Adventures in Synthesis: Backyard Fall Afternoon Modular

I’m on a mission to challenge some ideas about modular synthesis: That is has to be expensive, or that you can’t build it yourself, or that it has to look pretty, that it’s too complicated, that you need an electrical engineering degree to play it, or that you can’t take it outside. After all, it’s a musical instrument not totally unlike a guitar. Now that I’ve reconfigured it a bit, why not bring it out to the back yard and play a bit? This simple patch was inspired by the work of Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith
