Modular synthesis has been a passion of mine since 2016. It started with following artist such as Alessandro Cortini, Suzanne Ciani, Joel Zimmerman, and others. A visit to a local music store confirmed the interest and triggered the purchase of the first modules.
Since then, I have been building, expanding and using my modular synthesizer in a great variety of ways and for very different purposes, such as for sound design, coming up with unique melodies or just as a generative sound generation tool.
Videos and other content about my modular synthesiser explorations and usage below will be regularly updated.

Modular Studies - New YouTube Series
25th April 2019
One of the “pitfalls” of modular synthesis is the availability and diversification of available modules that exist for all different intents and purposes. The other important factor in modular synthesis is that there are modules that are incredibly deep and powerful, but quite often users don’t take the time and/or effort to really explore the modules and their capabilities.
For this reason, I decided to build a very small portable study system. This way, I am able to only use maximum of four modules at any point, and maximise the potential that lies within those modules. 48hp of width and 50mm of depth. The other reason being I can now finally use my modular in a comfortable fashion on a couch or even in bed.
To build it, I was very eager to see that 4ms has updated their Pod line of cases, which now includes deeper options, that allow modules of maximum 50mm of depth, which I need, so I went ahead and purchased the 4ms 40X Pod, powered version, as I didn’t want to take the power supply out of my main systems.
As I recently acquired the ER-301 Sound Computer module, which is probably the most powerful module in eurorack, I really want to explore its capabilities in depth, along with other modules I already had, such as uO&C (micro version of the Ornament & Crime), or Expert Sleepers Disting MK4. So I added these two, as well as a MIDI interface module, which allows me to control this little system either from my DAW or from the iPad. As a result, I will start a new YouTube playlist called “Modular Studies”, where I will study very focused functions within modules from my main studio system, maximum 4 modules at a time. The playlist is linked below with the first video, so if you enjoy it, please subscribe to my YouTube channel and share with a fellow modular user.
