Modular V3

Audio plugins have always tried to replicate and recreate the effects and results that the analog ones offered. The biggest battle to offer realistic results is in the case of audio synthesizers.

Modular V3 is a tool that comes as a standalone application and a as VST plugin that manages to come as close as possible to the original, real sounds.

Its interface mimics that of the Moog – a monophonic analog modular synthesizer that arguably marked the birth of electronic music. Modular V3, though a digital tool, looks as sturdy and powerful as the real Moog synthesizer.

The digital version comes with 9 oscillators, 2 LFOs, 3 filter slots, 6 envelopes, a sequencer, mixer and a lot of parameters that pitch in when it comes to creating, shaping and perfecting a sound.

Modular V3 has its knobs in a well defined and thought out structure. Everything is neatly placed and easy to spot, even though there are tens of buttons all around. It might seem a bit too much at first but practice makes perfect.

The synthesizer packs a lot of punch and uses TAE (True Analog Emulation), a technology created to reproduce analog circuits but in a way that it doesn't hog your system resources. Using of TAE ensures stability and allows Modular V3 to help you generate any sound you can imagine, from angelic-chorus to something grimy you’d put in a horror movie soundtrack.

Modular V3, unlike the analog synthesizer, comes with a very generous amount of professionally designed presets that you can use to speed things up with your tracks. Moreover, you are free to fine-tune them to get the exact effect you need and save them as your own.

In closing, Modular V3 is truly a well-designed audio tool which you can certainly use without limits to synthesize any sound.
