Modular

A modular synthesizer is a sound synthesis system made of independent modules (oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFOs, sequencers, etc.) that are connected using patch cables. There’s no fixed signal path: the user creates their own signal flow each time they patch. Modular synths are widely used for sound experimentation, advanced synthesis, and live performances, offering total sonic freedom—but also requiring a solid understanding of signals (audio, CV, gate, etc.). The most common format is Eurorack.
