I can understand your frustrations as I to have learning difficulties, it can be very overwhelming, especially if you started out in vst world like i did. However, I believe for someone like yourself you could get a lot out of a small modular system to start with. Maybe check out some tutorials on ...

As moderator I have been moving your posts here to this thread since they are all on the same topic. I see, but everytime I make a new one I assume it can help me. Sorry for cursing, I got angry. I just wish everything was simpler and easy for me to understand. I think I'm going to stop posting her...

another question, why is it when i post a new topic it moves it to this f**k topic? I mean what's the point of that? It only makes this project f**k harder.

So I'm building my own synthesizer (as in buying seperate modulators and stuff, not building from scratch), and I wanted to buy this synth to start me off: http://www.nordkeyboards.com/products/nord-lead-a1 I plan to add that to a cabinet and add on external modulators for other effects and such. I ...

Yes: By reading the specs and/or description of the synth in question.

it says stuff like CV/Gate for filter, ddoes it mean it only works with a filter?

EQ would be easiest, and cheapest to get with a simple mixer or guitar pedal. You could also use a band pass filter module. I'd suggest just starting small. You'll start to see what you need as you use the stuff. The whole point of having a modular synth is to be able to patch them together in inte...

So, I am pretty set on buying this synthesizer here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Clavia-Nord-Rack-1-Analog-Modeling-Synthesizer-Nord-Lead-1-World-Ship-/111749180457?hash=item1a04c52c29 And I would like to know if it is possible to get an external modulator to work with this. For example: The synth doesn...

so if it works with CV, then it'll work with eternal modulators?

So, for this chassis, do I need one for the entire thing? Or one chassis per module? And I'm guessing I have to buy them seperatly? Also, why do I need 2 envelope generators? What's wrong with one? Here's a chassis: http://www.analoguehaven.com/doepfer/a100lc6/a100lc6s.jpg http://www.analoguehaven....

-I buy pre built modular from different manufactures, will they work together? Yes or no? If they are in the same format...for example, Eurorack which is currently the most popular. You need to buy a chassis which usually has the power supply built in. If not, you buy a power supply for the chassis...

What I'm getting, is that you want a pre-built modular. Not something you want to build from scratch (soldering components)? Right? yes, I want to order pre built parts and then put them all together. But HOW??? Do I get a wire and connect them? Do I just use a cable and plug one into the other? do...

I though modules were boxes, and all you had to do was get one of those wires and connect it to something and you're good, but it got extremely technical and above my current knowledge. The biggest problem I had was the oscillators and where the power came from, so I thought "Why not just buy a bas...

if I got one synth, and say it didnt have a LFO. could i get a LFO module and then link the external LFO module to work with the synth? When talking about self contained, hardwired synthesizers, in general the answer is NO . When talking about modular synthesizers the answer is YES. From everything...

first question: say I buy a pretty basic synthesizer, can I buy separate modulators and then hook it up to the synth so it'll effect the sound the synth makes? Not sure whether I understood your question correctly. You can, however, use sound modulating FX units such as chorus or flanger (and that ...
