5 of the best modular software plug-ins
Modular synthesis is an expensive habit, so here's our roundup of much cheaper - but equally brilliant - modular plug-ins
4 Arturia Modular V
If you want to get an idea of what it’s like to create with the original Moog modular synth, Arturia are here and at your service. Created in partnership with Robert Moog, it features nine oscillators, three filter slots, two LFOs, six envelopes, VCAs, mixers, a sequencer and more.
£130, www.arturia.com
5 VCV Rack
This open-source modular system creates software versions of some of the most popular Eurorack modules. Their latest choice of machine is an emulation of Music Thing’s Modular Turing Machine, but has even greater options of ways to modulate your components. Oh, and best of all – most modules are free.
