In this video I’ll share 3 different ways to get started with modular synthesizers—even if you’re a complete beginner. I’ll talk about the advantages of starting with virtual synths, semi-modular synths, and Eurorack modular synths, as well as the differences between each approach so you can choose the best one for yourself.

I’ll also share tips for planning your first Eurorack modular synth and how to make sure you’re putting together a system that supports your musical goals. Finally, I'll share some resources to help you get deeper into learning synthesis.
