Sound Design with Modular Synthesizers
150 Massachusetts Avenue, Room B51

While software synthesizers play a central role in all genres
of electronic music, modular synthesizers have increasingly
become part of the savvy artist/producer’s arsenal. In the
past few years, a legion of boutique manufacturers have
embraced the Eurorack modular synthesizer format, offering
an amazing variety of bold new designs that bridge the gap
between analog voltage control and digital synthesizers.
