Modular V3

Quick review. I've had this for nearly a year and have been kick started into creating my own sounds by the release of version2. Note that now the spec above doesn't include the new modules. The total number of modules are I think the same but you can swap modules. So you can add sample & hold (x2 by swapping out 2 envelopes) a Bode Frequency shifter, a formant filter (swaps with an LFO) and a ring modulator (swaps out an envelope).
Coming to Modular synthesis for the first time (my background is early 80s monsynths) it was a bit of a steep learning curve but the manual is very good.

User interface - now scrollable, I do sometimes find it hard to get fine control even pressing shift.

The presets are a little better in V2 with banks by Klaus Schulze among others, but overall I don't think they are a great advert. I would have prefered less.
Stability - sometimes I have problems when running several instances with other heavy VSTs but that comes with the territory. Having said that I understand V2.1 is on it's way.

Oh, and nearly forgot...it sounds great! The sound is very heavy and organic, I've not really got any "delicate light sounds" but that is probably down to my programming but again it's also down to the actually real life model for this software, it was a bit of a bruiser! The new modules do open up a lot more sound creation possibilities, especially if you are going for complex sounds like those on the early Tomita albums.Read Review
