Using the free program you are to create a Modular Synthesis Patch utilizing at least two synthesis techniques a sequencer, and more! This Modular Patch will be your own original creation. While the example patches are provided to you, you are to create this Modular Patch from scratch and practice the technique of Modular Synthesis. Strive to create a unique instrument/patch with timbral characteristic that you find interesting.
Your Modular Synthesis Patch must:
- Use at least two forms of Synthesis. For example:
- Additive Synthesis
- Subtractive Synthesis
- FM Synthesis
- Amplitude Modulation
- The patch must include at least 4 to 5 oscillators:
- Feel free to use a Noise Generator if you wish, it does not count towards oscillator total
- You must use the SEQ 3 module to create sequence:
- Route the either CV1, CV2, and CV3 to two of your oscillators
- All routing music be correct and the patch must function right away. Meaning, when I open your patch and hit Run on the SEQ 3 module the patch will work:
- Any errors will count as point(s) deduction two the final grade
- No additional patching should be required for the patch to function
- The patch cannot use any aspect of the example patches. Use those patches as examples, not a basis for you own Modular Patch. I want to hear your unique instrument and ideas; not the ones from the textbook.
- You patch must be properly saved in the VCV Rack format (.vcv). There should be no need to compress the file etcetera; simply upload it to the Moodle submission page.
A quick reminder about sound quality and synthesis: I would highly recommend using speakers or headphones or external speakers! Laptop speakers have a flat frequency response; you’ll miss a lot of details or your synthesis.
In addition to the finished Modular Synthesis Patch, you will also submit a written response between 150 to 250 words. Within it, repose to the following questions:
- How did you approach the timbre of your patch? What waveforms did you use and why?
- What was your approach to the signal flow and patching of the instrument? Did you experiment with the patching?
- Your reflections on creating your unique Modular Patch/Synthesizer. Did you model it on something in the text? Some other sound your heard in a song for example? How well do you think you achieved the initial sound you were going for?
Submit this portion of composition as some sort of text file. Preferable as a Word document (.doc or .docx). No PDF or fixed formats, an editable text file please (so I can leave comments et cetera). A comment on the Moodle submission page does not meet this requirement.
