SoloStuff´s SoloRack: A Series about Modular Synthesis - Demos and Tutorials

[rofilm]

I´ve started a new series. And – again – it´s about modular synthesis. I thought SoloStuff´s modular softsynth “SoloRack” worth a whole series of tutorials – and concipated one. Here is the first part: Installation and Overview



It´s a public part. Enjoy it! Rolf

The second part of my series of tutorials about SoloStuff´s modular softsynth “SoloRack” is online now:


In this second part of the series I talk about the menus and the hidden functions of SoloRack, give some explanations about oversampling and aliasing and build up a famous patch step by step (please see the timeline for details).

The whole series is meant to give you not only a profound knowledge about the modular softsynth SoloRack, but also a remarkable amount of knowledge about modular synthesis and even about sound synthesis in general. It makes it easy to step into the matter, even if you are a complete beginner (You are a professional? Well, you may like the series nevertheless).
