Patching techniques

Pehr

Are there any good sources, websites or books, of analog modular patches and ideas?

Like Scotts old site or similar. But more than one Wink

All I can find when googling is 'presets' and patch databases for digital synths... Rolling Eyes

If you can get Gordon Reid (from SOS fame)'s series on modular synthesis- that was very good- if I remember. I do however recommend getting a Nord Micromodular and getting hold of the entire back catalogue of patches for it. Check out Chet Singer's patches for one- they were quite mental Wink

I've read some SOS articles, but they seem very general.

Perhaps I'll download the StudioFactory again Smile

korganalogue.net has some tips, but I don't own a MS-20 Crying or Very sad

Yes, some of the patches looks interesting, and I'm going to test them.

However, I was thinking of the frequency responce difference, Hz/V of the Korg and 1V/Oct in my system. I also don't know what kind of gate/trigger MS series uses... Confused

The doepfer site also contains some basic patches, but I already know of the operation of most of them... http://www.doepfer.de/a100_man/a100_patch.htm

Well, following the link from the 'korganalogue.net' to the 'Analogue Heaven' page and searching for 'patching' got me quite a good result:

The Arp 2600 Owners Manual conatin a lot of nice info! Shocked

Yes, I think the 2600 manual is one of the best patch manuals going. There is, somewhere, an Odessey manual.

Also check out the EMU Modular manual, the Moog Modular Manual and Roland set The Synthesizer ( based on the Sys 100m )

Maybe will be a good idea a subforum or a thread for share ours patches.

some cool nuggets of knowledge slip through here now and then:

Thanks everyone! Very Happy

I've got some really good sources now.

I've also decided to save my own patches and post them here, possibly in the MFOS subforum since my modular is all MFOS.

Hi, I would like to know the uses of EG:s. Can an EG make an envelope without the use of a keyboard? if I want a sequencer to start an envelope instead of a keyboard, how do I patch that? can an LFO start an EG? I have not been able to do that so therefore I ask. I thought I should clear that out by my self, but no. Mad

Thankful for all help

I have tried that but the EG is stone dead. I´m new to modulars so please explain the whole chain including vco. The examples I´ve seen with EG:s usually includes a keyboard.

sequencer gate-trigger out->eg gate-trigger in
eg out->vca cv in
vco waveform out->vca audio in
