Arturia Modular-V Walkthrough Ep.06 - Module Wrap-Up

The Moog Modular was an absolute monster of a synthesizer, and Arturia's emulation of it is a joy to behold. It's a great introduction to Modular synthesis - the idea of building a synth from blocks of components - since it's so easy to make amazing sounds!
In this episode we have a whistle-stop tour of the components I haven't already covered, including the Glide feature, the Filter Bank, Noise Generators, X-Y Controllers, and more.
About me:
My name is Anthony Chisnall. I'm a musician and a songwriter. I've created this channel - One Man and His Songs - in order to share with you everything I learn as I strive to improve my songwriting skills. Watch my songs evolve each week - the rhythms, the melodies, the lyrics, the production... everything I need to learn in order to produce professional-sounding music of which I can be proud!
I play the electric and acoustic guitar, and the bass guitar, and record all of my own synth-based sounds myself too, but I can't sing very well (huge understatement!), and so my wife, Pauline, who has a lovely singing voice, has come to my rescue. You'll hear her on all of my songs.
All of my music is written in Steinberg's Cubase.
I want to build a community of music-lovers with whom I can share my experiences, and from whom I can gain valuable feedback as I pursue my dream of learning to write great songs. I really hope you'll join me on my journey!

Great walkthrough! Your explanation of the module features and functions was very clear and easy to follow. Looking forward to using the Modular-V with confidence thanks to your helpful tutorial

What I found in the manual and what really lets the Noise-generator shine is the "Sample & Hold"-module (S.H.): Connect a Noise-OUT to the S.H.-module IN and put the "TRIG ON"-switch to the left. Then, choose the "TRIG IN"-source (for example "Keyboard Trigger On"). Now each time the TRIG IN-event occurs (in this example: each time a key is pressed), the current level of the NOISE-input gets sampled and is held and sent to the Output until the next occurrence of the TRIG-IN-event (in this example: until the next key is pressed). With this simple connection, you get a random voltage which stays the same for a controlled amount of time....For example: you could use the S.H. Out of the example to control a Filter. So the Filter has a random Cutoff, which changes with everytime you press a key - but stays the same as long as you press the key. You can make really, really nice stuff with this.

Absolutely, thanks for the post! I feel a bit sad that I didn't spend longer discussing the individual modules for this synth. It's certainly an area I'd like to revisit in the future.

Love you Man many thanks

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

I really appreciate the comments for the KZbin bump - thanks very much :)

[@analogcam]

These videos deserve more views! You're a great teacher, I feel like I actually understand what these knobs do now, I'm not just randomly changing them and hoping for the best :) thanks for the great work!

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

You're very welcome! Thanks for the great feedback, I really appreciate it :)

Toda la serie de videos sobre el MMoog es un tesoro, extraordinario. Muchas gracias!!!!

Nice Wrap-Up. So beautiful to be able to understand now this whole tool. You should have done the same wrap-up with the ARP 2600, for all these last buttons.

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure why I took a different approach with this one - I probably thought there were too many little points to discuss to leave out whereas with the ARP I really pulled it to pieces!

[@zachhaywood1564]

Are there any significant differences between an EQ and an actual fixed filter bank? Or are the two terms more or less interchangeable? Because here it's labeled as an FFB, but you refer to it as an EQ, is there something I'm missing?

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

I shouldn't have referred to it as an EQ, but functionally they are very similar. If, for example, I setup a notch filter at 1khz, that would yield the same result as pulling down a parametric EQ centred on 1khz. If you look at the results in a spectrum analyser you'd see the same shape in both cases.

@@OneManAndHisSongs Thanks for the clarification, and thank you for this series!
