Bundle 01: Modular Synth Exploration
Description : The Modular Synth Exploration Bundle offers a dedicated space to explore and record a unique collection of modular synth units. The rental includes access to an acoustically treated room in the sound studio, equipped with monitor speakers, a pair of headphones, and an easy-to-use ZOOM recorder that is plugged directly out of the synth outputs to record your sounds. You are also welcome to bring your own equipment (audio interface, computer) to record sounds directly from the synth’s outputs.
This bundle is open both to seasoned sound designers, as well as modular synthesis beginners. As part of your first visit, you will receive a free consultation (maximum 1 hour) on the use of the equipment from the New Media Lab team.
Note : Before your first session, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with basic modular synthesis systems (oscillators (VCO), filters (VCF), envelopes (VCA), modulation sources (LFO) and sequencers). It is important that you have an understanding of the safe usage of these systems.
