Projects:Modular synthesizer

A modular synthesizer is a musical instrument that creates sound by combining various specialized modules together (see Wikipedia for more info).

At HSN, we're creating our own modular synth by designing and/or building these modules ourselves. We usually work on (and play with) the synth on Synth and Stompbox Night.
