what exactly does a modular synthesiser do? example the nord modular etc?

i looked on the internet but could only find programming tips..

is the sound drastically different, or is it just a different layout or something?

thanks~

some of my fondest synthesis memories are of the hours upon hours i spent in the studio at school just messing around with the emu modular and moog system 15. my professor told me that when he recieved his Ph.D. in the mid eighties whoever was running the music department there decided that anything analog was obsolete and tried to dump everything and get a bunch of those newfangled dx7's and emulators. he was offered a huge c-series moog modular and a couple system 15's, a prophet 5 and an oberheim 4-voice all for a couple hundred dollars. he turned it down!!!:0

Fuck me   Bet he's kicking himself now.

I've only had 4 hours or so with it but the Nord Modular is fantastic. The only thing that really sucks is that you have no idea what knob does what on the thing.. There are no labels and all the knobs are freely assignable..

I already got a nice 3-osc FM-ish pad going with the formant filter... A very cool sound that isn't possible with any analog I know of. It's going to take a while though before I really get my head around everything in there!

Hi,

If you want a 'REAL' modular, take a look at these modules ;- http://www.oakleysound.co.uk
you can buy them pre-assembled or as kits (cheaper)...

Yeah, that's kinda cute, but here's the real stuff:

If you're gonna go with new modules, this stuff is pretty much as nice as it gets. Other companies like Wiard are also doing some really nice modules, and Serge is still kick-ass, but I've got a friend with these MTOM modules and OMG they sound SOOOOO sick. So stinky, warm, fat, defined, clean, and just what the witch doctor ordered.
