Today we are going to have a look at building a modular synthesizer designed for making Techno. My system is actually designed to be pretty flexible, but over the last few years I have been making modular music, the techno tracks have been the more popular ones, and quite some people asked me how to get started building a techno system. So here it is!
We define some key elements: The kick, percussion, synths, effects and sequencers. For each of those elements we go over some core modules and options to look at. What kick, percussion, synths and effects are the ones for you? We end with a bonus tip.
