This video, via The Tuesday Night Machines, is an update and overview on the Patchblocks Modular Synthesizers from Musikmesse 2015.

Patchblocks – hardware modules that you can program with your Mac or Windows computer.

The library of software modules includes signal generators and processors (e.g. oscillators, filters, delays etc.), signal routing options and even modules for algorithmic composition.

An editor lets you emulate how your patch will sound and once you’re happy with it, you can upload it to your Patchblock hardware by connecting it via USB. Once programmed you can unplug the Patchblock and jam away.

Patchblocks are available now, starting at 39 Euro each. See the Patchblocks site for more info.
