Online Workshop: An Introduction to Modular Synthesis Using VCV Rack

Post by Lighthouse » Fri Nov 20, 2020 11:10 am

A workshop for Black* music producers that will introduce modular synthesis using free software VCV Rack. Led by K Man (The Phantom).

About this Event

In this online workshop, K Man will demonstrate the fundamental principles of modular using VCV Rack, with a focus on using the software to create new sounds and patterns that can then be sampled, or used as a starting point for tracks within a DAW.

The workshop will focus on practical exploration over discussion of theory and demonstrate how use of the software (and by extension, modular synthesiser hardware) can be incorporated into your existing musical practice.

Modular synthesisers are expensive, so there is a high barrier to entry. VCV Rack is a free modular synthesiser emulator, with which users can experiment with modular synthesis without the cost associated with hardware. Modular synthesis can throw up unexpected and exciting results, and the workflow is radically different to that in a DAW such as Ableton.

You will get the most out of this workshop if you are familiar and comfortable with how music software works (whether that’s Ableton, Logic, Cubase etc), but do not need prior experience with modular synths.

This event is for 10 participants.
*Note: In this instance, the workshop is an opportunity for artists, producers, and musicians of African or Caribbean descent.
