This page mainly describes the UCSC Modular Moog, one that is on the small side, but is representative of most studio machines.
		Unlike many other synthesizers, the signal outputs of each Moog module are of appropriate level to connect directly to other audio equipment.
		Sample and hold was never a Moog thing, it was first found on Buchla synthesizers and then on just about every second generation system.

		The VAZ is basically an analog modular synthesizer, or more correctly said, a software emulation of such a synthesizer.
		Well, it can be made to sound like a really old and classic vintage synthesizer with screaming resonance, crackling "moogesque" filter sweeps and some extremely hard-to-place and unusual sound effects.
		It can either be played as a regular synthesizer from a keyboard, or it can be controlled from MIDI software such as Cubase or Cakewalk.

	ARTURIA Moog Modular V 1.1 software synthesizer review
		Arturia's Moog Modular V has a complement of modules typical of a midpriced hardware modular system from Moog, though not the exact configuration of any of the standard modular packages.
		Modular synthesis is a complex business, but the examples and documentation provided by Arturia will definitely get you up and running.
		Unless there is a free-run function in Moog Modular V that I'm not aware of, the oscillator phase definitely restarts upon each key-strike, which produces a 100 percent predictable detuning character on each note.

	Harmony Central®: Clavia Releases Nord Micro Modular Synthesizer
		The Nord Modular is a polyphonic synthesizer with which you can create your own synthesizer architecture from scratch on a computer screen, with virtual modules that you connect using virtual cables.
		The modules are "digital models" of traditional synthesizer building blocks such as oscillators, filters, envelope generators, distortion processors etc, plus a full array of special purpose modules.
		Nord Modular was launched in December 1997 and has been praised in music press world-wide as being one of the most innovative synthesizers in the history of synthesis.

		And it's only on that basis that these instruments, whatever their amazing other virtues, can make a lasting claim for themselves.
		I've exposed myself to heaps of demos of Nord Modulars and Qs and the same observation haunts the experience every time: the vast majority of the time, the sound quality of these machines simply doesn't please me musically.
		(I invite anyone interested to compare MP3s of the Q found on http://www.midiwall.com/q/ (thank you, Mark) with MP3s of the Modcan modular at http://www.modcan.com/sound.html (thank you, Bruce) and analyze the significant differences in the meatiness, smoothness, and authority of the sound.)
