This series of videos, via Walker Farrell, captures an introduction to modular synthesis, presented at MakeNoise Music, featuring designer Tony Rolando, artists Robert Lowe (Lichens) and Richard Devine, and performances of patches from the MakeNoise Shared System Series.
The Bob Moog Foundation – a non-profit organization devoted to the preservation of Bob Moog’s legacy – has shared a great series of videos looking at the foundations of synthesis.
Developer Taylor Holliday has released an update to Audulus, his modular synth for the iPad. The key feature of this update is the ability to modulate knobs, demonstrated with an LFO in the video above. In effect, this lets you modulate just about anything.
Developer Robert Tubb has introduced The Wablet, a “physics based synthesiser and noise toy”. Here’s how Tubb describes it: An animated mesh of springs can be vibrated with the fingers. A path around this mesh is read as into an audio waveform, and hence your gestures are turned into sound. Complex evolving drones, chiptunes bleeps… Read More The Wablet – A Physics-Based Synthesizer & Noise Toy
Synth and sound designer Rob Papen has published a new multimedia masterclass on synthesis, The Secrets Of Subtractive Synthesis. The 200+ page book is accompanied by four DVDs with over 10 hours of content, offering in-depth insight into his approach of working with subtractive synthesis. Throughout the masterclass, a variety of hardware and software synthesizers are explored.

Meesha has released a free modular synth for Windows, Datmatriks: Damatriks is a “classic” modular synthesizer system VST plugin, inspired by the modular analog synths. With many different modules in place, endless creativity is guaranteed. These modules can be patched using a CV (control voltage) matrix module, creating complex CV patches.
This video, by Rodrigo Constanzo, explores ‘concatenative synthesis’, an approach to synthesis that lets you play anything with anything: C-C-Combine is a corpus-based audio mosiacing application, built in Max/MSP, based on concatenative synthesis. Concatenative synthesis is a technique for synthesizing sounds by concatenating short samples of recorded sound. It is essentially a type of granular synthesis… Read More ‘Concatenative Synthesis’ Lets You Play Anything With Anything
