Modular Synthesis for the Film Composer – Part 2

Share this:

In this series we’ll go on a journey to explore the wonderful world of modular synthesis.

A good entry point..

When I first started with Eurorack I wasted time and money on a system that I didn’t know how to integrate in my workflow. Retrospectively, the best entry point for me as a media composer, would have been setting up my modular as an external FX unit to process my music and my samples!

I firmly believe that as media composers we need to be unique, and making your own samples is a great first step to achieve this goal.

In this episode, we explore how to use Mutable Instruments Clouds (technically in the video I use Monsoon, a clone of the popular module) to do just that: we’ll process a set of vocal samples through Clouds’ granular and spectral processor.

Don’t miss the next part of this series!
