An Introduction to Modular Synthesis

A complete, fully modular analog synthesizer, the Foundation 3.1 is

a modern version of the great 1970's monosynths, conveniently

broken down into individual components with no hardwired signal

flow to restrict experimentation. Oscillators, mixer, filters, envelope,

VCAs, etc., are all individual modules.

Because each module performs a single function, without patch

cables the Foundation will not produce sound. A synthesizer voice

must first be patched up using cables to wire modules together. The

Foundation allows the signal flow to be rewired with every patch.

The voice can be as simple as listening to the triangle output of

an oscillator or as complex as a self running patch using all the

modules.
